Bombing Question For ALF

[muckmaw]

Alf-

Was over at Combat Hangar looking for the AHII news...that has yet to show up..

I decided to read your bombing tutorial. I've been having an accuracy problem lately, so I thought I could pick up a tip.

I see you drop a  stick of 500's in a slavo of 3 with a delay of.3.

Is this enough to destroy a FH? I normally drop a stick of 3 500's with a delay of .05 and aim right for the FH itself.

Does your method work against undamaged FH's?

Finally, you calibrate directly on the target for 30 seconds or more. I used to do this and was quite accurate, but was informed you can calibrate anywhere on the map. Do you swear by using the target itself to calibrate?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Muck,
A delay of even .35 will work 95% of the time on healthy FHs

You can calibrate on anything in the terrain, even water if you can find a high contrast spot but I like gun emplacements best.

30 seconds is great, 15 seconds is usually good enough and 10 seconds is minimum but it all depends on how well you've set up the run.

muck..im sad u dint ask me...


i usally xcal 2o seconds...nails em good

The delay of .3 is to allow for some fudge room.  Truth be told I usually only do a salvo of 2 with a delay of .1     That works for me because Im a bomber dweeb.  2000-2500  lbs is enough to kill a fh....and 2 bombs x 3 bomber is 3000 lbs....more than enough.  For higher drops (over 10k above target), I do usually up it to salvo 3 to make up for the extra drift.   As far as calibration...I use the target most times unless Im under the wind layer...a 5• course corection will make a huge diference in the bomb path...so Ive got to be in visual rang anyway.  Under the wind layer...makes no diference (shoreline is good).  Just remember to set the proper target altitude for your drop.
