Step by step if this doesn't work for u see me in arena.
based on using default keys U Y.
1. Fly formation bombers more bang for the buck.
For cities flying below 20k I use 500's
For hangers 1000's
For Hq 1000's
For Cv's lanc's 2000's or b17's 1000's
Some of you say you lose drones for no reason, to keep from losing drones untill your in level flight only use 45% maifold (don't use full speed until level and on course to target)
2. As Soon as your bomber leaves field and u set auto climb, Set bomb alt of target. This done by hitting F6 (bombsite) then esc to bring up map then hit U then left click with mouse on target, Then press U to turn off Calibration. In the left hand top corner u should see red letters with alt in text. Now if bombing city make sure u click on city not field, As some cities higher and lower than airfields. The reason for setting bombalt for target now, is its one less thing U have to do over enemy base or HQ.
3. when you get to about 4 to 5 miles out target line bomber up by using map. (his will get you close) once you are on line to target Put bomber in slight dive to 205mph B17 230mph lanc's if below 20k if above 25k its 175mph for 17's and 195 for lanc's. Then level off for about 30 sec's. Now your ready to calibrate.
4. Calibration hit F6 then U find a target on ground your Crosshairs r going to pass over. ( one you can see easy, You can zoom in if needed doesn't need to be target your hitting CAN be anything on ground or even a wave) when Crosshairs get over spot press Y holding Y down and using slight adjustments with JS keep Crosshairs on same spot count to 10 to 30 secs ( you can do this in 5 secs if in hurry but recommend 20 or 30)while holding Y down. Let go of y gently let go JS and press U. Congradulations you r calibrated
5. You can move plane anytime as long as you level off at calibration speed. you can make small adjustments for linning up target, If in doubt or you get Moving to rapidly message then recalibrate. there is no need to recalibrate on flipping back to base as long as you get to calibration speed. If not under attack recalibrate if you want to be safe. Secret is Speed speed speed. once you calibrate chk what speed your flying at.
6. To turn bombers fast without losing them
Your turn should be all done with rudders. once you turn Dive a little to get bomber back to level calibration speed.
7. Imagine city with Vertical & horz lines 0 1/4 1/2 3/4 1.0. This cuts city into 1/4's.
make first pass on 1/4 line droppping 1 500 on o line, 1/4 line 3/4 line and on 1. line (remember in formation your dropping really 3 500's each line) this can be done with just 3 bombs instead of 4 by hitting 0 1/2 1 line. but 4 is easier ( bombing with 1000's hit o line half line and 1 line.)
second pass you fly over 3/4 line drop bombs on same lines 0 line 1/4 line 1/2 line and 1.0 line.
This will kill city in 2 passes with bombs left over for GV hanger or ? ( or incase you miss ) We all miss sometimes but usally its 1 building at most.
For HQ bombing calibration is same but use 1000's or larger as they are not effected as much by winds. always come to HQ from east to west if u can if coming from south or north make sure you drop bombs as bombite is on middle HQ). Drop 6 1000's on white HQ building) If in text bar U see 2 gun implacements and object destoryed congrats you killed radar. I like b17's for hitting HQ best defense is b17's, And have killed entire HQ twice with b17's but mostly only get 3 dars down.
For Cv's I use b17's 6 1000' salvo of 2. I line up on cv at 8 k alt Calibrate bombsite as above (except no target alt). I lead CV by 1 full length of carrier from front of cv. I drop all 6 1000's With the salvo of 2 it puts pattern out there that turning cv can still be sunk. I've only ran into 1 great cv driver asked his name but wouldn't tell me. when that happens u may need to hit it twice.
Remember with this system what ever ur xhair is on when u drop is what bombs hit. no need to guess or drop ahead xhair.
Anyone is welcome to come as my gunner and I'll walk you thru my steps on vox. I don't care if your Rook Bishop or Knight all are welcome.
MWaydo Thank you for teaching me how to bomb. Not sure if he's still here but he taught me to bomb cities, Which inturn I've taught others alot with great sucess but some avg....
p.s. fight 163's differant than regular planes. Start shooting 163.s from 1.5 works best for us 50 163's killed and counting
And if U see mitsu upping a rocket BAIL BAIL BAIL
