Omgoodness this worked really well in the F-4E. I dropped the mils to 50 and came at the targets around 400-450 and 3500' and got a hit.

The active pause idea is excellent!
-
Dear Sir, many thanks for your honest and very well presented video. Much appreciated! Thank you for your passion and support. Kind regards Nick
-
04:20 "The way you fly is repeatable..." This video is repeatable! Thank you, very well done, sir!
-
I had no idea you can "active pause" the sim and use it to determine impact! GENIUS!
-
What you said at the end reminds me of a quote from finance blogger Mr Money Mustache: "to achieve greatness you must first admit that you suck" 😂 That is a golden tip on sight zeroing your sight with active pause!
-
Thank you very much for this series, I will practise it right away!
-
This was a brilliant exposition, thank you.

04:20 "The way you fly is repeatable..." That is a theory I am stil trying to prove :) I think we are all guilty of blaming the devs at some point for our failures and occasionally we are even right. The active pause is a great technique and I am glad you are showcasing it as it is a super useful check. I also like to use the "aim off" method rather than trying to release at a specific height but that a whole other video. In the end, unguided munitions with fixed sights is notoriously difficult that even the pro's can mess up. Moving on from the range to live targets shooting back at you takes it to another level as well. That is what makes trying to hit targets with the F5 using unguided bombs so much fun and challenging.

Love this, this is someone who really knows!

Great video, thanks for sharing!
-
Good stuff. Thanks.

You have to use f-5 mission planning, calculating the AOA and apply those values on mil dep tbl from weapon deliver, those values on mil dep tbl DOES NOT sit on mil dep sight directly IRL, hence if u does calculate correctly it will work on DCS, there is a good thread on forum regarding weapon delivery mil sight calc

Well made video

I can confirm this behavior. Before Christmas (2021) I started to prepare a video about the bombing with the L-39 where I started with the 20° dive. At February I came back to video making, I realized that all the tables I made (even for wind corrections) are useless and e.g. the 20° dive is not even worth to try, because even very small deviation (+-0,1G , +-2°, +-20km/h) from the parameters caused 50-60m deviation. I tried the method described above (active pause) before, and yeah.... the the ballistics of the FAB bombs has been changed too and they are more draggy and more sensitive for shallow angles. This situation is even worse when you drop the temperature in the ME and the air is more dense or add a wind into the mission.

Are you planning on doing any basic tutorials on guided munitions deployment or are they basically the same as well? Is that even something you can cover here?
-
Cool. If you would like more detailed help with iron bombs Iain Christie aka sidekick is a great channel
-
how are you supposed to do this while taking AAA fire? If nothing else, straight consistent lines while rolling in means an easy target for AAA, flying wildly to avoid fire means missing... please help
-
Why you fly a Stuka and dive at 70-90 degrees, lol.
-
I think sometimes it's bug
