I love how bite-sized and easy to follow your tutorials are. Makes learning these modules so quick and painless. Thanks Cap.

I have a really dumb question. Is the purpose of using laser-guided weapons primarily because you can make bigger bangs than with a Maverick?

[@hiddewieringa3911]

I have noticed that the LASER designation also comes up on other GBU's. Is that possible or does that mean something else?

[@grimreapers]

ED told me it is the Laser Reset Cycle.

GBU10, GBU12, GBU24, GBU38, GBU31-V1, GBU31-V2, GBU31-V3, GBU31-V4, GBU32 ....... so many bombs. Where's the difference? Which bomb for which target? Please a tutorial.

[@Swatmat]

gbu 12 is 500lb gbu 1000lb gubu 10 2000lb the gbu31 are all gps guided variants

[@grimreapers]

REALLY simple once you know them guys! GBU10-24 = laser guided(more accurate and can hit moving targets and different warhead sizes). GBU31+ = INS/GPS guided(fire and forget and different warhead sizes)

[@Lxcx311]

Basically you should take the 500lb bombs for small targets like tanks, small buildings etcand everything heavier for targets that are heavily armored/hard to destroy with 1 small bomb like bunkers, bigger buildings, maybe several vehicles on 1 spot (parked vehicles). A 500lb bomb sounds not much but you have to take into acc that it (theoretically) hits always from the top and directly on the target so it needs less penetration and less explosive mass :)

[@iamapilot2818]

@@grimreapers That is exactly the question: which warhead on which bomb and which bomb on which target.

I had this same issue so did a bunch of research especially with the many GBU-31's. GBU-10, Laser guided 2000lb (Paveway II) GBU-12, Laser guided 500lb (Paveway II) GBU-16, Laser guided 1000lb (Paveway II) GBU-24, Laser guided 2000lb (Paveway III) GBU-38, GPS/INS 500lb GBU-31(V)1/B, GPS/INS 2000lb (Navy) GBU-31(V)2/B, GPS/INS 2000lb (Marine) GBU-31(V)3/B GPS/INS 500lb penetrating (Air Force) GBU-31(V)4/B GPS/INS 500lb penetrating (Navy/Marine) GBU-32(V)2/B GPS/INS 1000lb

For some reason I thought auto lase was already there, I guess not for that bomb. Some many bombs, so little time.🙁 Great video, straight to the point, thanks Cap!

[@firemedicjm911]

The GBU-24 did not have autolase until this last update

[@paytonschaefer9912]

Hey Cap I had a question for you, im looking for a hotas but i don't know what to get, I only have a 50$ budget so I know I can't find much. What do you reccomend?

[@maxlocke7867]

Pretty small budget mate, especially for the flight sim world, maybe try picking up a second hand Xbox controller to start?

[@grimreapers]

Only one I know that was that cheap was HOTAS X, unsure if they still make it?

[@thegrizz9994]

try 2nd hand..i got a x 52 for 50 eurods..was a few years ago...still awesomes tho

[@usarmytanker137]

Awesome 😎 thanks Cap sir! As always love the Content Brother

[@lance_the_avocado9492]

So what’s the point of a laser code? Isn’t laser designation just a point of electromagnetic radiation? And doesn’t the seeker only follow that point? Why would you need a code if it’s just a form of radiation?

cap you should really consider about join the the British Air Force, you can fly sooooo many planes, which is sort of truly multi role pilot

[@grimreapers]

Neg, I would not be suitable for RAF :(
