    @ericx777 Год назад +161

    Based on my knowledge and experience with the GBU-10 Paveway II(I was a LRS/D operatore with some FAC experience), if it hits the ground, it craters and takes everything out in a 50-75m radius from impact. However, if it hits something above ground, it not only evaporates that but acts like an air-burst munition, spreading the blast more outward for a much greater distance. If the DCS model is accurate, you hit the MIG-31 directly and the blast went off at 15-20ft above ground and went outward with a greater effect than if it hit the tarmac and cratered out.

    What I noticed was that the bomb came in parallel to the line of planes and at a rather shallow angle so when it hit the ground and exploded part of the blast got shot backward off the crater while the rest of the shrapnel and such got carried forward by the momentum of the bombs' lateral velocity.

Consider get with DCS tech support to see if there is something in your settings/PC that DCS does not like. They will be happy to help you out. You are their biggest draw!

    My thoughts on the 2000 pounder and the amount of damage it did around those Mig31s… Since they were being refueled there was probably all sorts of gas vapor in the air so when that bomb exploded it just ignited all that vapor and everything around there went up with it

      Really depends on the fuzing delay of the weapon also. Instantaneous will put more above ground frag out to do fun stuff. 10ms delay makes nice craters, but attenuates the blast to a more vertical frag pattern. I am really impressed with DCS. Fun videos. Keep them coming!

    The chain of explosions was likely modeling of secondary effects. Fortunately, for legal purposes, the PIC is only responsible for CDE concerning primary weapons effects. Not the pilots problem if a couple fully loaded fuel trucks are in the blast radius of the released ordinance.

    • @termitreter6545
      @termitreter6545 Год назад

      Mind those Mig-21s were modded. And I dont wanna hate on mods, but they tend to be kinda rough and usually overperforming by a ton (national pride, hyping of weapons, lack of documentation, etc). Happens on either side, but some russian tech especially, eg the SU-57 is pure magic. (F22 stealth also makes no sense tbf)
      Imo why official modules or more conservative mods (A4, to some degree F-4C/104) tend to be more interesting. Its just closer to reality.

      His flight lead dropped his entire jet... Good job it's a virtual city 😉

    He is a stratospheric flying Hunter. Proud of its grandfather, Ye-155MP. And now their grandchildren are coming.🤣
