Hi all..I downloaded the manual and have looked all through it but can't find anything on dive bombing with a fiter/attack bird such as the F4u. I did find info on buff bombing wherein key f6 enables the bomb site and 'o' allows look down. Neither works with the Hog. I tried bombing with the gunsight but always hit way short of target when in a aoa of -1. Is dive bombing a Kentucky windage sort of thing, is there a dive bomb sight or if nothing else..what am I doing wrong? Thnx...Ramesis :confused:

Hiya,
Send me a email, I will send you a gunsite that you can use for bombing. I'll respond to it tonight when I get home.

When i dive bomb i dive 0 G to drop, you can hit right on the money. You just need to remeber your bombs will hit where your plane would crash if you let it hit the ground, dont use your aim points. Knowing that i normaly let go of the stick before i drop so i can get my true heading.
Also make sure you kill your throttle before you nose down or you will be going to fast to aim effectively.
when i dive bomb i dont normaly miss, if you need a hand catch me in the MA and ill help you out.
Also try the p47-30 for dive bombing, its the best dive bombing AC in the game. The dive flaps help out tremendously.
<S>! and good luck Ramesis

In the hawg about half way between sight & top of dash is close if your close to a 45 degree dive.
Kentucky windage works for most of us, or try rips sight.
Rockets tend to drop a bit more than bombs ussually.
