noted JDAM settings issue

[Devv]

The bomb does not fall at the angle that was set up. Track file is attached.

Steps to reproduce.

Track name: (imp_angl2_gbu-38_85-90degrees), (imp_angl2_gbu-31_85-90degrees).

2x gbu-38 settings were set thru mfd page (80-90 degrees)

Both bombs were released in drop zone (according to hud indication)

Both bombs hit target with 20-30 degrees pitch (according to F6 info)

Same issue persists for gbu-31 

 

10 degress settings do the job but in very strange manner - bombs are going the very same trajectory but going up to 10 degress right before impact. But these 10 degress settings for some reason don't work for GBU-31 with a penetrator - bomb follows the same trajectory as it is a default one. Track name: (imp_angl2_gbu-31_10degrees), (imp_angl2_gbu-38_10degrees).

As per default settings we have the same behaviour - bombs just falling the same 20-30 degrees angle instead of 60 by default. Track name: (imp_angl2_gbu-38_standart_60_degrees).

As per continuous testing the only way to use impact angle properly is to drop munitions at the half of the distance of the drop zone. Unfortunately there no proper indication on HUD for such zone and it could be only estimated by pilot. Please check this since it can be an issue while attacking a new CH assets those can destroyed by munitions entering the radar dead zone and hit them from above. Track name: (imp_angl2_gbu-31_85degrees_half_zone).

Do you mean pitch angle of bomb trajectory or your plane pitch position?

It's about the pitch angle (impact angle) of the bomb

Hi, 

thank you for the report, currently this is not implemented, we may see it added in the future, but for now I have moved to wish list. 

thank you

Thanks for the answer. 

But from my experience, this feature does work(partially) in DCS but not as it is stated in the manual, so i would say that it is implemented, but not correctly. The manual does not specify that this feature is yet to be added or that its work in progress. I have already attached a track file in which i used that exact feature and there you could also see that some impact angle settings DO work(like the 10* setting. Track name: (imp_angl2_gbu-31_10degrees), (imp_angl2_gbu-38_10degrees)) while others dont work at all and are broken.
