This bomb was meant to slap ships not from orbit like you are in testing but from lower altitudes over long slant ranges - that's why it has a 25km range real world, ostensibly against a ship sized target - you're not lasing a Mini Cooper at that distance. The INS Sahand was smacked with 4 of these launched by an A-6E the week I was born in 1988, in addition to 3 other Harpoons that hit. One can fire the skipper from outside of defensive range and then turn 90 degrees and keep the target lased in the TRAM turret without closing any more distance. Today such tactics are less useful as ranges of most naval SAMs have improved.
It is also a weapon that is used against a vertical target like a cave mouth or a particular floor in a building. The GBU-10, GBU-10I, GBU-12, GBU-16, and the GBU--27 all had a specific ballistics profile for either a horizontal or a vertical enveloped target. Usually that meant the laser guidance illumination occurred earlier in the delivery profile resulting in a flatter ballistics curve.
@@michaelspivey4574 TIL! Interesting - the slightly older GBU-15 slots in below the Skipper in range but then the AGM-130 shoots past it like a super skipper. All of these weapons are largely forgotten so it's nice to see the snail slide us some obscure toys.
Pretty sure what’s going on here is that the missile is still a paveway GBU, so the guidance system on the bomb isn’t acquiring the laser until it’s within a certain distance (I think the distance is like 2, 3 kilometers on the smaller paveways?) so you can’t rely on the bomb to guide itself completely to the target like other AGMs. It’s more of a tool to get the bomb guidance into range without having to float above
The missile doesn't know what is at any time, it doesn't know what it is because it doesn't know what it was. By subtracting the missile from the bomb, or the bomb from the missile (whichever is greater), it obtains an identity crisis. The missile uses the identity crisis to generate funny memes and deadly explosions.
The sea skipper is a laser guided weapon. In order for sea skipper (or a laser guided smart bomb for that matter) to hit a target that target must be constantly illuminated by the laser in either the dropping aircraft, a buddy aircraft, or an covert observer on the ground with a hand held laser targeting device transmitting the code loaded into the guidance unit on the bomb. The code was loaded into the guidance unit by the weapons personnel that loaded the store onto the aircraft. I was a weapon and avionics engineer on the F117 and the sea skipper was considered as a store for the F117. The only reason it was not a weapon on the F117 is that was 4 inches too long and making a special version for the F117 was not an option.
The problem with this new weapon is its trail. The A6E is such a deadly attacker in GRB because of its stealth at high altitudes. The trail of the PGM123 would make it much easier to spot.
@@GravityTrash.Yes, how ever the tunguska has a 70-80 degrees of elevation on the radar, that means that if you are above it and high enough, they will have no idea you are there, until a bomb drops
I worked on the A-6E Intruder in the early 90s. There was a report that came out the British tornado was top bomber and Intruder was second place. The ceiling minimum was 20,000 feet.
Hi Phly! I live right near Cherry Point, and I can list all the aircraft on display in and around the base. -In New Bern, the largest town near base, there's an F-11F painted in Blue Angels livery on display next to highway 70. There's also a harrier in front of the regional airport. -In Havelock, the town adjacent to base, there's the A-6E you mentioned behind the hotel, which is also alongside an F-4 and an A-4. -On the south entrance of base is another harrier on display. Once on base itself. There's a large line of display aircraft which includes yet another harrier, an EA-6B, and a CH-46.
But with a rocket as well, is it still a guided bomb, or is it a missile? Maybe a rocket assisted bomb differs in that it's trajectory is always falling where as a missile has enough power for level flight?
I first got into war thunder in 2020 because of your videos, but a while ago i stopped playing. At about that time is when you stopped making videos, but now that you are back i have started to get back into the game, and im having just as much fun as i did before. So basically you are the reason that i play war thunder, and your videos are just as good as before (even though the views dont show it). Great to see you back Phly!
i think the issue with these rockets is, at top tier you pretty much have to play jets up in space or SAMs slap you out of the air. so having to nose down at your target to fire these means you are losing altitude, so you are closer to the SAMs and you are also flying right at them which makes you an easy target to kill. the missiles getting to target faster is kinda helpful but i think the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. at least for war thunder.
