F-111 Nerf wont let you play the sim on some maps

This is because we don’t have any sight adjustment in War Thunder.

I don’t understand this…

Image of What the hell am I looking at?

33

Basically any Phantom

34

F-105 too.

35

There is a great video source of old US aircraft. PeriscopeFilm on YouTube.

36

This is an issue with more aircraft than just the F-111. Lots of aircraft have unusable or broken HUD. Some aircraft even have the wrong HUD’s and even those are broken and missing features. Reports about these have been made for a long time and yet we rarely see any improvements to them.

37

I know. I fight for it on my side as much as I can.

38

Is it fixed yet? Because i think i found a new problem that CCRP on F-111F didnt let me drop a bomb but this happen didnt show when test drive

39

AFAIK no.

What map was that? And are you sure it’s F-111 specific? There are known/reported issues with some maps…

40

I will try with another aircraft today, but yesterday i try with F-111F equip with 24 750 lb M117 cone 45 bomb and 1 Pave Tack targeting pod for increase accuracy when its reach target the bomb wont release.
Map that i play i play on Maginot Line.

41

Hm, strange…

I assume you’re not too fast for bomb release, no?

As I mentioned, some maps have issues with the elevation of the base not matching the elevation of the CCRP point, so the bombs do not release. This I observe exclusively with bases at high altitudes, so Afghanistan ad north of the Vietnam map.

However, this only is an issue if you “toggle” through targets, but if you adjust / fine aim the target point using a targeting pod, or when you designate the target manually on the map, or using the sight, that issue isn’t there.

42

I think no, it around 600-700 km/hr at 7000m

I aim and designate by my self and it work well in test drive room, for more evidence i gather it more today.

43

Ok, strange. Guess I’ll try it out also tonight. So far never had issues with the F-111 and exactly the method you describe, but haven’t flown any F-111 in a while, admittedly…

44

The altitude might be the problem. I have reported that issue few times but tech mod couldn’t reprodukcje the problem.

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/HfpPQs1Qhvxj

Anyway as I know, the problem might be with maps like Vietnam, Afghanistan, and sometimes Sinai. When you at 5000 meters then should be OK, but you have to choose map with low altitude airfields.

45

Every time I bring up the bug report topic, it gets closed. I’ve written directly to the technical moderator a few times and have gotten a response and even help a few times. But then no response to subsequent requests to review the report.

Sometimes I get the impression that there aren’t enough moderators who deal with bugs in air simulations. Or maybe they don’t even want to deal with some reports, the ones about bombing?

46

I try it at 7000m and ccrp won’t work, I test on Maginot line

47

See also CCRP: Vertical aiming point offset of mission targets/bases // Gaijin.net // Issues

This report was forwarded.

However, if you use any other method to select/mark a target, other than “switch mission target”, it works perfectly well!

The methods I use successfully regularly even in Afghanistan are:

  • Mark point on map (new feature)
  • Adjust aimpoint using TGP
  • Mark point using sight
48

But i use that 3 method and ccrp still lock

49

Try 5000 meters on the same map.

50

ok
