Title: Low Level Bombinggroups
Post by: Captain Hook on November 03, 2018, 06:53:43 AM
My question is on low level bombing:
At 50' above water I notice my two drones are significantly higher then 100'. Will I still be available on enemy radar?

No, only the lead is counted. And that is in everything.

....and you do know that all bombs must travel 500 feet to arm. That is in any direction.

500ft will get you killed by you're own bomb.
the bomb has to travel 1000fy straight down or at an angle like slinging it :old:

 I know you werent asking this, per say....but since it was mentioned.   :uhoh Pythagoreas...figured it out...that Hypotenuse thing you learned in school. Altitude and Range and Speed all figure in. When I bomb Gvs or hangers. Usually its 35 degree above 300mph drop when I see icon. Dont miss much :uhoh Hangers you can come in Higher/Steeper then again my set up, is to fire Rockets AND Bombs same pass! Level bombing will be just simple Pythagorean Geometry...once speed is stable. Most guys I see doing this are just CARPET Bombing Towns or possible GVS...not much skill involved IMO :uhoh If you want to kill GVS practice dive bombing OffLine. You can enable the Dive Bomb Precision aid.
