Invisible 3D model
No splash effect
No explosion effects.

.dat and .sim

And if you want you could make a 3D model that is not a bomb to place on the plane. But if your purpose is to get detected and bombed with MAD, then pick a plane with real bombs.

Some planes have a basic loadout that is unarmed. Adding dummies has them "attack" the sub, which insures that they will send a contact report at the very least.

Take MAD planes. The goal is not so much immediate prosecution, but to hold the sub down, AND keep some sense of his position. A lot of bombs (dummies) means multiple passes. Meanwhile, ASW assets can come (even other planes).

I'd tend to want MAD aircraft to fly patterns in specific areas, vs the "airstrike" paradigm seen (assigning them to airbases).

Then you can set the altitude they fly, etc. The goal would really be to altert nearby ASW assets (other groups would then be in their "en garde" status, constant-helming, etc).
