pretty sure ur not allowed to bug report using datamines :(
Explosive filler etc are usually displayed on statcards for that reason.
I see. I always forget it isnt just telling u the TNT yield…thanks
Gaijin what have u done with my bomb😓
It constantly misses, does no damage, or just goes straight through tanks.
And it shouldn’t have 10kg explosive mass like WHAT? It should have around 48kg

Why does the GBU-53 constantly overshoot my relocked point with MITL?

This is the source used by wikipedia for the warhead weight and type

“The StormBreaker measures at 69 inches long, 6-7 inches in diameter, weighs 204 pounds and carries a 105 pound warhead.”
Seems to fit the design
Warhead weight doesn’t mean net explosive fill, literally taken from the article you linked: “About 105 pound of the SDB II is an explosive warhead”.
Warhead ≠ NEF
Well the odd thing is that the warhead has around as much explosive as the Hellfire, while weighing as much as the entire Hellfire, so unless it has some sort of thick tungsten fragmentation sleeve, i dont buy the explosive mass to weight ratio… (i just wanna know where they even got the explosive mass and type info from)
It has a fragmentation sleeve, it’s scored frag case, copper shape charge.
Link to the report: [DEV] GBU-53 Incorrect Explosive fill and mass
Cause its stupidly bugged rn.
constantly phasing through tanks, doing no damage, or just straight up missing tanks that are on the move, I’ve tested the bomb with an friend and ingame experience also prove this.
And you can’t slave the bomb to hmd, so no looking around with the bomb, meaning that you need to point the plane straight at the thing you want to kill for your bomb to actually get a lock (which it can’t even get sometimes anyways)
Last thing is that its not possible to unlock locked targets, meaning that if u lock the ground you are forced to drop the bomb before you can re lock again.
Am i using them wrong or they only give hits?
They don’t do anything. So far dropped like 60 of them total and haven’t got any kill. AGM-65 Mavericks work way better, but are still mediocre. GBU-53 is a waste of time at this moment.
For some reason every NATO AGM that feature a HEAT warhead is dogshit. Mainly because they don’t hit the center of mass and don’t cause overpressure, even with high explosive mass.
I highly recommend to delete any loadout including them for the time being, but it being a NATO weapon… I don’t see any fix coming soon.
