Has the IOG mechanism of the laser-guided bomb been changed?

,

Laser-guided bombs with IOG guidance have become very stupid since the last major update. If their guidance heads do not see the laser point or do not come into the receiving distance when the bomb is dropped, even if the target point is selected and the stabilizer of pod is turned on, then the IOG system will try to fly the bomb as far as possible instead of to the selected target point or the CCIP system’s calculated landing point, sometimes the bomb will even fly outside the border. This stupid mechanism also force the guided bomb to try to maintain a positive AOA in flight, which would cause the guiding head to point to the sky instead of searching for laser spots on the ground, thus rendering the laser guidance completely useless
I think this may be a bug, but it seems that all administrators have ignored my issue, for twice. So is it a bug or some new mechanism?

Yeah i kinda noticed this problem recently tried using CCIP and CCRP or both at distance around 12KM+ but seem it result missed the stationary target even with correct CCIP at high speed (before it able to hit even moving target)

It hasn’t seemed to affect me after I tipped my nose down before I dropped the bomb. Try that.

Yeah, sometimes it works, espectially for GBU24 & GB1000, but for GB250, it just help a little…it’s very hard to choose correct AOA when dropping bomb to ensure it can receive laser and also have enough hight to reach the target

I hope it is fixed in the upcoming patches

“not a bug”
