As usual, following the previous in-depth analysis of loft and toss bombing profiles for Paveway II employment, you'll find attached a new set of kneeboard pages designed to assist both mission planning and in-flight execution.
Uou'll find here essential data: profile geometry, weapon flight parameters, release distances, impact angles, time of flight, and recommended arming delays. They are built around a unified ballistic model covering the GBU-10, GBU-12, and GBU-16 series. (Reminder: as mentioned earlier, the GBU-16 currently has inaccurate ballistic behavior in DCS—avoid using it "operationally" until a fix is confirmed.)
For non-standard scenarios such as different release altitudes, speeds, or target elevations, it's strongly recommended to run your own simulations using a ballistic planning tool.
This post is the last one in the core series on self-lased Paveway II delivery profiles. The next articles will detail buddy-lasing tactics, beginning with ground-based illumination and following with airborne lasing considerations.
Enjoy!
