New bombing explained(with pictures)

[Kweassa]

Observe the results. Now, based on the picture, imagine what it would be like if there were just two more pilots, each in a 3-plane bomber box, to my left and right.

 It would have smothered the whole area with bomb craters.

 ...

 The new bombing model is not "inaccurate". The only way it would be inaccurate is if the people using it does not know how to do it correctly, that's all there is to it.

 I reckon try practicing a bit before commenting about it.... and once more, FORGET what you were used to. This is something new.

 Adapt to it.

Excellent tutorial which works.

I find the hardest part is keeping the crosshairs aligned on a single point for 2 seconds but that will come with practice.

To practice bombing runs I suggest downloading the Germany map. If you switch to rook and go to A48 you can select the NW runway and you get an "Airstart" at 20K. The other bombers in your formation don't seem bothered at all and I have not lost one yet using this.

Do you have to mark the target when calibrating?  Or can it be any point on the ground?

Thanks for taking the time to post such a detailled explanation.

Gonna try this straight away

Just a couple of short sentences in the Help file could have made this all clear. But never mind - we have 1.10 now
