      There are at least 2 distinct positions amongst all the planes in the game...YOU are incorrect. I followed a websites advise on bombing sites and they were spot on.

      Of course I cannot find that link anymore to determine which planes used which section...but I do remember there being at least 2 completely different spots.

      Found the link, but it's dead:


      The F-18 is most definately NOT the same position as the J-10 or F-35 for bombing.

            Well, that is odd, because I use the markings on my screen for all jets, and they work spot on. The 2 distinctive places you speak of must be the general cruise speed drop spot, and a 600 KPH low velocity vertical drop spot, which is situated below F35B curved line. I never miss (unless target is on the move and I have to make up for the movement aswell) with my method, with any plane. Lenght from central aiming reticle DOES work for all planes. In fact, theres a spot, which lets you aim with it at most angles, excluding the direct dive (70-90 degree descent), at most above cruise speeds and at almost all drop off distances. Again, same for all jets, even bombers.

              Get up to a certain altitude, then drop down and release. If you're low to the ground, watch for tree's and building that might shielf the target. The release a few hundred yards away.

              As someone said earlier, its all about practice practice practice.

                make sure you practice on SP before trying it on a MP server. that way, you save embarassment and frustration from the players who lose the e war with you.

                  wooow, i dont get it, can u explain? so u drop when the target hits the curve line, right before the curve line or after the curve line? and wats the lenght from central aiming reticle?

                    Horizontal low altitude bomb drop at normal/maximum cruise speed. F35B vertical line tip.
                    Ascending drop up to "divebomb" angles, between aiming reticle and horizontal low altitide bomb drop spot.
                    Divebomb, at less than 90 degree angle, just right under the aiming reticle.

                    Aiming reticle is that circle, little thingy in the center of the screen.

                    The interesting thing to note is that although bombs drop depends on speed and angle, theres a spot on the HUD at which dropping will always succeed spot on regardless of the angle (speed must me max, but with no afterburner), up until divebombing angles.

                    Another interesting thing is, although jets have different HUDs, that spot is the same for all jets.

                      id go with the curve line that every jet hud has. unless ur telling me that u dont use that curve line to bomb. witch i doupt so my second guess will have to be the recticle. interesting stuff there.

                        Practice in single player on Operation Clean Sweep, you get a bomber and can get plenty of practice.

                          This is a huge point. Make sure you don't pull up until you release your bombs. If you start pulling up while your bombs are still dropping they'll go all over the place.

                                The areas are marked using F35B HUD. The spot around the vertical line tip is for HORIZONTAL (non-dive) LOW ALTITUDE (Below 100, usually somewhere close to 50) CRUISE SPEED (around 900 KPH) drop.

                                The area above it is for descending approach, up to divebombing angles, at any altitude, even 300. Suggested angle is about 30-50 degrees.
