hopefully someone can find some videos which should be easy to get the unnerfed maybe its the height we drop them at put still 4 clusters only explode in the area of about 1 tank or maybe 100 Sq ft in game
From testing them i found if you want to kill tanks you need to drop them from high altitude so that the bomblets drop vertically on the roof, dropping them at low altitude causes the bombs to hit the front and side and get absorbed by tracks and side skirts. But they still are very underwhelming and you need to drop 4 or more at the same time to see any effect even on lightly armored targets
cant comment on others but BL755s are 200mm pen HEAT warheads
Does drop conditions actually have any impact?
I was under the impression that it literally changed nothing
As was I.

Im not really sure, just from repeatedly dropping them in the middle of the 4 tank group on the test drive from different angles i saw vertical drops actually did kill the T-72s sometimes while horizontal ones never did
Hmm… I’ll keep an eye out.
Apparently also deliberately missing and having the CBUs land to the side or short of the target works better than a “direct” hit
From what i tested, that’s one of effects from launching them near horizontally. CCRP is correct in a steep dive angle, but if they are launched near the ground the submunitions fall short of the target, you need to select a point ahead of the target to get hits.
There are also empty spaces in the area of effect, i find that you may need to launch 2 or 4 cluster bombs at the same time to make sure the overall explosion actually covers the whole dispersal area.
The only way I got anything done with them was bombing those howitzer sites in ARB. Even still they routinely missed most of the targets and often just gave a few “hits”, I would have been better off just using 2k dumb bombs.
