Bug report: I get blasted out of the sky by absolutely nothing

I was on a campaign mission and at some point something appeared to hit me, my plane started tumbling in the air and I ejected.
No missile hit me and nobody gunned me either. Debrief didn’t list any AAA shots.ACMI suggests that I hit myself with a GBU-54, but my aircraft only started tumbling several seconds after the bomb supposedly hit me. Also, I don’t remember pulling negative Gs. And the bomb didn’t even touch me, it’s distance from me was increasing.
The really weird thing is that debrief said that the bomb damaged pretty much every object around me, both blue and red units (this was also visible in 3D, ground units started flashing).
The list is much longer than that and also includes aircraft.
What I did notice was that the TGP suddenly looked somewhere else after I released the bomb.

Not tried, I don’t think I can reproduce it.Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is going on here?

I’d be concerned also at the BLUFOR vehicles listed in there seemingly as part of DPRK assets.

Same question always, theater?

It’s list of what the bomb damaged. It includes both BLUFOR and REDFOR assets. Well, it includes nearly everything.

Unable to investigate.
Where, when … what … No mission saves … ?I’ve checked all the DPKR rosters => no blue vehicle in DPRK rosters.

I can provide a campaign file from before the mission. However, I changed several mission parameters (loadout, bullseye, steerpoints, alt base) since then. What’s wrong about the ACMI?

Mission accomplished!

Sorry, will edit my post into a decent bug report.

…did you actually drop a GBU-54? Because what it sounds like is that you got an early burst. If you didn’t actually drop one, then something else is going on…

Yes

Check the Arm Time in your Weapons program - that’s how long it takes the fuse to actually arm after release; and is set to prevent just such. Make sure it is set for 5-10 sec or longer, depending on how high you are dropping from. If it turns out that it’s zero, that could be the problem.
I’ve seen this happen in RL Trainers before…

I never touched that value. Shouldn’t it be 6s by default?

Still, even if I got an early blast, a 500 lbs bomb shouldn’t damage objects far away. And this offers no explanation for why it took several seconds from that supposed hit before my plane actually got hit.

1. there is no such things as an early blast in BMS
2. even the real frag patterns of weapons are not implemented , so in the unlikely event that the OP got fragged by its own bomb, he should have been very close to the hit point
3. the huge number of hit from a single GBU-54 doesn’t make any sense to me. -

I should think it would be some multiple of 5, but I won’t swear to it…

lmao maybe the GUB-54 has been secretly upgraded to a small tactical nuke in 4.35?
