Title: quick buff question
Post by: SpinDoc1 on August 23, 2002, 10:12:22 AM

Hey guys,

When you calibrate the bombsight, all things being normal, can you alter your left to right course? I tried it offline and for some reason the bombs landed short. Or do you need to be aligned perfectly with the target and not move a bit once you're on track to bomb? Thanks!

I've found that minor course adjustments were acceptable.  However, if you make any kind of course adjustment...I'm going out on a limb and saying more than 10 degrees...you'll have to recalibrate.  Also, you need to take wind into account when making your adjustments.

Bombing is certainly not an exact science.  That's why I just salvo up everything and let em rip :)

You can turn, BUT if your speed or altitude change, your calibration is screwed.  The only safe way to turn is to do it from the bombsight, dont try and do it from the cockpit or your alt and speed will be off.
