AB250 / AB500 release trigger / disperse pattern incorrect for high-altitude


xvii-Dietrich

Recommended Posts

The AB250 and AB500 w/SD10 cluster munitions have an incorrect dispense trajectory from high altitude. This is a separate issue to the Jabo attack dispersion pattern (reported separately). It may be related to the incorrect dispense release trigger or to the trajectory of the SD10 bombs themselves.

 

Regardless, the pattern when dropped from up to 6000m should be 90-160m long and 50-120m wide. In DCS, the width of the pattern is approximately correct.  However, the length is too short.

 

This results in a pattern that is wider than it is long (which is incorrect).

 

A screenshot has been attached which shows this effect. The FW 190 A8 was flying from west to east along the length of the runway. As can be see, the pattern of exploding SD10s is wide, but has nearly no longitudinal dispersion.

 

The track of that example is also attached.

 

 

Tested using version DCS 2.7.2.8165.2 Open Beta
