Justin Case Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 I have searched the forums and the googles but so far no joy... Are there any documents and tables for manual delivery with the STBY reticule? http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
Depth Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Only sensible thing to do when damaged is to RTB You could dive bomb but then you'd have to release at a very low altitude to get any accuracy. The A10 would stall immediately when exposed to the g-forces needed to pull out of the dive. I think your best bet would be to strap on 18 MK-82s and do some carpet bombing. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BlueRidgeDx Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 "Justin", This is one of the difficulties of having such a faithful simulator. Yes, there are ballistics tables containing the sight depressions for various weapons using various delivery parameters. Unfortunately, the tables are contained in manual supplements, and in mission planning software that will never be in the public domain due to the security of it's content. Manual deliveries are practiced in the real world, but we sim pilots don't have access to the required data, unfortunately. "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt. Col.

Justin Case Posted February 26, 2012 Author Posted February 26, 2012 When damaged I always go RTB, unless I'm pissed at whatever hit me! This was more a thing of quriosity. Ok, well that's too bad...it would have been fun to at least know how they did it back in the days. Thanks for the reply! http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
Depth Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Research it :D Constant speed, constant altitude, flat terrain. Measure the distance from release point to impact point and there you have it. The hardest part is to eyeball the distance from the plane but if your TGP is still working you could use the stopwatch in the plane to take notes when you pass directly above the target and calculate a release point based on your speed. If you make it work I really hope you use your god powers to do good and not evil. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Wolfie Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) Research it :D Yeah, like Depth said, just do like snipers do, and make your own range tables through trial and error. You'll eventually piece out the curve. As for the range tables, the government might as well release them as I'm sure the Chinese had it before our own pilots even. Dam government officials who can't keep their pants zipped.

mvsgas Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) you can always look for information about dive bombing in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. This might help give a basis and you can practice until you find what works. Things like diving from 9k feet at 70 degrees 72 mil of deflection on the manual sight, try and adjust. ( I just made up the numbers, no particular reason, just an example) Did not read the whole thing, but it might help; ADVISORY GROUP FOR AEROSPACE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT Edited February 26, 2012 by mvsgas To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..
ralfidude Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Well CCIP is weird anyway, you have to be at constant speed even WITH the pipper there... Those bombs always miss for me otherwise. [sIGPIC]http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b66/ralfidude/redofullalmost_zpsa942f3fe.gif[/sIGPIC]

Depth Posted February 27, 2012 Posted February 27, 2012 Yeah, like Depth said, just do like snipers do, and make your own range tables through trial and error. Eh this would be more comparable to a sniper sitting on a car going back and fourth on a road trying to hit a target without using the scope and only getting a glimpse of the target before driving by. Or unless it's CCIP in which case I would compare it to sniping from the hip. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BlueRidgeDx Posted February 28, 2012 Posted February 28, 2012 If you're having trouble with CCIP, it's because you're doing something wrong. It works exactly as it's supposed to. Just sayin'. "They've got us surrounded again - those poor bastards!" - Lt. Col. Creighton Abrams
