"True dat." What I try to do is spot the target with an FOO of high experience and vision 40+ or greater if I use say an Lt Observation Helo. Next, if say I'm dropping CBU munitions (a lot of scatter,) (2)800 lb CBU AP x2 for example, I'd make of the CBU stores inactive. What I've found, or at least it appears to me, that my guys will drop with increased accuracy when I use an enhanced spotting unit and inactivate one of the stores.

Example:

AV-8B Harrier
Default vision is 20
Weapon Load Out:
25mm GAU-12 GAT
800lb CBU AP HE 2
800lb CBU AP HE 2

Inactivate one of the two CBU's and to be safe just in case a vehicle gets in the LOS of the attack vector, turn off the 25mm as well.

Now it'll drop two rather than four stores mitigating short and long drops.

Try it you might like it, although it involves more battlefield management, it will increase targeted kills.

IMHO

Go Messi, Go Argentina!
