Removing the HMD from the F-16 increases JDAM accuracy
My test setup was the following:
-air spawn at 20 000 feet in front of the Caucasus cross, release at around 0.9IMN, 8.5 nautical miles
-laser was on starting from 10 miles, aiming at the base of the BTR
-GBU-38 with FMU-152
The result was that the no HMD setup had 2 drops out of 16 that had miss distance of 30 or higher, while the HMD installed setup had 7. All things considered, the weapon performed much better with the HMD being uninstalled.
