CBU-25 Too good to be true

Recommended Posts

Have you tried the amazing, CBU-25 (Frag) in WOV? It comes on the F-100D (Late). You get the bomb pipper on the target and pickle. What happens next is that two streaks of fire shoot out of the aircraft, hit the pipper, and a second later lots of little bomblets explode, destroying whoever was down there. 

It's much better than LAU rockets which never hit where you try to point them. The CBU hits the pipper every time. It's almost too good to be true. And actually, it is too good to be true, because it isn't true.

 

The CBU bombs are supposed to be dropped from the rear of the tubes, so the pipper is of no use. I'm assuming the technique was to dive low, pull up sharp and drop the munitions out the back of the aircraft, trusting to luck and practice.

 

According to sources on the net:

The real CBU-25A/A Cluster Bombs were dropped from a SUU-14A/A dispenser, which consisted of six dispersal tubes. Each of the six tubes contained baseball sized bomblets which were dispensed out the rear of the tube. The CBU was dispensed one tube per press of the pickle button. 

Fusing allowed them to penetrate the jungle canopy before they detonated.

 

Never mind, I love how they work in WOV just fine.
