Okay or the life of me I can't get my Paveways to hit. I've got the laser on and not masking, so it's not that I don't have it set, but I drop it via CCRP when it allows me to do it, and I seem to always drop past the target, not onto it. So I'm doing something wrong as far as flight profile or something as I should be hitting after three days of constant practice. Any tips I could use?

If the bomb falls far, I'm guessing it's a laser problem. First thing that came to mind was that the bomb ran out of energy, but obviously then it would fall short of the target, not far.
When do you start the laser, how many seconds are left before impact when it comes on?
Have you ensured that the laser is continuous, i.e. have you turned on Latch/are you manually pressing the button throughout the bomb's flight? ^^^^This, and you have to keep the target illuminated until you see the impact through your TGP.

I just switch it on so I'll try Latching it as that's something I'm not doing... And no I'm not but I the "L" cue so I guess I'm assuming I'm not lasing, just that the laser isn't active... will try that later on, thanks!

Yeah that's all it really was, just not activating the laser and just dropped 2 with 2 hits, much appreciated!

Yeah I've read usually you should also parallel the vehicle as best as possible as well. And I read that about six years ago somewhere (don't remember where) so thanks for that.
Well I don't remember the TOF for the drops I did but I kept the laser on all the time but as said they both hit squarely on the target, so not sure if it matters (Latch was on, didn't do any settings in the DSMS profile for the bombs either) so much as again I was in CCRP, not CCIP mode when dropping the bombs.

Yeah agreed, as my Mav shooting both in the C and A has improved over the past week (spending a good hour or so plinking targets on my training mission at least once a day) so I'm getting more stable when moving the pipper around in both jets so yeah always practice practice practice.

I tend to go with 8, that's about what's required from what I've seen so far.
A tip if you're hitting moving vehicles: Come in at a 10°-15° dive, full throttles from the front or rear at for the drop. You might have to do some small adjustments with the laser time, but that tends to give my LGBs enough energy to hit moving targets. Well I just tried CCRP against a slow moving target and managed to get him good with a GBU-12 and that was roughly middle throttle, so it's a start.
