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.
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
