reported Bombs of the same type will DUD if equipped with a different type of cover \ fuze

[BarTzi]

That's an odd one, but it seems that if two (or more) bombs of the same type are equipped with different types of covers or fuzes, they will dud. 

Here's a quick example with the following:

I have two MK82 bombs on the plane. Both are equipped with the M-905 tail fuze. One has a long conical cover, and the other one does not. They dud 100% of the time (can be seen in the attached track file called dud bombs). Swap the nose cone to be identical, and the problem is solved (see the attached file no-dud bombs, where I set both bombs with the long conical nose cover and they don't dud). Since it's a very simple CCIP drop, I don't think It's something on my end. The same result can be achieved if you select a different tail fuze (both bombs will dud until you set the fuze to be identical).

The same can be said for every bomb and almost every combination of covers and fuzes (Can be seen when using JDAMS and laser guided bombs as well).

Hi @BarTzi

Indeed that's an odd one.

Thanks for bringing this to us, I've raised this internally for analysis.
