Bomber woes

I can, but as you know, when you minimize the clipboard, it goes away.  I can change the size, but that dosen't make any difference as far as the crosshairs are concerned, it still covers them.  Unless I am real close to the drop target, the bomb sight do me no good for calibrating as the  target is not visible.

You don't need to see the target to calibrate your bombsight.

And I dont understand why you have the clipboard up as you are calibrating.

Gato firstly FORGET using the clipboard map.  Why u use it to calibrate?  Did someone tell to use clipboard ? if they did their advice was way wrong .......get this--->  U do not need the clipboard.  Put the bloody thing away and use my instructions as in above post

You dont put the crosshairs onto the target while calibrating. With the new calibration you care a rats arse where the cross is, just enter calibration mode, hold down the key for 10 secs and exit calibration mode.

You can change the size of the clipboard. Also i would put it away with esc for droping.

Dont open the bomb doors right away when leveling.
When you go level you want the bomber to pick up some speed so it gets up to the speed where it will stay with doors open. Once you reached that speed you open the doors, but opening em before it will take a longer time to reach the speed.

Please note you NO LONGER have to find field ALT or swing cross hairs forward to calibrate.  This was ammended some months pasts.  I believe HTC made bombing easier in a vain attempt to stop the low alt skill-less gamey tards from carpet bombing.  However, if that was the case the only "true" answere would be to make "F6" the default bomb drop position.

That is not the reason why it was changed. It was changed because people at the convention were able convince and show how difficult it was for certain people to hold their crosshairs steady to the point where you could get an accurate callibration. The reasons varried from people who just cant physically keep their hands that steady (and I see plenty of people in real life who do not have steady hands) or joysticks/equipment that just isn't good enough to keep the crosshairs perfectly steady.


I do hope though that HTC decides to make it that you can only drop bombs from the F6 view for heavy bombers.
