Taterd Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks in advance to anyone who can help having problem with JDAM drop them they seem to start to track to the target and then enter a glide and themn miss the target routinely!!! I have the July 2012 patch installed! Quote
+Brain32 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 It's a bug, I don't know if anyone reported it to TK on tw forums though... Quote
MigBuster Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Do TW actually support JDAMs ? - I would say no. Quote
+Brain32 Posted November 21, 2012 Posted November 21, 2012 Do TW actually support JDAMs ? - I would say no. But you would be wrong, it is supported but one of the patches broke it... Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 thought they acted like LGB's but w/o the video display......... Quote
dast24 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Do you employ the JDAM like it is mentioned in the SF2 Series Air To Ground Combat School ? Quote
FastCargo Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 JDAMs seem to work fine for me...just destroyed a SAM launcher with a GBU-38. Just flew in the general 'basket' area and released. Verified with the weapons editor that the bomb is using GPS Homing for guidance. This is in SF2V with the Jul 12 patch. FC Quote
+Brain32 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Just tested GBU-32/31/38, the all fly away into nowhere for me :( Quote
+ianh755 Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Is that on all weapons settings in the in-game "Gameplay" options (hard/medium/easy)? Quote
FastCargo Posted November 22, 2012 Posted November 22, 2012 Okay, more testing. Just flew a strike mission on the Range...6 GBU-38s dropped (one by my wingman). Result was 4 destroyed targets including primary (wingie scored with his drop). What I noticed was the basket seems 'steeper' than it used to be...you can't do a shallow attack now. Drops were level flight, 300ish knots, about at least a 5 second run in before drop. Everything on Hard and verified the GBU-38s are using GPS Homing for guidance...Jul 12 patch in SF2V stand alone. My opinion is that JDAMs work, but their tolerance is much tighter for drops... FC Quote
+Brain32 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 Don't know what happens to mine, they don't just miss they float away for kilometers, it's not a precision issue, they start diving then level out and go over the target, even if I drop say 10km before the target they overshoot by at least another 10km... Will try to shuffle exe's as I have a merged install. Quote
+Stary Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 same as Brain's in my case, the just dive, level and glide happily on their own, Jul12 all merged 1 Quote
+ianh755 Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Did some testing and have no issues on Weapons set to "Easy", "Medium" or "Hard" (but missed with the silly Loft on Hard as I thought I would). I'm at July '12 patch with all 5 & 2 exp all merged - 1 each GBU-31/32/38 from level flight from 30nm @ 35000ft, 20nm @ 25000ft and 10nm @ 5000ft - All hit the targets. 1 each GBU-31/32/38 from a short range high angle dive - 3.5nm @ 45' dive from 15000ft - All hit the targets. 1 each GBU-31/32/38 from a very short range "loft" style (most difficult for guidance) - 3.5nm @ 45' Nose up from 10000ft - All hit the targets. 1 GBU-56 (guidance set to GPS in .ini) in a high speed high angle very short range dive - 1.5nm @ 60' dive from 10000ft @ Mach 1.3 - Hit the target. JDAMS are from the MGunny pack and I don't think they've been edited at all but can't be 100% sure. Edited November 23, 2012 by ianh755 Quote
MigBuster Posted November 23, 2012 Posted November 23, 2012 But you would be wrong, it is supported but one of the patches broke it... The only thing they support at the moment is SF Android by the looks of things Quote
Boresight Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Hello, Updating on the JDAMs deployment. At first all the above mentioned failures when deploying JDAMs, also happened to me. But my fault was: trying to hit moving naval vessels with them, I think. (Besides guided missiles, I bellive only Laser Guided Bombs (not JDAMs), manage to adjust their trajectory to track moving targets.) I managed to hit non moving ground targets, or even ships docked at port. Always in the same fashion: roughly - 35 or - 40 degrees step dive, and within 6 miles distance. (Don't recall the altitude now.) That was it. Quote
Talez Posted June 19, 2016 Posted June 19, 2016 Apr 2013 patch level and JDAM seems to be completely broken. It works fine with 2012 patch, I confirm. But not anymore. Quote
shomu1 Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 They seem to work okay if you drop in a 10-15 degree dive around 4 miles away from the target (for GBU-31) Quote
Toryu Posted June 29, 2016 Posted June 29, 2016 2013 patch level here and those JDAMs go for a round-the-world tour, despite being dropped inside parameters. They also glide like a world-championship sailplane. A bit on the far side for a bomb with just a couple of strakes and a steerable fin... Quote
