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
You obviously didnt watch the video and no you didnt kill me.

At first I thought this was a violation of posting rule 10 or 3, but I see I was wrong....  This was the thread I was thinking about. http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,221368.0.html (circa 2007).

I am guessing HTC isn't going to make any changes on this one...
