Laser bombs haven't been working properly for a month now

Yeah. Ive been having this loads as well.

The issue seems to be the CCIP point is completely wrong when dropped from alt, resulting in the GBU falling well short of the target and thus doesnt capture the laser.

Actually just had a 4k bomb from a Canberra land miles from where I aimed it using the bomb sight. Something seems really broken

Do you also have a problem of the mk.13 lgb going in a strange guidance pattern? Because whenever I try to lob the mk.13 lgb, it will get a lock, but instead of guiding to the target it will just start doing a corkscrew maneuver

No comment :P

I havent seen that, (though might have missed it) instead it just feels like the bomb is actually falling into the CCIP area when dropped from higher up and so, is no where near the laser and isnt seeing the laser. Though even if it could see it, I doubt it could correct enough to get onto the target.

I’ll record a video and send it when I get home, it is probably the most annoying thing ever

But yeah, Im not a good ground player, but I play enough mud movers that Im practically the expert on it. Not being able to hit a static target with a GBU has been infuriating. laser a target, waiting for the impact and nothing, not even an explosion has been driving me kinda crazy

I just use IR mavericks or dumb bombs with the mk1 eyeball targeting pod because at least they get close to the target

Even dumb bombs. Had a perfect drop for an unguided bomb with CCRP and it landed miles away. I think something might be funementally broken with bombs at the moment when alt is involved

I have never managed to get CCRP to work, im using ballistic computer or scraping my plane on their turret as i drop the bomb

Preexisting thread about the same issue! They also have their own bug report, if everyone wants to click on that one too 🙂

I have had this issue also for around a month or so but I’ll also add that skippers seem to be doing the same since the update (Tusk force), on longer ranger level flight shots they oscillate badly and just ‘loose’ the laser now, was not experiencing this behaviour before. Same as the laser guided GBU’s almost make them unusable unless you go in close and in a dive, which defeats the point.

I didn’t know Skippers suffered from this too. It amazes me how the snail managed to destroy so many laser bombs without even changing anything about them.

I noticed the problem even before the patch, Russian and French LGBs are broken too.

Its odd. On my a6e, the smaller gbus are fine but the large ones dont work.

It looks almost like it is trying to lead the target with the assumption the target is going very fast.
