Su-34 can't drop bombs sometimes

Sometimes when I’m using the Su-34 I go to drop my bombs and it will not let me. I’m not going to fast, and I have weapon selection off but it will not let me drop my bombs. It’s not very consistent either, sometimes I can, sometime I can’t it seems to be on a match to match basis.

Did you put a target point/sight stabilisation (like then you lock target with targeting pod) by any chance?

these are dumb bombs why would the targeting pod affect them?

It puts the bomb computer into “Continuously Computed Release Point” mode, in which case the bombs only release when flying over the “Sensor Point of Interest” while holding down the drop button.

I sometimes forget to clear the lock when trying to drop bombs and get caught out by it.

The only time I’m locking something is with the radar which for some stupid reason locks the targeting pod and I can’t clear the lock for some reason after that
