Mk82 not exploding sometimes?

[Xtacy]

Hey All,

I have an issue with bombs not exploding sometimes. I have an sa6 TE created in the ITO theater. I can drop a bomb on the radar from 23,000 ft, avoid missiles and then go to mop up the rest but the bombs aren’t exploding. tacview says im hitting them, mission briefing does not so I’m quite confused. ACMI available http://kev.vapour.ca/acmi/bombissue.vhs if anyone has a few minutes to help me out that would be fantastic.

note, slight over-g during missile avoidance but no MAL on bomb release…hoping that is not the issue.

Thanks!

Over G can indeed damage the fuze and cause the bomb to not explode. With a dumb bomb like the Mk 82 you have no way of knowing this in the cockpit.

In BMS the probability of fuze damage increases the more you exceed the G limit of the aircraft in the LOADOUT screen.

Thanks Darkman, I’ll try and keep G under 5.5 (and not die) and see if bombs will work!

yup guessing it was G related. Same loadout, came in low, tossed first bomb at radar and rolled back to the weeds all under 5G and remaining bombs all exploded on their targets. Thanks again!
