Falcon 4 BMS 4.33 Tutorial 12 AGM-154A JSOW vs 2 mechanised columns

In this tutorial we look at the AGM-154A JSOW, or Joint Standoff Weapon, attacking two mechanised columns with two pairs of glide bombs, released in trail. This weapon allows targeting of protected sites from outside the range of defensive weapons systems.

Supanova - Like many I have been flying Falcon 4.0 since the beginning and even as a beta tester for the original Microprose team. Also been part of the BMS team since 2006. And I have t write that your tutorial videos are top notch and I learn from them as well. Great work and keep it up!

[@supanova88]

Thanks for your kind words. You have an enviable history with this title.

[@Lord_Shadowz]

I bet this process is much simpler on an F-35 with the touch screens. It’s crazy you have to do all of this while watching out for enemy SAMS and aircraft. Amazing video! This was a great step by step tutorial. The JSOW is an amazing weapon.

[@supanova88]

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[@UnleashedCode]

Really nice video... didn't really know the JSOW capabilities until after watching this. Thank you

[@Netbug]

Few things are more enjoyable than wrecking airfields with these.

[@vlg_roshstrom9577]

Wow....that weapon is a bit overpower, isnt it ? Nice tutorial, keep it coming :D

[@AidanMillward]

Belruni Rosaldi most virtual squadrons are banning it as its so OP. for people like me that are constantly getting SA2'd it's a god send 😆

[@gunslinger2488]

If you play the campaign you only get a limited supply of them and you know why.

best channel for bms so far, subbed

[@supanova88]

Thanks. :)

[@عمرومجدى-ي4ث]

Thanks 🙏

When we launch 2 💣 together we know that the “space impact” is the distance between 2 JSOW 💣 considering the SPI at the center right? But these 💣 do not fall whole to the ground (such as JDAM), but open in the air in clusters. Therefore the “space impact” is calculated from the center of 1st 💣💣💣 💣 to the center of 2nd or simply the distance between 2 JSOW 💣 in the air? I hope it is clear I,m 🇮🇹🙏👍

How do you create and view the vhs file?

[@arabianjules]

awesome!

[@supanova88]

Thanks. :)

[@Bl00dWolf]

Nice vids and voice! ;D

[@supanova88]

+Bl00dRedDragon Thanks. :)

[@proletariat239]

Is the Israeli and other f15cs have a ramp start tutorial I can't seem to find the switches !!??!?

[@supanova88]

The F15 has a cockpit diagram in your BMS install directory: \Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Docs\Checklists & Cockpit Diagrams\F-15E Cockpit Diagram

[@pccmanager]

This is brilliant, are you a fighter pilot?

[@supanova88]

Unfortunately, no. :)

[@UrSKL]

To estimate the attack azimuth we do : 295+25 ?

[@supanova88]

You're estimating attack azimuth based on target position relative to your heading.

[@UrSKL]

@@supanova88 I found it thanks !

[@umutumut7811]

What is the attack azimuht?

[@supanova88]

[@PeteV80]

Do you have to set a mark tgt? Can't you just lock the tgt on fcr?

[@supanova88]

You have to set the coordinates.

[@PeteV80]

Are you sure? I just tried again and it works fine firing them off with a lock on FCR. Can't be a GMT because it just goes to the coords from lock-up, but for GM it's fine to just lock in FCR and fire.

[@supanova88]

I would have to test it to know for sure either way. But it's good to hear that you got it working.

[@giupo]

Hi All!!! Thanks @supernova for your tutorials... AFAIK the JSOW (as all the IAM munitions) will impact on the coordinates the cursor of the SOI is pointing at during release: it doesn't need a lock, but I would like a confirm for more expert players.

[@geraltofvengerberg3049]

writing attack azimuth always 270 wont cause problem at least for me i dont understand clearly how to calculate attack azimuth english is not very well

[@supanova88]

You can calculate the attack azimuth for the second column using the same method as was used for the first column. You look at your current heading and use that to define the angle required for the second column.

[@geraltofvengerberg3049]

thanks ill look for it

[@amer9517]

How can I determine the best angle and azimuth to hit the target?

[@supanova88]

[@amer9517]

+supanova thank you :)

[@supanova88]

+amer odeh You're welcome. I hope it's been of use.

[@amer9517]

+supanova i have another question, sometime the jet refuses to drop a bomb, why ??

[@supanova88]

+amer odeh You might not have set master arm to arm, or you may not be holding the weapon release button down for long enough. As long as you follow all of the required steps the weapons should release.
