Bombsights
« on: July 13, 2010, 10:22:56 PM »
I was thinking... The bomb sight crosshairs in the bomb sight looks... Well plain. Maybe we could have new advanced looking crosshairs, and lens blur around the insides of the bomb sight, More 3D..And It would be also helpful if there was a true air speed indicator where if you use your HAT key to the left or right and see it right next to you with out having to click the e6b. :salute

Although the game's E6B provides you with the information you need, it would be interesting for realism's sake to have airspeed & altimeter functional at the bombardier's station.

If you look at the B-25C in F6 and look left, you will see the items that you want Thndregg.



I suspect we will see more of this type of detail when the bombers get redone the next time.

If we want more realistic in the bomb sight then we need to go back to the way it was......  With the laser guided bombs we have now E6B isn't even needed.

Actually, the laser targeting we have now is helped a lot by E6B

I have not once used the E6B on a bomb run and I dont have a problem hitting anything.  The old bomb site was much harder to use, im sure thats why is was simplified to what we have now.
