Bomber attacks
« on: December 29, 2011, 11:28:16 AM »
Short film showing some fighter vs bomber action. Although not clear-cut textbook examples the film show the basics of how to minimize exposure to defensive fire. To people new to air combat this should be useful in showing the technique. The sound timing is just a bit off on the YT rendition but we'll have to live with that.

Not much of a choice in FSOs but it's all in good fun, I think that's obvious.  :)

Let's hope we get the update soon! Can't wait to get that 410.

I promise you won't have such luck against me in my bombers. Then again you won't find me that low in buffs either. Either way, good video and good shooting jg11! <S>

Nice video~ but too much time hanging around 6 o'clock to get away unscathed from a decent gunner<S>

Thanks for feedback, and glad you enjoy the film.

Yes I'm fully aware that a good gunner would have nailed me on most of those passes. Which is why the film description says it's not textbook example. However I made the film to show how to attack, more extreme angles and higher speeds have to be used vs better gunners. It's interesting how you develop a feel for how good your opponent is both in maneuvering and gunnery. These attacks were fairly relaxed and admittedly somewhat sloppy. The first pass is always nervous as you don't know yet what to expect for accuracy of return fire.

Nice film.

I prefer the head on high alpha or high angle off pass. Downside is you have less than a second to fire.
