[FIXED] Eo/tv bombs not dropping

[LucasLB]

Hello, playing the strike tutorial #3 complex strike, my EO/TV guided bombs (500 and 1500) never launch although i m within the DB firing parameters. Manual fire tells me it s because target is off boresights limits. Read the forums, looks like a well known problem that got corrected by a recent beta patch. So i downloaded the latest beta patch (.38). Problem is still here, these bombs wont drop. Does anyone have the same problem or better a solution for it? Thx

Hi, Same problem for me.

I recorded a quick and dirty clip to show it. But can't post it here. Its on the steam forums though.

I think its a specific issue with the KAB-500 and 1500. I tried Maverick EO and GBU-15 EO and they all worked. Not sure if a datalink is needed or not in the load out.

[NinjaTrek2891]

It's actually even bound to the specific aircraft type.

I edited the scenario to use other A/C's capable except for the Flogger's to use the KAB 500/1500 TV/EO's... And they worked fine.

It is multiple aircraft. I subbed in several planes and none of them seemed to work with the KAB eo bombs. Laser loadouts work fine. Its just eo.

This has been resolved for the next update.

This bug is back in 1267.1

I tried your scenario. I think that the problem has to do with the weapon not being able to acquire the target itself. You can only "see" the contact because it is auto-detectable.

If you use a target like a large building of some sort, then the KABs will fire without issue.

It might have to do with auto detection, but something is not right. Here is another save from Northern fury, there is two groups of su-24 who is trying to attack but cant. If you look at why with shift+F1 the reason states that is because the target is out of boresight, not that the weapon has to acquire the target first.
The targets are auto detectable though, but I have played that mission in earlier versions and the su-24:s had no issue destroying the targets
