Is it WORTH to use GPS GUIDED BOMBS in GROUND BATTLES? HOW useful are they? - War Thunder

[@user-ACEKING]

Jdam only useful in ground against anti air( that doesn’t move and camps in spawn).

[@fqeagles21]

Like IRL

[@actualsize123]

They’re also super useful against campers.

[@FXIIBeaver]

Super wrong. They are amazing in Sim mode.

[@user-ACEKING]

@@FXIIBeaver Good for you being the only person who bombs in sim thinking he’s gonna get more RP and SL than just playing 10 RB matches.

[@FXIIBeaver]

@@user-ACEKING I see reading isn’t a talent or skill of yours.

[@simula152]

would be cool if the targets for the strike could be set with the ingame map.

[@Vizabrine]

This aged well.

[@Pele55]

What I use them mostly for is against AA. The only thing i do different, when I climb to throw it i again go into the targeting pot to adjust the marker (or to attack multiple AA's) and then drop it.

[@vincentreim8962]

Jdams very useful when you’re attacking these frontline targets

[@Guarta_naro]

You can actually kill véhicule that is moving you just had tho lock it and stay in the pod until the bomb explode

[@Wolffjaeger]

a mix of mavericks and gbus will do it for me, jdam only for sim specifically

[@Nicolas-zw5ex]

Use jdam to blow up one of the points being defended by a huge amount of tanks

[@S1su]

Maybe not but damn fun

[@huriken8899]

can you try the chinese glide bombs for base bombing, would be realy interesting to see how they perform.

[@littletweeter1327]

They’re only 250’s they won’t do much. Better for taking out targets

[@actualsize123]

You’d have to bring 5 to kill a base, there’s two Chinese 500kg bombs and they use the worse ones, and I don’t think there’s any planes that carry 5 of them.

[@DaSteeJ07]

I’ve had great luck w them

[@guron246]

9:33 i think that you've just killed that idiot. I mean look at the spawn points at 9:27 - 113, and 294 at 9:33 also there is a mark of a dead aa at the same place where you droped a bomb.

[@m3chgeek470]

I think what the jdam was put in place for was to knock down your AI ground battles in air battles if that makes sense I play air battle Sim and the ground battle that pops up with jdams they basically get deleted now😂😂

[@KrisstyPark]

I like to use JDAM in the F-15C (equip with body fuel tank+custom skin) and pretend i'm in the F-15E

[@daltonbest9320]

found them to be soo good in sim

[@Sonoran.Monsoon]

How are they better than just setting a target point with a conventional bomb though?

[@christopherchartier3017]

Love using these as a cheaper way to engage SPAA that don’t move, and they glide EXTREMELY well. The CCRP/CCIP markers are lying to you

[@Sonoran.Monsoon]

This is helpful then, we need a video showing practical range. Because without that knowledge, there’s no advantage over dumb bombs. Just use any bomb with the CCIP/CCRP for the same result… if we’re taking range into account.

[@pensive7270]

Iirc when I brought it out the gps bombs are the same price as the tv and laser guided bombs.

[@christopherchartier3017]

@@pensive7270 It’s the same as LGB’s, but mavericks are more expensive

[@pensive7270]

@@christopherchartier3017 I didn’t say mavericks. Just the Kab-500s, the guided missiles usually cost more, especially the big missiles like the Kh-29T, 29TE, and MH38’s. I won’t be able to double check this since BR placement does have some sometimes say so could’ve changed and I didn’t notice.

[@Havoc_SYR]

Hello MatAWG, can you do a tutorial about the russian GPS guidded bombs kab500s using a mig 29smt?

[@actualsize123]

They work exactly the same as the ones you see here

[@marshall-yo5ho]

something that's goofy you can do, is use the TV cam of another missiles as a camera to mark for the gps bomb

[@Mysticmac007]

Who would believe that GPS guided bombs will be completely useless in GRB... and yet they are added before anti radiation ammunition

[@ThePrimordialArchon]

I dont see them as useless, fire them at the enemy spawns and youll probably erase their spaa’s and if your teams getting steamrolled fire it at the objectives you have no teammates on

[@Real_Claudy_Focan]

They want ARM DoA because it would be a death sentence for most soviet AA

[@brandonporter3866]

Cluster munitions would’ve been more useful

[@Blueesteel_]

They are useful just gotta use them in the right situation

[@Sonoran.Monsoon]

How is this ever any better than CCRP/CCIP on a conventional bomb?

[@funi_chest]

u don't have to be precise with the lineup of ur plane. otherwise, works the same

[@randomuser5443]

Irl the jdam 1 was supposed to have the ability to hit moving targets. It lost it because of corrupt people getting money from it think boeing

[@patriotic-panda]

That’s just not true

[@getrecked303]

Why use them over dumb bombs?

[@bombcat5517]

you can put the bomb reticle in the general area of the target and release instead of having to precisely align your bombing reticle with the target, useful in air rb theyre not very useful in GRB because their purpose is superceded by other guidance systems and the amount of fiddling with the TGP might not justify its use over dumb bombs either
