Title: Bomb strikes missing
Post by: Ripsnort on June 09, 2000, 10:58:00 AM

Beef and a few of us were  in B17's last  night, 8k over field.  Pickled 3 salvo with .05 delay, cross hairs bingo center of hangars, one bomb always misses, FALLING SHORT! not LONG.  Bug in bombsite?  I have several folks that complained of same thing.
oops, wrong forum, sorry.

Yes this has happened to me alot. I now drop my bombs when the crosshairs are almost past the hanger, but my bombs end up falling long of their target rather than short.

I noticed this too, Rip.  Last night I flew my first run in a B-17 since the beta days.  I dropped 6 bombs on six targets, and only 1 hit home.  I was only at 18k as well.
