"Bomb Clearances angles."

Dive 30 deg.
Climb 20 deg.
Bank 10 deg..........(With S.B.C.25 deg.).

Lyric this is what I was looking for. So does this mean the bomb will impact the plane or another bomb or the rack etc? 

How is this modeled?  If so, how? I.E. [the bomb does not release]

It is not modeled in AH.

Get rid of F3 mode in pilot's position.

No.

This is what the fork I'm talking about.

No, it's not kewl. It's lame and I wish it would be changed.

At least have the patience to wait on AH3 / Revamped AH2, when all these problems will be addressed. It's foolish to keep making wishes and comments like these when it has already been announced that HTC is working on things that will address the problems you just listed.

i'm not the one making wishes mannn,just conversaten--and i can wait.the OP is the one with the thread..i'm just the one griping about the phrase..broken mechanics--

wish i could make a bomber do that----heck i'd like to make my fighter do that.

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.

i witnessed last night what your talking about..knight's a7-town was flat wf--airfield flat-everything burning...nothing left to destroy-lancstuka still diving on base dropping bombs..diving-climbing-twisting turning--what i call sky danceing..low speed--NEVER!!! lost a drone-v6 was next-low level bombing which is okay-but i hit lead bomber 6 times with a manned gun-at least i saw 6 sparkies--never lost a part-never smoked.maybe it was just bad shooting.

This last month I've noticed it taking more 37mm from the manned field guns to cause any real damage to bombers. In many cases I'm still getting the kills but, only after several fighters continue chewing on the bombers. The sparkling light shows are still as good as ever......

bombs released at about a 35 degree point... was the nose down  at 90 at some point...sure but that does not mean it bombed you at 90 degrees


if your mad about the fact i bombed you(which i think i have this spot on as this post was made not 15minutes after i killed you in said lancs)

for your answer... i killed engines dropped flaps flew about 3000yards over you...rolled it... started to pull up dropped bombs around a 20 degree angle as i was around -1500 on the dive indicator

i also salvo'd 5 at 0.33 delay so no chance at a near miss


as for your orginal post... "lanc stukas" are merely something of the peoples imagination you can do it with any plane... 10-15 degree dive is all you need but most people say its 45-70 il simplify

people:   45°     70°         90°
actuality: 10-15°  20-30°   45-65°

this goes hand and hand with many things... as for the record if you drop bombs at 90° they fall with you...meaning if you keep that dive for 1000feet and touch one you blow yourself up again makin it very hard to pull off....it can be done yes... but most drops occur between 15-25degrees

Based off of the Lancaster handbook he has a point with anything steeper than 30 degrees in a dive.

i think people who dive bomb in bombers are skill less in level bombing--they miss there target so they drop down and dive on it..
