Amazing bombing ability of HomerS
« on: May 04, 2018, 09:30:18 AM »
    Arado Ar234 at 9400 feet doing 397mph, scores a direct hit on a carrier while it is turning.  with a plane like that the Germans should have won the war.  The Mitchell was sent to hit bridges " static target" at alts from 8 to 10 feet and had a less than 10% success rate in squadron strength.  Have a Blast.

ALT-F4 for laser guided bombs....didn't you know that?
About as amazing as any bomber in the game dropping pin-point accurate bombs from 30k.

Did he do it once or 10 times in a row?

Maybe they should have tried flying over the target instead of driving.  :devil

What is the issue? Everyone can do it. The problem you have is to predict the direction the carrier is going to turn. Level bombing is only a matter of physics. If you put the right input into the bomb sight the bombs will hit spot on. And since we know our exact Speed and altitude and are also flying in a standard atmosphere its quite simple compared to real life.

Not sure if this is a complaint about the plane, the pilot, the bombing in general or a case of passive-agressive "just saying"...  :noid

The Germans did win the war.  Haven't you been paying attention?

As a bomber pilot, I think too many are getting on this post. Ya it can be done but not easy. I respect RODBUSTR for speaking up and praising another pilot which I think is being missed here.  :salute ROBUSTR AND HomerS (even tho they are the enemy  :joystick:)
