Can I ripple four GBU-27 while lasing?
-
Hey, guys!!! I’ve been trying to ripple four gbu27 and use the laser to guide them, but only one of them hit the target. Rp=4, 1ft and pair. Only one bomb is guided. The rest falls pointing toward the ground; like a bug or something.
Is it possible to guide more than one bomb with the laser?Korea KTO

Thank you in advance

I would think they’d all guide to the same spot …. wherever the laser is.
-
If you use a short interval the lead weapon could mask any trailing ones and cause them not to guide….need to use a long interval.
…but they will still all end up in the same hole.
-
The thing is i tried all kinds of configs regarding interval, pairs, singles, and the same thing happens: only one hits the target… Anyways, thank you!

I have heard this is known bug, no pilot error.

No real point in fixing something that would never be done IRL. GBUs (laser guided) are always dropped one by one.

Another reason why this shouldn’t work is because the laser energy would scatter off of the dust/smoke created by the first impact/detonation…in which case I would also expect the trailers to miss. In some sort of non-predictable manner.

… This is indeed the first and main reason.

Thank you!! Always good to learn something new!

Yes, but I’m still curious to know how it got broken since 4.33

May as well have a scripted flight model as IRL, no pilot would intentionally enter a spin…

I believe if this was the reason, dropping 2 LGBs with 2 ripples instead of both in Pair with a single ripple should not work, yet they do - even though the timing between impacts should be minimal to really make a difference, especially with a single ripple release instead of two ripples.
@Dee-Jay
Any idea why it’s not done with a single ripple in real life, but two single ripples work?Only reason I could think about if releasing 2 bombs in a single pair ripple - more likely than masking since the bombs are flying side by side, not trailing until very close to the target - would be a mid air collision between the bombs.

I don’t understand what you want to do here guys.
Whats the point of dropping two GBUs (equiped with high expensive guidance kit) on a same DMPI taking the risk of masking the laser spot, having laser trap … etc … It just makes no sens. Ripples are for unguided bome because “mass effect” compensate the lack of accuracy. But with a bomb able to hit with 1-10m precision, this is not needed and counter productive.
If two GUB12 are not suitable for the target, a 24 will be … And if 24 is not alright then 28 can make it … Etc …

No pilot would unintentionally successfully hit a tgt with two GBUs.

Don’t do this. Thing should act like the thing. That is simulation. “Is it a good idea?” is not part of simulation.
Bug.
Real behavior is superior.
Bug is low priority.That’s it. Telling us that we should be happy for bug is an insult. Please do not insult users. It is clear that it is a thin defense of a bug without real logic.

Not to say but man 2 real fighter pilots have answered you and u think u r right and they insult u.

Please let me be clear Deejay- I’m not saying people should be dropping multiple LGBs on the same target simultaneously. I’m saying they should have tactical reasons for not doing so, rather than because it’s bugged and doesn’t work.
One of those scenarios is a DCS one, one is a Benchmark Simulation one…

Ok … So I am insulting you guys because I think that spending (read “wasting”) time and rare ressources in trying to fix something that I do (personaly) consider irrelevant in favor of spending time on other things more critical or valuable? This is an insult then? Oky, I see.
I would personaly tend to think that working of laser traps could be more valuable than fixing something completely unlikely to happens IRL would be a better idea. IMO, if we want to do it right, we should not specifically “fix” this issue , but rather implement laser traps. (hense, GBU ripples won’t work either in any of your “tactical” scenarios) This is indeed my logic. But it seems to be a bad one.
So I won’t bother participating to any of futher discussions.
Play with the crap we are giving you or don’t. Personaly I am happy with it and anyway, the guy who can take care about that bug is not me.
Sorry for the “insult” and have a good time.
Cheers.
