In Smkns screenshot his airplane is not at full speed for that altitude. All Im going to say.

 I don't know.  I  upped my first 29 the other night climbed to 29,000 and hit everything I dropped on almost perfectly. 4 targets 4 calibrations.   And again the other day same result...    I will say I think it's harder to get a good drop going that fast at that alt but not enough I would complain about it but I think I would recommend taking the bigger bombs because being just slightly off at that alt and speed, if your going for a specific hanger or something you might want the blast radius to help make up for any imperfections in your calibration...   

  Hmmm think I'll go take up another and have another look just in case.

Unless this is some joke I'm missing all I'm going to say is that it doesn't matter that his plane isn't at full speed. His calibration is perfect yet the training bombsite is showing his main site is off.

When I fly any bomber, B29's included, I always throttle back once I reach the altitude I want to achieve. I only run full power when I'm under attack, climbing, or just wanting to get home.

No, the 29 is not an easy a/c to bomb with. You just don't up it go about your marry way and kill everything in sight. One of my squaddies has spent more than 20 hours(testing) flying the 29's and last night we took several out on a bomb run. Without his hints I don't think I could have hit anything on the map. Over all out of 2 bases( 1 small/ 1 med) we only missed one hanger from 25k. Jayhawk is right, rpm's, speed and many other factors come into play here. I have been in a bomber squad for over a year now and have hit my target 90% of the time with a 17, but with the 29's it's going to be a very long learning curve

The facts speak for itself. The B29's bombsite is NOT accurate.

The so called adults here that get their feelings hurt because they are too dense to comprehend, need to grow a thicker skin. I am not here to pet anyone, a spade is a spade.

^This - Truer words have never been spoken. Everyone automatically ASSUMES they are right 100% of the time, even after evidence proves them wrong. JUST like this thread. The screen shots PROVE the sweety is off yet people still say it's not. I think they don't understand the pictures...even with the big text on them. -_-;

We all know its off. we dont need the pictures to show us... I just want to know if it modeled this way or because of the rush to get it in its bugged..maybe ill troll the bug reports. supposedly this issue is in there somewhere.

Have you read the thread he started?   A couple people tried to help him, they were friendly and wanted to cover the basics first.  He immediately attacked everyone for "questioning his intelligence".  Someone needs to take a dose of his own medicine and not get their feelings hurt.

It 'matters' because unless he is using reduced power the green pointer should eventually move out in front of the bombsight. You cant see his power or rpm settings but you can see his calibrated speed which is a great deal more than the actual aircraft ever used btw (IRL they used a calibrated speed of 240 in which case he is 100pmh faster).

The only question I have are whether the green cross takes something else into account which is why it isnt agreeing with the bombsight? And given that this is consistent why are people still dropping on the crosshair?

I didn't say I was agreeing with his tact on the other thread, it's just EVERYONE on this bbs gets butt hurt when someone disagrees with them.
