Let's Check out your first strike Aircraft. (Strike #1) Select the "Blue Base" and either press the "F6" key or push the "Aircraft" on the "Unit Status" panel.
Strike #1 is an F-16 loaded with 6x Mk82 LDGP (Low Drag General Purpose). If you delve into the database, you will note that this bomb was first put into action in 1954, a lot has changed in bomb design since then.
You will also note that:
- Range against Anti-surf(surface) targets is 1nm or 1 Nautical Mile, that is right on top of the target.
- Launch Altitude is anywhere between 800ft AGL (Above Ground Level) and 65000ft AGL, quite flexible.
- This is a 500-pound(241Kg) GPB (General Purpose Bomb).
- Surface PoH (Probability of Hit) is 99%, that is good so it will probably hit the ground, not necessarily the target.
- The CEP (Circular Error Probability) means that it will likely hit within 50 Meters of where it is aimed but you're aiming it with the entire aircraft, it is not a precision weapon.
- If you hit your target, you will do 130.5 DP (Damage Points). DP is a game abstract to measure a targets ability to absorbed damage verses a weapons ability to deliver that damage.
Your target, Target 1, is a guard post. Checking the Database, you will note:
- This is a building, Ok.
- It has 25 DP, so if you hit it, you should kill it with your bombs which do 130 DP each.
- It has light armor, which should not be a problem for your bombs.
- It is a 20x20 Meter target giving a target area of about 400 Square Meters.
Launch Strike #1 by either right clicking on the aircraft and selecting "Launch Individually" from the drop-down menu or by clicking the "Launch Individually" from the options along the bottom of the "Air Ops" menu.
