Same problem here, and I had the same results with 4.32. I tried the mission with 2 GBU-10 in 4.33 and with 4 GBU-12 or 6 retarded Mk-82 in 4.32, and after my strike I told my wingman to attack the remaining ground targets. Everytime we destroyed at least 7-8 targets but the mission is always a failure (but, at least, my rating is “Average”).

RE: Munitions Handbook
At this point I see no alternatives execpt making by myself a table with the basic specs of every bomb model. The problem is the source. Let’s say that for LGBs I need the following informations: model’s name, weight of the warhead and its type (general purpose/penetration); for the CBUs I need: model’s name and submunition type. Do you think that those information, if taken from TacRef 2.0, are still valid for BMS 4.33?

RE: Munitions Handbook
Ok, but assuming that BMS devs aren’t pilots, ground crew, aeronautical or weapon engineers, for them WHAT is the reality?
This: www.wikipedia.com
This: www.f-16.net
This: fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/index.html
…or something else?
I agree that there must be some reference, but if they don’t provide a specific documentation for the ordnance (like the manuals they have done for avionics, procedures, navigation, etc) they should at least share with us the references they used. -
RE: Munitions Handbook
Ehm… thanks but I already know f-16.net and Wikipedia.
Ok, let’s try to come to a conclusion:1- can I assume that a (single) document containing a comprehensive and updated version of the ordnance database simply doesn’t exist (for now)?
2- is there something like a list of “trusted” sites or online references (like Wikipedia itself) so that if I don’t know the specs of a certain weapon I can go there, and know that what I read is what I find in BMS?

RE: Munitions Handbook
You chart is partially useful, but the -34 pdf is not. Or at least, I can’t find in that document the differences between the various GBU or CBU versions.

RE: Munitions Handbook
Absolutely. But I found that it doesn’t show adequately the specs of all the weapon versions (it doesn’t even say if a certain weapon is usable by an F-16). And I think it’s a bit strange that, with all those manuals, charts, checklists an so on, one can’t have a simple paper reference usable in flight.

RE: Munitions Handbook
Darkman answered me in the Documentation section (sorry for the duplicate but I got no answers here and I thought I sent the post in the wrong section) that “all documentation valid (and validated) for BMS 4.33 was included in the installation”. So, can someone indicate me where in this documentation can I find the complete ordnance description for the F-16?
Thanks. -
Munitions handbook
Greetings,
I wish to know if the “Falcon 4 TacRef” handbook is still valid for BMS 4.33 or it needs to be updated. Also, I noticed that there’s at least one error in the weapons names: the GBU-10I/B is named in the Loadout screen as GBU-10G/B (or, at least, I presume it’s the same bomb…). Do you know if there are other errors one have to be aware of?
Thanks. -

RE: Changing weapon station in A-G
Thank you for the immediate answer!
One last thing (sorry if I don’t open a new thread…): is there a document, a manual section, a chart, where I can find the list and the specs of all the F-16 ordnance? I’m a bit confused with all the A-G weapons and versions (especially CBUs and LGBs).
