HOME Well, its a little something that annoys me, Its the fact that bombs fly so slow to the targets. From those explosion videos, the bombs almost came instantly, and I can hardly see the bombs. Its just a small thing I hope devs might fixed.

I find the gbu12 for example quite realistic although I am not an expert. Are you?
Nope. But I can always see the bomb drifting slowly towards the target.

Is this laser guided bombs?
Yes .... the laser targeting code causes bombs to almost *float* their way to target.
I thought bombs are only as fast as gravity allows? Even LGBs rely mainly on gravity, with a system to make adjustments to the downward glidepath. I wouldn't expect it to be lightning fast like a missile.
Bombs are released at the speed of the plane at time of dropping. Im not sure if the laser target system slows it down or takes over its normal gravity. If the plane dropping the LGB is too slow the bomb will likely fall short. If too fast the guided bomb may overshoot but not as likely.
I recently made a script to manually angle a dumb LGB to a target position on the way down and it seemed like aiming the bomb to the target too soon caused the undershot to happen. Letting the momentum carry the bomb straight for a time to get a steep enough angle to target and then start pointing at the ground worked better. I think close to 600+ is good high altitude dropping speed.
Yeah, mostly LGBs.Originally Posted by [APS]Gnat
Drop bombs from a hovering Harrier or F35 for even more comedy physics.
Documentation is not a dirty word.

I've heard that gravity in ArmA is somewhat less than it is in real life.

Lol you are so right about that. For example when i dropped a GBU from my A-10 at a car it flew up in the air and stayed up in the air for about 30 seconds in one spot lol.
