Burst altitude effect ?
-
is there a burst altitude effect with CBU in BMS?
I tested CBU97s and I didn’t see any change about area damage sizestrikethrough text -
@suhkoi69 Yes! BA has effect on damage area. Try some BA configurations with Rockeye and other CBUs, because the CBU-97 SFW uses a smart submunition that directs it to enemy armor.

@VDK Each CBU-97/B can cover an area of about 500 feet by 1,200 feet, but I feel it is lower in BMS
in any case ,I read that the hockey puckshaped projectiles of submunition are always ejected at about 100 feet above ground level regardless of the release altitude of BLU-108/B submunitions. The area covered in both scenarios (low-altitude and high-altitude attack profile) is similar (500 feet X 1,200 feet )
