El amigo tanit afirma:

cbu52/72 = against infantry/anti-material, it's essentially napalm with some pellets BA 1000

CBU 87 = against everything, most effective against light armored and unarmored vehicles, not as effective as 97 against tanks, I always use these in SEAD role, BA 1500-2000

CBU 94 = power plants, it's a graphite bomb, you will rarely/never use it in BMS

CBU 97 = for tanks, but it also has a secondary effect against "general purpose" targets. The general purpose effect is not as good as 87. BA 2000-3000

Luego, quizás el aporte más interesante es el de A.S:

Luego postea:

Furter tip:
If you have a known (spotted) convoy as target and lets say you have 8 clusterbombs loaded, a good way to find out what spacing you need is also to find out the total lenght

of that particular convoy by bringing it up in the recon screen.

Place the convoy horizontally in the recon-screen till the most left and the most right vehicle touches the recon screen-edges.

Now you have a value on the left buttom --> slantrange, which tells you the total length of that convoy.

Lets say our convoy is 6000feet long and we have 8 clusterbombs..make the math: 6000feet / 8 = 750 feet spacing / RP 8. to cover the whole convoy in one path.

Y añade un video extra sobre la CBU 97/SFW que está MUY bien:

EN RESUMEN, lo que más me interesa son las BA para las CBU 87 (2500a) y las CBU 97 (3000)

Luego hay un diálogo interesante sobre la amplitud máxima que se puede usar para cubrir una zona

Well, you could do that but... These weapons don't have a 750 foot diameter coverage when they hit. Check the Tacref--many at most have a 400 foot total coverage or so. From my own experience, depending on the munition, at most I can squeeze 275 feet or so usable coverage out of a bomb and that's with a high BA.

So, sure, you can cover a 6000 ft convoy but you're probably not going to take a lot of them out if you do so. I argue you're better off going in with CCIP and shrinking the spacing down to 200-275 feet (sometimes less depending on the munition) and drop 4 per ripple or 2 per ripple.

Play around with them on KOTAR--you'll see that the 87's have a much larger swath than the 97's where the 97's explode in a semi-star pattern. BA to a point stops mattering as well from what I've seen.

No se si la información está bien organizada por mí, pero al menos para mí es interesante, espero que a alguien le sirva
