Good oppotunity for 'pathfinder' style stuff :)

If Pilot A has calibrated his sight correctly and ALL other bomber pilots flying with him in close formation Drop on his command - will those with uncalibrated sights miss by a wide margin or hit in the same general area as Pilot A?

They will hit in the same general area. If that bombing method is employed, the other pilots do not even have to calibrate their bombsights or even be in the bombardier position. This is provided that they are in close formation at the same speed and make a simultaneous drop. "

I think this would be a good idea. I aint much of a bomber especially now with the new system I havent even tried it yet but as far as formation goes if it puts an unarmed plane in the air, Im all for it. And you bomber guys get a lead ship which is great.

:D
