seriously...I haven't use the bomb sight since the last change ....../usually can pick off hangers , vh , gv's ..gopher in its hole as long as I don't get obve 7K..  I may dive at a cv to be a distraction for ack..but only dive bomb with the arlo234 jet bomber..to tell you the truth..I can't dive bomb period. At times i may ...if cv turning etc put my bomber in a 10-15 dergree angle to make a successful attack.....but the truth is try hard to keep my speed at 200 other wise i can't hit a barn!

Once I have practiced a few more times, I'm going to be trying myself on the online game and then I am going to try to hook up with some units out there that are on the lookout for a new rookie pilot lol.


   With the 110, if your nosing up in a dive, you've oversped the plane.
Throttle down before diving and watch your speed.  I love the 110 for divebombing, but I do occassionally find I've oversped.  really annoying when you KNOW everything is lined up just right then the nose starts to pull up
