Mike_Romeo Posted October 13 Posted October 13 1. Go air to ground mode 2. Master arm, ON 3. Delivery mode: SET 4. Fuze: Nose, Tail, Nose/Tail 5. Release. I bet you forgot to set the Fuze My skins

I don't miss anything, i was asking about release parameter (if any, never use this bomb). But it's seems to be a bug. Whatever the release altitude (2000, 3000, 5000, ..) the cansiter opens immediately and bomblets are released. In my post, I specified, "they don't seem to work properly. " so the minimum a person should do before replying would be to check if the mk-20s work properly and the method used (CCRP, CCIP, Dive angle,speed, and so on). Then perhaps someone can confirm it's a bug or there is a special procedure to use them ? Edited October 13 by sylkhan

Then everyone will see immediately if there are user errors or not. Instead of each wasting time making a mission.I don't understand why people always object to providing tracks. It's really the simplest of ways for everyone. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

tekwoj Posted October 13 Posted October 13 Yep, they are absolutely bugged. It seems like right now they always drop with a 1.2s fuze and the CCIP/CCRP is very off. If I understand wiki correctly, nose fuse should have dispenser open after 1.2s, n+t should be 4s and tail only should result in failure. Right now the dispenser opens after 1.2s regardless of fuze settings. 1
supersylph Posted October 14 Posted October 14 In the ground crew loading window, click the yellow triangle icon on the bomb icon and try setting the bomb fuse parameters there. 2

The default settings are exactly what I described should happen - main fuze 1.2s, optional 4s. Either the weapon is bugged - then ED should fix it, or the plane doesn't pass the set fuze info correctly so Deka should fix the plane. And regardless which one it is, the release point is calculated wrong.

It seems that the canister opening time must vary according to release altitude and dive angle. someone has made an interesting table, take a look https://flyandwire.com/2022/08/05/the-mk-20-rockeye-cluster-bomb-observations/ I will made a bug report to ED but they don't seem to be very reactive to treat the bugs, then i am afraid that we will have to wait a long time.
