Bomb tossing breaks laser guided bombs

I cannot see if there is hidden extra info you submitted in your bug report, but did you include a link to your youtube video in your report already? If not I would definitely add the video link in a reply on your report too 👍

yea F-117 has this same bug …if you stay in targeting view the aircraft will rise up on its own accord if your really fast its not bad but if you spend a few extra seconds lifts up the nose like your pressing the free look button and voila your bomb wont track this happens with laser guided and GNSS targeting

It’s a Paveway II [and a couple more] specific issue. Other LGBUs are entirely unaffected.

Gaijin fix the bug

That’s probably b/c you have it set to auto leveling if I had to guess. I have it turned off so I maintained a 2.5* up angle with 1G load during the release.

yeah i’ve tried activate the laser designator last second after toss, so the seeker head align with the target hoping i’ll correct it self toward the laser, but that didn’t work as well

Same issue affects APKWS rockets pretty badly and its been like this for a pretty long time now too

Okay, so it wasn’t just me noticing that with APKWS. I thought I was maybe just using them wrong.

The bug is still there. I just encountered it during a test flight with the Su-24, and later in a mission in SB. The laser-guided bombs start to deviate chaotically from the target and end up missing. I was dropping the bombs from straight and level flight.

Also affects Q-5L LGB’s in level flight at altitude whether you stay in targeting pod view or not. Bomb should at least land near CCIP indicator but it’s far off mark. From bomb view you can see it wobbling wildly. Only reliable at low altitude close range (~3km).

Seems like it’s affecting all “lock on after release” munitions. I’ve got people reporting it with the laser guided rockets and LGBs from every nation.

Can someone explain to me why they don’t fix this?

Great question that we’re all waiting an answer for XD

@Smin1080p_WT @Stona_WT Sorry for the inconvenience, but most of our laser-guided weapons are broken here. It’s been more than a month (if not two). Could the developers take a look at this?

joking They probably aren’t gonna look at this b/c I called out the moderation team on going against Gaijin’s view on their TOS and I have screenshots to back it up.

Sad that we’re 2 weeks later and still nothing.

Many reports didn’t get fixed for years, even after being accepted 😂 Even 1 month would be absurdly fast 🤣

Apparently, they took someone elses report from 2 weeks ago and finally accepted it. Typical Gaijin/moderators. Love how I reported it two months ago and it’s still not accepted or even acknowledged.

I don’t know if you’ve found out, but the GB250s still work well thanks to their GNSS phase. Try using those! I honestly didn’t know what to think when I unlocked the GB500s and they just flopped around like that.

It’s an general issue, suspected commonality is the track rate of 10000 in the files for the specific GBUs that are affected.
