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

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.

27 of october, this bug is still here

A report has finally been accepted:

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

and I think a commonality between affected bombs has been determined, but still no fix. Dozens of weapons out of action due to the same bug, should have been a higher priority than this

Great news, I didn’t suffer this on big bombs in A6 or in f15e, but in Russian planes such su24 only his 1 every 5 launches, either perfectly leveled, or on small dive.

Also, at several altitudes still missing the target

GBU-12s on the F-117 are still broken. Makes the stock grind nigh-on impossible. You have to fly it with the 500lb dumb bombs like an attacker.

Yeah, I would not attempt that stock grind anytime soon.

Just drop them at a distance of less than 3 km and they will fly to the target.

just don’t drop them at all and their efficiency will be 100% -_-

Wow we’ve made it another major update where LGBs are still broken.

Absolutely incredible, buy another $80 premium everyone!
