I've also made a reticle for use with Japanese planes.

Yesterday, about ten minutes after I was appointed commander and lord chief general of the entire Knight armed forces (by virtue of being the only Knight online) I noticed a ground vehicle at my town. Not wanting Starbucks to fall and not being able to inform a specialist I dropped two bombs on him from my Ki-84. I'd not done that before and much to my surprise, one must've gone right down his chimney, because I killed him :rofl
I'm not sure what I did or even if I could repeat it, i just pulled out of the shallow dive I'd used to spot him and used the force to let them go. Only one could've hit, the Ki-84 bombs looked pretty small and the vehicle said M4 - that's a Sherbet tank I think. How does that work, by hitting the top armour of the tank which is presumably thinner?
Inspired by the possibility to enhance Kilroy's gameplay, as an example, I was wondering what fighter bombing techniques people use. Is skip bombing or near-vertical dive bombing possible to aim?
Is there minimum heights for fusing I think I once heard?
How do you 'aim' so-to-speak with no bombsight? Is it just instinctive with practice?
Does the bomb actually have to hit the vehicle or can the ground explosion do the job if it's close enough, like the rocket splash in Quake?
Ah thank you Fugitive that was very comprehensive. I thought the TA used to have targets on the ground once but I think they've been removed?
Ah thank you Fugitive that was very comprehensive. I'd have liked to try skip bombing, that's too bad. Has anyone tried toss, especially over-the-shoulder in Aces High? I read American planes had a Toss Bomb Computer in the late 50s.
Very interesting topic I haven't investigated yet :banana:

I’ve found that when my heals are pointing at the target, the release is more accurate.
In no time you'll be taking out GVs like Iowa Hawkeye fans attack the goalposts after a road win against the Minnesota Golden Goofers.
Generally a steeper dive is a more accurate bomb.
The most important factor is practice.
Having done it real world, both of these tips are the key to accurate bombing.
The most important factor is practice.
Great tip, thank you.
That's one of the funniset things I've ever seen. What do they do with the goalposts after they get them outside?
bomb****ing is a whole new world, Next you'll be asking how to use a bombsight and capturing a field. :banana:
Hurri 2D has to be the gentleman's plane for griefing GV's especially when ords are down.
OFF LINE- in TA exchange the offline drones to TANKS.
The float too the right, I believe is Torque Effect.
Great idea!
I'll do some tests. Aware of Kentucky Windage from watching Hickock45 videos :banana: :salute
How's this for Kentucky windage in Aces High?
Taking 1000kg bombs in the Tu-2 almost eliminates the necessity of aiming when dive bombing GVs in the Tu-2 :devil
