Depression table for rockets and cluster bomb dispensers on the F-4?

[Maki Nishikino]

Hi all. I can't seem to find such tables in the manual. Does anyone know where I can find this information?

There is an in-game bombing calculator in the F-4 you can access by RCtrl+B .
Select the weapon, speed, alt, .etc and it gives you a result which you can send also to Jester.

That I know but it doesn't provide info for rockets and cluster bomb dispensers.

For clusters I use the same table as the Mirage F1CE/EE... works close enough. Rockets about the same.

+1 on this issue.

I get the feeling developers (both ED and third party) are reluctant to publish bombing tables that are not already IRL bombing tables previously released to the public. But at the end of the day, they did program some kind of algorithm to simulate the trajectory of the munition. So write a script that generates these tables automatically for every weapon in the game, and stick a little asterisk next to it, "this table is a work of fiction, any resemblance to real figures is coincidental."

Possibly the third-party dev side of it is complicated by ED exercising more direct control over the munitions modelling, for balance and consistency.
