Hi friends,

It seems like there are several variants of the GB250 (GB3) guided bomb, and each version seems to have different appearances, guidance methods, etc., especially the two different versions of GB250.

“GB250”

If anyone could help me understand the different variants and ensure that the in-game variants are correctly modeled, that would be greatly appreciated!

Noticed this, ain’t that a J-8? With LS6?

Yea it’s known that J-8’s like the 8H/F can have 1 LS-6

But it doesn’t have the pods to aim it with.

ingame and in real life you dont need a TGP to drop a (gps) guided bomb

we already have planes with GPS bombs that don’t like belgian f16a

you can set a target point manually in minimap or with a bind

Yeah I get that but i would consider it more convenient to use a pod.



The 1000kg version of the LS-6 is missing and the IR versions

The game has the IR version LS6, but lacks the turbojet version

I meant in terms of size, like one that’s 500 and one that’s 1000.

I didn’t see none turbojet ones, so IDK if they even exist necessarily.

i think its some sort of export bomb, probably not the same one but here you can see Myanmar Airforce with LY-502 thermobaric bomb. Theres too many of them and pics are blurry to identify
