I favor bombing...to the point of wanting to fly bombers exclusively. However, right now, I also fly RAF almost exclusively, though there is only one, somewhat sucky bomber (The blen :D ). Maybe I should change my mind and switch to the dark (LW) side and team up with you...

Bring me the fairey battle and I'll play sir!

Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make history.

we dont want to force people to fly certain types of planes....but you could at least consider to "change" your mind and fly the LW bombers....

btw,...did anybody already try out the bombers with the new patch yet?

Hi, today using new beta pach, i destroy one target whit JU88 at 3000M.

The sight work bery good:grin::grin:

just saw ATAG_something and Warhoud? announce that the bomb sites are working perfecly now..

If you want to test the bombsights, bomb from at least 4000-5000 meters of altitude. The problem was that the bombsight was missing the high altitude adjustment for bomb trajectories, so if you bomb from low altitudes you are not really testing much ;)

I did a very quick and dirty run: start the FMB, place two waypoints, Ju88 airstart with a full bomb load.

I am pleased to say that even though i was being very very sloppy (i was in a hurry), i still managed to get half my bombs within the perimeter of Manston.

I will do more testing tomorrow. I think that in a normal situation (well trimmed aircraft, time for the autopilot to settle, etc, instead of airstart and rushing to set engines, bombsight and bomb release settings in half a minute like i did in my test) it will be possible to accurately bomb from 5000 meters or more. Especially if you have wingmen with you to saturate the target.

perfect!so now Bomberchaps, jump on board and lets form up a new squad under ACG.

in the last version i used IAS as input in the bombsight to hit the target, it appear that now to hit it i need to input the TAS, anyone else is experiencing this??
sorry for the ot
