Rick Mave Posted Monday at 07:53 PM Posted Monday at 07:53 PM I want to propose a rework of the BL-755 bomb and the addition of the mkii variant with chute retarded submunitions. The BL-755mk2 saw extensive use in the GAF and RAF, and is currently missing from DCS entirely. Currently we are encountering some hurdles when trying to recreate the low level ingress bombing runs that the GAF favoured in the 80s, using the BL755 that is in the game. The BL755 that is in DCS has an arming delay of 2 seconds, resulting in the frequent deployment of duds as it forces us to go above the realistic run in altitudes. This results in a run in of around 300ft, as opposed to the would be realistic ~150ft altitude at release of the bombs, as well as puts the aircraft at increased risk due to the free fall submunitions reaching the target significantly faster than a chute retarded submunition would. Would it be possible to implement this bomb in DCS? Further, the current model of the bomb is in a pretty poor state visually, compared to the more recently reworked CBUs like the CBU-87 Spoiler https://cat-uxo.com/explosive-hazards/submunitions/bl-755-mk2-submunition
