Hi-Alt Bombing

il say simple

take a bomber form and drop 1 1000ib and of course all of your drones well drop one

and see how much it destroys

now take a bomber form and drop a 250ib and see how much it destroys

if making 1 bomber pass then take the 1000ibs if making more then 1 pass take the smaller bombs
known as Arctic in the main

" its ussuallu at 16k and is in a northly direction "

My thinking was the wind arrow describes where  the wind is from.
So wind is from the north at 16k alt at 30knts.
I tried this setting up wing like shown in MA and using airshow smoke. The smoke drifted south when I tried it.

Try setting the wind at ground level and pointing a carrier in the direction you think should be into wind.  Then try taking off..... I think you'll find the arrow shows the direction the wind is flowing in.  :)

Lancaster III

I've flown all of the "true" bombers on offline and I personally like the Lancaster.  The opportunity to carry a 4000lb bomb and multiple 500lber's makes it very likeable.  :aok

Granted, online it probably sucks due to the limited defense, but it has more then the German counterpart.

sonar i also like the lanc best.  3 things though to keep in mind.  the lanc dosen't like to get much above 25k.  i've had her to 27k and the last 2k was really hard lol.

the 303's are a bit of a prob.  as well as less defensive guns.

ah shucks, i forgot the 3rd.

on the plus side, at lvl flight the lanc is only bout 5 mph slower than the b-17 heavy or light.
