Question about bombing w/o bomb bay.
« on: July 02, 2007, 06:37:07 PM »
Hello.

I was wondering if someone could help me out.  I love bombing with my Lancs and Boston III's, but how do I line up a bomb drop with a plane without a bomb sight?

This probably seems newbish, but I could use some help.

Thanks!

If you fly a fighter or a heavy attack plane without bombsight like the Ju87 or A20, you should divebomb your target. You have to get used to aiming with your gunsight.
The steeper your dive is, the easier it is to aim, but watch your speed and your altitude.

There is an article about such attacks on http://www.netaces.org. Look for JABO tactics.
