Do CBU-94 Graphite Bombs not work in sim?
-
I dropped a pair on a power facility and on the 2D the damage said 0 and the plant was still at 100%.
Are these just for eye candy? -
What did the debriefing say?
C9
-
Did cassette bursted?
Yesterday I have dropped some Rockeyes and some of them didn’t bursted. I probably made some mistake like dropping them from low alt or so. -

Mission failed. Target wasn’t damaged.

That’s why it was still 100%.
Wrong weapon for the job. CBU-94 is a Chemical Explosion type bomb. Try CBU-94 SFW, they’re AP/PEN(All purpose/Penetrating)
Or use conventional dumb bombs or GBU’s.

Incorrect. The CBU-94 is a graphite cluster weapon meant to be dropped on power substations. The BLU-114 warhead is what disabled like 90% of Saddam’s power grid during Desert Storm.

I posted what it is in BMS, not what it is in RL!
Many weapons in Falcon do not mimic, nor do they perform as their RL counterparts in ways, shape and form.

Oh right. K I’m on the same page now :rolleyes:

What do you mean with that, are not all explosive filled bombs chemical?

But in any case, so they’re modeled? I never realized!…

Check with Editor the warhead type and see what dmg. can cause for bulidings with stat values for certain dmg types.
IMHO this weapon is just a good expamle that many things were planned and insterted into DB because of very old and way too big plans, which are now only garbage in DB which can be recycled for better use.

This cluster bomb is not filled with explosives, its purpose (IRL) is to shower a power plant with a cloud of carbon filaments
-
I know how it works IRL. But C9 said it is working chemical.
IRL i m working a lot with carbon fibres (btw the fibres from the video are way to bright for me) so i would say the bomb is working more in the physical way (carbon fibre are electric conductive). -
Not wanna spoil the fun, but didn’t the USAF switch to “normal” bombs because they were tired of flying to a plant and drop CBU-94s, only to come back a few days later to drop CBUs again?
I mean bombs would be more permanent -
In DB CBU-94 is chem, power plants have 15 and 25 dmg modifiers, HE bombs have 25. In cas use a lot in theorty should workd. Blast rad. and dmg. values of ther bomb are also similar to traditional weapons. If in 3D world does not work in 2D world it should in theory. I have never tried.
