Recommended Bombing Mode for Snakeyes?

Guys,

what´s the recommended bombing-mode for Snakeyes? Did some bombing in Automode, but the bombsfall extremely short... I reckon it should be CCIP, is that correct?

Retarded bombs and cluster bombs seem kind of wonky compared to regular bombs currently. As always, I'm not sure which issues are bugs or features. For example, I just tried out MK82s and MK82 snakeyes with some odd results:

 

Regular MK82 hits with laser-like precision in CCIP (like, I'm talking bombing 6 vehicle targets in a row from 10,000ft in a single pass), but MK82 snakeye always misses, even if it's set to FF.

 

Regular MK82 CCIP pipper always shows accurately despite having an uncalibrated altimeter. With MK82 snakeye, an uncalibrated altimeter will cause the CCIP to be in an incorrect place (even above your aircraft, if your altitude is reading negative).

 

Switching to radar altimeter changes the retarded bombs behavior, but it still always misses. Again, this is with FF or DRAG selected.

 

FF and DRAG both show the exact same CCIP spot. The computer doesn't adjust for the increased drag at all.

 

Best guess is that they are a work in progress. Which is weird, because you'd assume the ballistic calc of retarded bombs would be exactly the same as a regular one (just with a higher drag coef).

 

edit: latest stable version

I use CCIP with these. Level flight, 450-500 KIAS at 500 feet AGL on radar altimeter. I hit targets just fine.
