Mission planning, how to decide on dive angle for dumb bombs?
-
A deep angle wil not help, if there is no threat, the best otion in my opinion is a straight bombrun ccip, just make sure aim well in order to hit the target, other option is ccrp usign the ground radar to lock the target, but if cant lock the exact target on radar you may use the sniper pod to lock with ir sensor, my sugestion for ground units on an open field is to lineup with the colum and make a fast low alt atack using CBU in row, fly straight and low until clear the guns range then and break left or right and take altitud. is there is a hornet nest of ground units is better not to risk and use AGM64 for a distant atack.
Unless it is for a moving target, best practice is to not go TMS up on the radar return for CCRP. Even if you have put the cursors over the desired spot on the radar picture, by going TMS up you will make the FCR lock on the strongest return and it may not be where you placed your cursors, all you will have is diamond symbol on your FCR. If for example you try to bomb a bridge by using ccrp and the radar picture, just place your cursors over the desired impact point, don’t go TMS up.

well yes in most of the cases is a good method just to line up the impact point with the target, desert scenaries can mess up with the sensosr if the sensors cant detect the ground or the target ccrp wont drop it happens on isreale scenario only in open desert.
