I have researched the fa18c late mostly for the LJDAM instead of the f15e, thinking the ability to choose whether to laser guide each bomb or to quickly drop all relying on gnss and iog, and to be able to still get some kills after death, especially on the pantsirs since countering them is kinda hard and the braindead players using it usually don’t move. However, for me in test drive it just seems to fall like a rock without laser and not even hitting stationary targets. Only once has it worked, but I’m not sure whether it just got on correct course then the laser was disabled and it was still flying in the correct direction or it actually used IOG. Just feels like a gbu 12 most of the time
Do you have “Enable laser designator before launch” turned off?
No, I used to turn it off though in test for it to just use gnss and iog for guidance instead of laser
Having it on and then quickly turning the laser off after dropping the bomb to use the GNSS, can cause issues from memory.
What works fine for me is to have the setting off, and then turning the laser on/off manually as needed, with the keybind.
Drop without laser, and only lase when the bomb is close to hitting the target. For the the bomb to actually reach the gps point you need to have sufficient speed and altitude, also “tossing” the bomb will give it more energy. So go up to mach 0.9, quickly pitch up and release the bomb, best above 5000m and it will easily reach 10km+
Oh okay thanks, didn’t know that could cause issues
