@PhilFYW:
Recently, I have been trying out the BMS training sessions when I noticed about this remark about the use of SPICE bombs:
I’m rather confused about this since I-Hawk have mentioned in previous threads that each bomb do have its own small 1NM by 1NM bubble. Considering that the blast of SPICE bombs (and other handoff weaponry) are pretty small, what are the possible issues with deploying SPICE and similar weapons outside the bubble range?
It would be good to have specific information to decide the tactics on, considering that loitering in the enemy airspace is quite a dangerous affair. Thanks for any response in advance!
You can turn around after firing. That warning was probably written when the “global distance from player” for a bubble to exist was ~67NM, now it’s much more than that and ~160NM. So unless you fire some weapon from REALLY long range and turn right away, there is hardly a chance you will make it loose the bubble. For SPICE and probably 99% of weapons in DB you will be fine.
