Best HOF for new CBU's

[splitter]

I was using the new CBU's and noticed that if you leave the HOF as default...they either don't work or don't split in time to be fully effective. What settings including the HOF are people using to get the most out of them?

Cheers Split.

Set HOF to 1800.

 

Will be fixed for next patch. Multiple threads about this out right now.

Heh, I learned that the hard way. I dropped one right on top of a T-72 and the whole payload just thumped off the roof.

 

I pictured a bunch of Marines pinned down, asking for air support, seeing me fly over and release a few hundred thousand dollars of pain... and then it just bonks off the top of a tank, and the crew inside are all "What the hell."

1800 is certainly the best for all situation..

If you have wind, 1200 works well to and you don't get as much drift

I find 2200 (2300? The next one after 1800) can work well for the 97/105 anti-armor kind. Those little skeet are picky about what they'll shoot at and I find I usually get better coverage with them by popping them higher, especially if I don't know what else is out there and I'm trying to stretch out my stores.

I don't see a profile setting option to change the HOF, am I missing something since the newest update??

[EtherealN]

It's set through INV page.

I'll post a track if no one else has gotten this but when I drop my CBU-97s (after setting the HOF to 1800 of course), I get a good separation of the canister and switch to weapon view to watch the bomblets parachute down. This is where it gets interesting...the bomblets with their parachutes start bouncing up and down on the ground moments before exploding. Bouncing as in they drift to ground level, stop, and then gain altitude ~30ft before drifting back down. They do this several times before detonation. Anyone else seen this?

[GGTharos]

Are you seeing them bounce several times, or is it just confusing for you to see multiple BLU-108's shoot back up once, but not at the same time? :)

:music_whistling: That.
