Does anyone else besides me use the glide BOMBA on the Su-24M? And how can I ensure my teammates know what base I send my gliders to?
You can mark it on the map by pressing M and clicking on an area, or just use the chat

I use them when I get a destroy AI ground targets daily task

Oky.
Alright thanks.
Sometimes.
I would never bother using them vs bases, the bases will be gone before they hit, especially in ARB. But they are good vs AI targets if you are running a bit of a multirole payload as you can drop them before needing to worry about enemy players. That being said, on something like the Typhoon, PW4s are just way easier because they have a higher drop speed.
Looking at your example of the Su-24. Id avoid climbing personally, and as a result, glide bombs arent worth it. Better off running napalm for dealing with bases.
In ASB, where SEAD is more of a thing, then they get a lot of value.

I use them against bases. I usually do back right base.
What is SEAD?
Surprised, I rarely get bases at and around that BR flying flat out to drop high-drag bombs

Basically taking out SPAAs and stuff, like around the AFs. Hopefully in the future we’ll see extra SAMs and things scattered about

Damn bro I feel bad for you. I wish I could give you some of my bomber luck. I just got supersonic speed and do maybe a 15° climb and just run. Then at maybe 6000M or higher and within 30KM of the base I drop and run back to base as they take up the wing hard points for missiles.
Thats really cool. Thanks for explaining it to me.

Its just the compression and napalm spamming Premiums.
In the GR4 I can always get a base, but in the Jag GR1A/Tonka GR1 its not as consistant

Jaguar Gr.1A… man I love using the CR247s on that. I love rocket ground pounding man. I bought the T.10 for fun. I usually use it as a fighter but still, sometimes I take bombs for a bombing game. Sometimes it works :D
Like all ground attackers, Its awesome in ASB, but can rarely be used as a ground attacker in ARB.

That’s true. But you don’t get the sweet sweet howitzers in sim. You have to dodge through AA fire which is extremely annoying and the AA IS REALLY GOOD Half of the time.
Yeah it is, which is a real shame, though a volley of AGM-65s deal with that though

Okay but the Jaguar Doesnt get them…
No, but it gets Mk13 GBUs. Or i’ll start with a volley of AJ168s from the Buc S2B and swap aircraft

How are you such a good player? I don’t get it. My stats are and and you… you have such good stats. I looked at stat shark and I just depressed myself. You’re in green in all of them.
