Title: My first succesful mission!
Post by: icejaff on September 09, 2010, 11:16:13 PM
I took of in an bomber/attack with 12 bombs in each one, flying in formation.
We attacked an enemy tank facility taking off from a1, and where able to shoot down to spitfires.
I then landed the plane without a problem.
Only thing that would of made mission bett would be if we hit something with the bombs :P

Congratulations!  :aok

Keep practicing, take your time to make that calibration count.  Open up your clipboard and open up your E6B.  When the "climb rate" = 0, you speed has settled out and a roughly 10 second calibration will generally get you a good calibration.  Keep your E6B open up in your bomb-sight and you can compare speeds to make sure you are calibrated nicely.  Drop at the leading edge of the target to spread your salvo out across the target.  Ba-Boom.

Heh!  Good work, icejaff!  :aok

The most-important thing, though, if if you had a good time, which sounds like it was the case.

Heck, if you got an offline mission to load and fly then you are way more successful than I to begin with. And since you even built it yourself ( Congrats! )
you've done something only a handful of us here have done.  Keep on trucking!

Sounds like you're doing well starting out. Bombers are fun in their own way, and with patience & practice you'll get better. :)
