CCIP Question.

[GunnDawg]

I have read the manual regarding CCIP drops and still cannot figure out whats going on here. Basically no matter what I drop in CCIP I have that X in the middle of my CCIP piper. Below is a link to a screenshot to better illustrate the situation. How do I correct this as my bombs are hitting off target!

Hi,

 

what's your approach to the release point? I've seen the X when I'm too steep. Try a lower altitude and shallower pitch angle.

 

Have you read through the HUD portion of the manual? It goes over the resaons you'd get an X. See pages 361-367.

Try setting the Safe Escape Maneuver (SEM) in the weapon profile from NONE to any of the other settings, such as CLM (climb).

I have tried everything. Come at it higher with steeper dive, lower with a less steep dive. Some times the MRS is above the PIPER which doesnt give an X but when I pickle the weapons with the target in the center of the PIPER the bombs still land way off. ugh.

Have you tried what EB suggested?

I couldnt find where to set SEM on the GBU-12's profile setup.

Why on earth are you CCIP'ing a GBU-12?

Gbu12 is smart bomb use ccrp.

 

Grab a gbu32 for ccip.

 

Fly towards target at 20-30 angle keeping pipper on target. When reticule moves up to pipper drop bomb.

Doh! I flip flopped em, thought I had an MK82 ready to rip. Guess I should double check my DSMS. Would that make any difference though ?

Also is there anyway to change your weapon load out when doing quick missions? that's how I have been practicing and they don't give me any unguided bombs (at least I don't think). I am picking the very first one which gives you 2 x AGM, 1 x JDAM, 1 x GBU-12

There's a setting for CCRP release point calculation for LGB (I think). Toggles between "optimum" and "ballistic". Default is "optimum"; think if you set it to "ballistic", it will be closer on target if you drop it as a dumb-bomb. But seriouly; why would you? :D

 

 

Changing load-out is possible in the mission-planner. Don't think quick missions give you that option, but not sure tbh. :huh:

Guided munitions will only launch when launch variables are met. Could use the manual release (jettison stores) button though. Not sure on you accuracy though. I have tried when my jet gets shot to pieces but have not hit anytthing yet.
