About This File
I built this to replace the blunt shaped CBU-24/B CBU munition in the sim, as that shape is actually the SUU-30B/B dispenser. The CBU- designation for munitions is actually the combined SUU- dispenser and BLU-submition bomblet combined. A bit complicated.
The weapon as supplied in the sim should actually be the CBU-24B/B (using the blunt nosed SUU-30B/B shape). That was introduced in 1969 or so and was seen during the 1972 Linebacker operations.
This weapon is the CBU-24/B (using the more streamlined SUU-30/B shape) and was used until about 1971 or so when it seems that USAF stocks were pretty much used up in Southeast Asia.
You must be able to use the weaponeditor to have both shapes available.
My thanks to NGHENGO for converting the GMax files into a workable .LOD and .bmp file for me!
Revised 7-08 with better texture and resized shape.
Enjoy,
