Bombs

Can anyone tell me how the ballastics are modelled in bombs.

Specifically about the vertical motion.

IE, I wanna know if I can dive-toss?

The dive toss most people refer to as the "idiot's loop toss". You can do it, even hit structures with enough practice. Back when A1 was at 10k, I found a way to practice this. Grab any plane from an elevated field, load bombs, and fly out just below field level. Once you hit 300mph turn around and head back, again slightly below the field. Arm the bomb just before you reach the field, and start a radical pull up. Drop before you pass 45º and pull a half barrel roll to the right. This puts you on an escape course.

Since A11 is elevated, as is A24, you can practice this at either field. Or fly to your country's city offline and practice there. It may not be elevated, but it's hard NOT to miss anything.
