Is this a custom mission?

With cluster munitions confirmed now’s the time to make bug reports! (also here’s a British GR.1 with its JP233 Anti-Runway weapon

They have not even been tested yet (by the community), so what do you want to report?
As to the individual weapons, they have already been amply documented in suggestions, as far as I remember…

I’ll start by saying forum suggestions never seem to make it anywhere, the forums are just an echo chamber for the most part. It takes years for suggestions from the forums to make it to the live game, if ever. On the other hand, I have whipped up bug reports and had them be accepted in less than 24 hours and implemented within weeks or even days. I am suggesting that those who want their favored platforms to receive their respective submunition dispensers get a jump on things, as the bug reports will be flooded when the dev server opens up. Whether the public has tested the bombs or not doesn’t matter in this case, we wouldn’t be reporting technical issues, rather historical loadout additions to various platforms. ie; most people don’t want to grind for an F-15EX to get the opportunity to use cluster bombs, when platforms like the Harriers, Tornados, etc. which have been in the game for years, have the ability to carry them.

Already preparing to spam reports in fear of having to get through the spam? Prematurely reporting a feature that probably will not be added yet for all viable aircraft doesn’t help, it just makes the whole review process slower.
It is to be assumed that they will not implement it for all viable aircraft in one go, and they know who would be viable to get what. I don’t quite see how we as players profit from spamming reports.
Oh, and also, they so far only announced cluster bombs. Afaik nothing was mentioned about suspended submunitions dispensers like the MW-1 or JP.233…
Nowhere did I say people need to spam reports, not sure where you got that from. And you can’t even do that as multiples of one topic will be removed. Also submunition dispensers are cluster weapons. A cluster bomb is a bomb that is dropped and then opens to releases various smaller submunitions. An MW-1 or JP233 just dispenses said submunitions directly. Different delivery systems and use cases, but definitely the same weapon category.
And again, the alternative is crying here on the forums where nothing productive really ever comes to fruition. Look at the KH-38MT thread, one of the most popular threads in forum history and an open call to anyone who can prove it’s a real munition. Zero acknowledgement from the Snail and no one has been able to prove it’s a real munition to this day. Yet it’s still in the game and things like the Brimstone are gimped to uselessness.
Not explicitly, but you suggested everyone report the platform he wishes to see addressd - which all already have been amply suggested and discussed many times, since way before cluster weapons were confirmed.
In the end, those thus created duplicate, triplicate or whateveriplate reports all need up reviewing resources, for stuff that has already been reported, making the process slower. I think especially now, that makes no sense yet and is counter produtive.
I’m pretty sure, CBU’s are only introduced atm in very limited numbers, just as originally AGM’s only got in on an event aircraft (Fury), or later the first ASM coming on the MFG Tornado before being introducen on a broader scale.
Final note: I’m all for introducing all CBU’s that are viable, including also the suspended dispensers, of which MW-1 and JP.233, or the less well known SUU-14 that e.g. Skyraiders used in Vietnam, hoping that they come quickly for a wide range of aircraft. But y assumption would be that at forst they experiment with 1, 2 types of droppable CBU’s, introduce more types, and then tackle the suspended sispensers, as they while being similar still handle quite a bit differently…
I just fear this process will tike time, like with drop tanks, ASM’s, ARMs, ejection seats,…
