Lancaster Divebombers

[FLOOB]

after witnessing a lancaster killing tanks divebombing in low speed high angle dives, and tanks that are somehow killed by bombs that don't hit them, I was going to complain about it but then I thougt wtf for, nothing is going to change.

Do know that Lancasters were used by 617 squadron in high angle diving attacks in 1943?



Do you know that a bomb landing near a tank could and did hammer the crew inside and could flip tiger tanks?

Why does aces high allow players like dolby?

Dolby may not always be the friendliest fellow in game, but unlike most of you he will put up a fight and provide me with my fifteen bucks worth of entertainment. I'll take an As$*$@! who fights over one hundred friendly and outgoing ack huggers and runtards.

On the subject of divebombing lancs..

I'll be happy to support your wish to eliminate this somewhat silly practice when the broken GV mechanics are fixed.

a formation of 3 Lancasters would not have...ahhhhhnvm

[FLOOB]

Did you know that the tiger tank in that photo was not missed by a bomb? That is not what I would call near, I would call that a hit.

Define high angle, like split-S dive or high angle for a lancaster?

'High angle dives"????   Please elaborate.  I want to learn more of this.

I do know that both the Lancaster and Ju88 did shallow dive bomb runs (no sight used) against static defenses/targets early in the war.  But actual high angle dive bomb vs a specific target?  Inquiring minds want to know!

[Vinkman]

Are you suggesting that the bombs not release beyond a certain angle? What's the angle? Or that the wings should break off?

Can you elaborate on what the 'correct way'  is?

[Rich46yo]

Were it up to me no 4 engine bomber would be able to bomb anyway but level.

To think it was common practice for the RAF to dive bomb precious and expensive lancasters to destroy tanks is insane. If it even happened at all. I think Lancstukas are one of the gamiest aspects of Aces High.

Dolby has never struck me as anything but a nice guy, and very formidable opponent.

[Gemini]

Dolby is probably the nicest Welsh person to play Aces High, and one of the best sticks to ever come out of Llanfairfechan

[FLOOB]

What the hell does dolby have to do with this?
