AR 234 and JU 88 Divebomb sight's

[brady]

In so much as I understand it, we are going to get a revamped bomber system that is going to model leval bombing more like it was in real life, in other words not to accurate. The Ar 234 and The JU 88 were both capable of dive bombing which greatly improved thier accuracery, what we are missing are the sights for this, ya I know use the force, This brings us to the rear sight on the Arado Ar 234 which was fore the guns and also could be swoung forward to sight for the dive bombing computer. I dont supose modeling this feature would be to much to ask for?

How did the Ar 234 dive bomb without dive brakes?  If we tried that in AH we would end up making a spectacular fireball.

Cut throttle and not go in at 500 mph like some others do.

It performed high spead shalow angle dive bombing, hence the computer.

 kinda reminds me of a movie I saw the other day. Speading in to the target ship shaking from the compreshion effect's, the creaking and moaning form the airframe as it aproaches it's threshold of endurance, bad guys closing on your 6, your rear gun's disabled because the designe crew ran out of coffe on friday, and all you have to gide you is the force....

Ok, but that sounds like glide bombing, not dive bombing.

The dive bombing sight would be cool.  I'd also like to see an attempt at actually modeling a Norden sight.  Gyro gunsights would be fun too.  All of them would take some analysis and research to get it right though.

I'd settle for a couple of rear guns on the Arado.
