STKDirty Posted May 31 Posted May 31 (edited) Hello, Sorry if asked before. We're running a mission where GPS is jammed (wargamed), so we cannot use GPS weapons. Our target is the C3 bunker where the jammer is. It is a hardened target. Cannot user GBU31s since they are GPS and apparently do not support CCIP/CCRP (please correct me if i'm wrong here). Also, weather is terrible, so Walleyes are out too. Looking at other bombs in F18 inventory, I see Mk84s and GPU10s. Neither are penetrators. Tried using them anyway, but 2 Mk84s with tail fuse did not scratch the bunker. Does anyone have any data on how to kill a hardened bunker with unguided weapons in the F18? Thanks!

Draken35 Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Did you change any fuse settings in the rearming screen or just selected tail in the Stores page?
STKDirty Posted May 31 Author Posted May 31 I selected tail in the stores page. Theres no DCS documentation regarding the fuzes so i have no idea what they do. usually when I change the default, the bombs are duds so i never bothered. im assuming I have to do something with the fuzes, lol. any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
Dr_Pavelheer Posted May 31 Posted May 31 GBU-24 are also penetrators, drop two and they'll blow up a bunker. GBU-10 and Mk84 from what I've seen aren't regardless of fusing

Thanks! I would try this: The arming delay is how lot it takes to arm itself after leaving the rack and the function delay is how long after "impact" (fuse activation) it will detonate... Not sure if the type of plug makes a difference, but the long conical look pointy enough I did not suggest the GBU-24 because they are LGB and, probably, don't "fly right" in CCIP or AUTO and since the weather is reported as "terrible", laser shouldn't work either (but it is DCS after all)...

STKDirty Posted June 1 Author Posted June 1 Thank you all for the input. the GBU24s worked perfectly, ended up using the laser. Since we were so low the wind didnt affect it much. However, now I plan to do some more research on the different fuzes and uses. Not sure why ED decided not to document this, but I know the info is out there somewhere. Thanks!

Muchocracker Posted June 3 Posted June 3 No, There are no general purpose configured penetrator warheads
Nealius Posted June 3 Posted June 3 Given the original mission parameters of low cloud cover, I'm curious, does our Hornet currently model the GBU-24's unguided CCIP-esque delivery profile that uses the FPM as a pipper?
Ignition Posted June 4 Posted June 4 BLU-109 type bombs are penetrators, and not MK84 I believe the GBU-24 from DCS is based on BLU-109, I don't remember. The F-15E would have the GBU-15, AGM-130 and GBU-28 by now. 1
