Hey, gaijin I need you too buff the spicebombs (make it better), down below is link to a video that shows why do I have that opinion. Even though it is test flight its same for me in real ARB beattles

Just remove the delay fuse…

Spicebombs are as far as i know aviable on all AESA EFTs not just german one
Try to set the fuze to impact.
I mean, thats your own fault when you take such a long fuze that the Bombs have enough time to bounce away from your target
Even if I set the fuse to zero results are the same
*Drop spice bomb
*Direct impact and immediate explosion
*Successfully destroyed T-80BVM…'s one ERA and track
Most powerful NATO CAS munition btw

Id say my biggest complaint about them. Especially within the context of ARB, is that you have to drop your speed down to below mach 1.0 to use them, for an aircraft where you want to be at Mach 1.5+ most of the time so that your A2A weapons are actually semi-good… It just renders them basically pointless to ever carry imo.
I just stick with PW4s if I want to do any multiroling because they ahve a mach 1.5 drop limit.
can you explain this then, those spice bombs are bad
I havent used the Spice-250s much given they a worthless in Air modes, so jumped into a test flight to see what the issue might be.
If I were to hazard a guess, it is either a too long of a delay on the fuse (set to 0 or assault fuse so that they explode on impact and dont bounce) or that you are actually missing the target slightly, and actually aiming next to the target, you didnt see to be 100% accurate on your placement (which is why I much prefer the tpod sight for these kinds of weapons even though its not strictly needed, given the attack profile, even just the PIRATE FLIR would do)
Case in point. 5 fired, 5 kills and a perfect example of why I dislike them being the mach limit.
Even if I use the tpod, results are same for me, no matter what I do, I can barely get one kill if I drop everything
using tpod fuse is set to zero
But giving us accurate Brimstones are too OP (just ignore Kh-38s)

I have no idea, they always seem reasonably reliable for me, at least as reliable as any small calibre bomb.
Maybe dont attack with such extreme angle of attack? Come in at more like a 60-70° angle instead of near vertical?
even if it is 70 degree angel of an attack, more or so is the same result for me
I think you misinterpret what I was trying to say