Genuinely from what I recall, there was a bomb used by one of the powers in world war 2 that was specifically meant to be dropped above and in-front-of a slow flying bomber formation, and then disperse a hyperbolic metric ton of incendiary ordnance which would fall down onto and pepper the bombers, causing them to burn and crash. I cant remember for the life of me which country tried to use it, but I swear it exists
It looks like the skippers are more useful for launching forward as you fly low (but not lobbing so high that the seeker loses the target). Also less time you have to spend in line of sight.
Cherry Point is about a 6 hours drive from where I live, I've been there many times. I used to spend a lot of time in Atlantic Beach when I was in my teens/early 20's. Still go there from time to time.
Derelict, Delapitated, Decrepit. Also NC getting a F-11 and harrier lucky. My home town has a F-4, A-4 skyhawk, and some soviet trainer i cant remember the name of outside.
Fun fact (and I have been seeing this alot lately ) you can use the guided bombs on the su-25sm3 (and maybe other variations) to lock on to a enemy aircraft and kill them with more accuracy than a missile cause there isn't annything to disturb / disrupt the guidance system....
I mean best way you can describe this gun is...i will bring up as an example the German V1 Flying rocket bomb but this one , it has got the ability to lock on a specific target or spot
I know Air RB isn't common on this channel but the British Gloster Javelin fills like a underrated air craft even with the capability to bring 6 AA missiles and have an afterburner in 8.0. Ps projectile poo could be classed as a bio weapon.
I was stationed on cherry point! I believe they moved it on base. But they have more planes behind a hotel and a Mexican restaurant. It’s in Havelock NC
When you’re flying high and flat, the laser seeker on the bomb head, cannot see the laser on the ground. That’s why you’re not getting a range indicating for launch
There are air to air bombs. Japan made them. It was called the Type 3 No. 6 Mk 27 Model 1. I also had an E6b fly 30 feet above my truck while landing. I was blasting Dangerzone at the time.
Glen Miller's plane is thought to have been destroyed by bombers flying at a higher altitude dropping excess ordinance when returning from a mission, unintentionally fitting the definition of an air-to-air bomb.
in this case, missles and rockets are proppeled bombs are unpropeled there just droped and the diferance between missle and rocket is missles are guided
If you turn into the Hampton Inn in cherry point with the A6E out front, there is a visitor center behind it with an F4 phantom, A4 skyhawk, and a CH46 :D
BRING BACK PLAYER OPERATED DRONE ARTILLERY! (Day 14) You can play the BMP-3/BMD-4 if you are solo as the HE shell only goes 250m/s If your playing with Odd or others I beg of you to have one player in a drone, and the other in a Sturmtiger, as it would be hilarious to get a 3km kill with a sturmtiger rocket. The player operated artillery video you made ages ago has since been my favorite on the channel.
Yeah Phly Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point is a USMC air base, they have a pretty sweet air show. I’ve flown out of there a few times when i was stationed with an Artillery Unit at nearby Camp Lejeune.
If it had a ballistics computer it would be a lot more useful. You could potentially sling it off from really far range and guide it in once it got close to target while being outside SPAA range
The skippers might be more useful against moving targets. Or maybe give you more of a chance when there's clouds on the map. I've spawned plenty of times in the A-6 and found that I can't even freaking use it because the map has too many clouds for me to see or keep lock on targets at high alt. So you can launch these from further away maybe?
@PhlyDaily Cherry Point is a Marine base. lived there for several years. Fun fact its one of the few runways long enough for the space shuttle to land on in an emergency. I can still remember watching the blue angels fly in for the air show from the cafeteria in 5th/6th grade
6:35 : blinky = no-launchy. It has to be within the square (I have no idea how one calls that but it's like a target launch window... Particularly annoying in revenge drones XD ) and within the range bracket.
"There's no such thing as an air to sit bomb" I present the AIM-26 Falcon, nuclear air to air bomb. Or the AIR-2 Genie which was an unguided 1.25 Kiloton Wahead.

its because the bomb has to be dropped directly facing the target or in close proximity, then it will track from farther ranges
