Decreasing accuracy during DT bomb runs


Recommended Posts

Posted

I noticed a decrease in accuracy when doing more than one (practice) bomb run on a target (did 5-8 runs with Mk 81 or Mk 82, Drag Coefficent set). After the first run bombs tend to be released too late and impact far behind the target. Do I have to reset the radar (or does Jester do it?). I could imagine that it might be an INS Issue after too harsh manoeuvring...

Definitely possible, yes.

Without track hard to tell though. But that would be my guess as well.

What are your delivery parameters? Last week I did multiple bombing practice sessions dropping Mk82s in DT mode. Dropping in pairs, 6 passes (12 bombs). Run in from about 20,000ft above the target, 3-4G pull down, 20-30deg dive angle, 5-6ish G safe escape. My CEP was within 50m on all drops.

I dropped 12 Mk81s as single or pairs. Initial Altitude was between 5500ft-7000ft GND, dive angle ~30-40°. Tried the same setting yesterday. This time with full INS alignment (Did stored HDG-alignment on most occasions). Results improved.
