F-15 Eagle: History, Performance & Discussion

where did you get the 10kg number°?

where exactly?

thats just the weight for the warhead, tnt equivalent is likely higher, besides it kinda goes against most public data on the warhead itself, regardless even if we take a explsive equivalent around 20kgs it should be enough to kill anything in the game with a direct hit

Weight of explosive filling. PBXN-109 is explosive. Now i’m too lazy to find any munition in game with this explosive.

RE is 1.28

10.36*1.28 is 13.26

what is that 12/13 kgs for the gbu53 in this case?

yeah im still not to keen on that number tbh, that doesnt seem to coincide with any piece of public info on the weapon.

We don’t have any other info about explosive filling.
Maybe some GD-OTS presentation…

does the gbu-53 Multipurpose warhead include a shaped charge? a few months ago i think i read it did.

Yes

that changes quite a bit, even in the worst case scenario it would hit like slightly stronger hellfire.

Well. If gaijin will give it 170+ warhead preset - yes.

Isn’t it AFX-757 for the SDB II?

No, I don’t think. It’s for GBU-39 series.

There is no reason to use AFX-757 when you make “anti-tank” bomb

The Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) II, also known as the Guided Bomb Unit (GBU) 53/B, is the United States (US) Air Force’s newest standoff weapon to use miniature munition technology in combination with an all-weather guidance seeker designed to support a land offensive. The SDB II uses the US Air Force’s new explosive material, Air Force Explosive 757 (AFX-757), in combination with target recognition software giving aircraft the capability to strike moving targets in all-weather conditions with up to four times more weapons per aircraft.”
