My method

Outside of dar ring 1 plane length, open doors and even out and nose on base.

Calibrate 5 seconds (pointing straight down).

Then get into your nose gunner position and rudder turn (adjust) to your target.

As speed reaches maximum, calibrate 10-15 seconds still far enough away from the base to do a 3rd calibration.  Then get into your nose gunner position if you cant see your target from your bombsight. 

Final adjustment then calibrat 12-15 seconds (or 20 if you have time).  Zoom in and drop right onto target.  You should be 98% accurate.  I take 2000lbs and salvo 1 for hangers.

Remember, calibrate as close to your target as possible to insure accuracy.  The farther away you are, the more you risk speed/directional change that will throw off your calibration.  This helps me be dead on 99% of the time.
