I tried offline (dont have MA access) once or twice and the only difference I see is that after you calibrate, it shows the speed you were at when you calibrated.

Other than that I see no new differences in the text.

Never understood why we didn't have speed after calibration.
It made the bombsight very frustrating since you had to drop bombs to have any idea how good your calibration was.

You don't have to hold the sight in one spot on the grond any more. You just let your speed settle out with doors open then go to your sight enter calibration mode and just hold Y for a few seconds and then hit U again and poof auto calibration. Your sight should be set as long as your speed and altitudedon't change you should always hit spot on.

True But after lets say you have 8 1000Lb bombs ..

Salvo 2 and drop 3 times one for each Fighter Hanger , and you still have 2 Bombs left ,

your speed will increase and you will have to recalibrate to make that second drop if you have to turn back onto the same field .

Am I wrong on this because my speed did increase , and my drop was long on second pass
