Burst altitude

[Daisan]

Me ha parecido muy interesante

I spent a few hours of testing munitions in a controlled environment. Target is 100 M1A1's in column. CCIP on a single tank and judge each weapon's effectiveness using TACVIEW and debriefing kills.

 

Mk-20 Rockeye

BA-500 - 150ft area/~50% destroyed

BA-1000 - 150ft area/~50% destroyed

BA-2000 - 200ft area/~50% destroyed

BA-3000 - 300ft area/~50% destroyed

BA-3000 Pair - 300ft area/~95% destroyed

 

CBU-87 Combined Effects Munition(CEM)

BA-500 - 200ft area/~15% destroyed

BA-1000 - 200ft area/~15% destroyed

BA-2000 - 523ft area/~15% destroyed

BA-3000 - 531ft area/~15% destroyed

BA-3000 Pair - 531ft area/100% destroyed

 

CBU-97 Sensor Fused Weapon(SFW)

BA-500 - 130ft area/~75% destroyed

BA-1000 - 300ft area/~75% destroyed

BA-2000 - 300ft area/~75% destroyed

BA-3000 - 300ft area/~75% destroyed

BA-3000 Pair - 300ft area/100% destroyed

 

Mk-84 Low Drag General Purpose(LDGP)

Single - 300ft area 100% destroyed/550ft area ~60% destroyed/Damaged only zone 301ft-550ft

Pair - 300ft area 100% destroyed/550ft area ~60% destroyed/Damaged only zone 301ft-550ft

 

Mk-82 Low Drag General Purpose(LDGP)

Single - 50ft area 75% destroyed/300ft area ~25% destroyed/Damaged only zone 51ft-300ft

Pair - 300ft area ~100% destroyed

 

JSOW (Joint Standoff Weapon)

BA700 Single - 800ft area/~16% destroyed

BA700 Pair - 800ft area/~50% destroyed

BA1500 Single - 800ft area/~16% destroyed

BA1500 Pair - 800ft area/~50% destroyed

BA2500 Single - 800ft area/~16% destroyed

BA2500 Pair - 800ft area/~50% destroyed

General conclusions:

CBU-97 BA is somewhat irrelevant, probably single drop for best bang for buck

Mk. 20 BA is somewhat irrelevant, but pair drop for best effectiveness

Pair drop all other clusters at 3,000'

Pair drop Mk-82s for wider destruction footprint

Single drop Mk-84s, do not pair drop them

The largest conclusion vs M1A1s is that burst altitude does not change destruction percent, no matter the CBU. There is no reason to use any BA other than 3000.

The strangest bit of information is the 87CEMs destruction rate of 15%, but pair dropped is 100%.

Also take note of the JSOWs lack of kill power vs M1A1 groups. Even when releasing two at the same position it's only 50%, but the area is huge!

La burst altitude era de radioaltimetro en bms o de baro altímetro?

Creo que cambió en alguna versión.


Y otra cosa, yo creo que lo de la CEM se debe a que no tiene suficiente poder en la DB y se necesitan 2, (1 pair) para matarlos.

4.33 radioaltímetro. De todas formas se recomienda usar siempre 3000 ft y soltarlas en pair.

Tomo nota...

En la realidad no se como es, y no tengo a quien preguntarlo porque esas bombas de racimo deben de ser el demonio
