B52 - SLAM delivery
-
Hi all. And wow! Great work guys.
I apologise to those names I have forgotten (not that I expect anyone to remember me!) - but I hope everyone is well.
Just hopped back over to BMS on the news of this latest update. Very impressed!
I am just doing a series of test flights - AI Behaviour and the little quirks here and there to see what’s changed.
As I notice things I refer to the manual. One little interesting find which is not mentioned within the collection of docs is the B52 when they launch SLAMS (unless I missed it). They dive before launching - right down from 32,000ft to 4000 ish. They do this well within the range of the missile. Meaning, they could stay at height and fire.
However, the AGM-86 CALCM is delivered as one might hope - at 32,000ft - again, well within its range. (I had hoped they would fire much further back - avoiding the need to get so close)
Since these missiles are similar in nature (albeit the CALCM has a much greater range capability) I wondered if this was a bug?
I tested this with the conditions of the target being identical on each flight. (ie, same threat and target etc)
I noticed too that the B52 will suddenly turn like a fighter jet - rather than slowly and eloquently.
Just reporting in the hope to help.

Was that on KTO?
Look for data/sim/acdata/B-52G.dat and replace the following lines in weapons section:
A2GHarmAlt 32000 A2GHarmMinAlt 15000 A2GHarmMaxAlt 48000 A2GAGMAlt 30000 A2GAGMMinAlt 26000 A2GAGMMaxAlt 48000 A2GGBUAlt 30000 A2GGBUMinAlt 26000 A2GGBUMaxAlt 48000 A2GDumbHDAlt 15000 A2GDumbHDMinAlt 12000 A2GDumbHDMaxAlt 15000 A2GClusterAlt 14000 A2GClusterMinAlt 10000 A2GClusterMaxAlt 28000 A2GDumbLDAlt 18000 A2GDumbLDMinAlt 11000 A2GDumbLDMaxAlt 48000 A2GGunRocketAlt 10000 A2GGunRocketMinAlt 8000 A2GGunRocketMaxAlt 48000 A2GCameraAlt 30000 A2GCameraMinAlt 28000 A2GCameraMaxAlt 48000 A2GBombMissileAlt 30000 A2GBombMissileMinAlt 28000 A2GBombMissileMaxAlt 48000 A2GIAMBombAlt 32000 A2GIAMBombMinAlt 28000 A2GIAMBombMaxAlt 48000
(Make a backup of the file before)
Try and check if that works better…

Oh nice. OK. Couldn’t see SLAM in that list but will take a look. Thanks.
Yes. It was KTO

@cptmrcalm
SLAM is A2GAGMxxAlt … but yeah, original is/was kinda 5000ft …(that’s yours 4000-ish) … anyway too low for B52 CALCM/SLAM shot.
Those values @MaxWaldorf put should perform much better. -
