Courtesy of testing done by a community member, Gusy, this is a pretty extensive test of Burst Altitude settings and their effects on CBU effectiveness.


I spent a few hours of testing munitions in a controlled environment. Target is 100 M1A1's in column. CCIP on a single tank and judge each weapon's effectiveness using TACVIEW and debriefing kills.
