Bomb Fuse Selection (Nose or Nose and Tail) Does Not Work

[Rolds]

FUSE SELECTION DOES NOT WORK.trkSee Attached Track.

 

In this situation the bombs are equiped with 11 second delay tail fuses and instantaneous nose fuses. With Tail fusing selected, the nose fuse should not function, resulting in 11 second delay. With Nose/Tail selected, both fuses should function, resulting in instantaneous explosion. 

As you will se in the track, with tail fusing selected, the bombs explode immediately on contact with the ground. The nose fuse should not function in this situation (except in cases of weapon malfunction which is not modeled in DCS and in any case the results are consistent in all of my tests).

I came to the same conclusion on Aug 6 when I posted this:

I tried more fuse combos today but they all exploded on contact.

Plugs made no difference unless used N and T, when no explosion will occur.

The correct use for a 5 or11 second delay tail fuse AN M116, is for very low level and the nose plug in, but it explodes on contact.

The only one that provided a usable delay was nose fuse Mk 244 mod 1, (anti submarine), which gave 4 secs with switch in N/T psition.

Oh well, keep plodding on.

The M135 A1 and M136 A1 air burst fuse actually works!

This timed nose fuse was a thing before radar alt was used.

Minimum setting 5 secs. (should be 10), Never used by the Navy, but could be a fun thing to try.
