Title: JABO Accuracy
Post by: Red Tail 444 on July 17, 2002, 10:50:48 AM
has anyone noticed, or is it me, that divebombing is less accurate than before? I drop eggs on VHs and GVs with nearly 100% accuracy prior to 1.10...now, it's like rolling the dice..I drop at about 5-7k, so drag / wind shouldnt affect..or does it?

To me nothing has changed. When I miss with my eggs I know why, it's because I screwed up the delivery, nothing more.

I have noticed a difference!  I don't know if the accuracy is less or not, but the aim points have definitely changed.  Bombs now fall way too short in my opinion.  It is as if the drag is only applied in the forward direction.  In reality, which this is not, drag would also apply in the vertical direction, increasing the time of flight and allowing the bomb to make greater forward progress before hitting the ground.

But, of course, I'm comparing the old bomb model to the new one.  Who's to say the old model was right?  I suspect once you learn the new aim points with this model, you will be back to the JABO accuracy you enjoyed in earlier versions.

Everything is the same for me: I still can't hit anything :)

It feels different... had to move my aim point lower on the ladder on my sight.  Still seems to random sometimes.

sounds like the air drag they added to the bombs...

yep, it's the new drag on the bombs. if you dive steep enough, you wont notice it, but if you liked a shallower approach, you'll need to re-adjust.

the dive-bomb-sight, in the TA or offline helped me to learn this fine art again.
