Need help with bombing

[Crossis]

I could really use some help as far as bombing. I'm a great pilot whether its in the chopper or air to air combat but i'm just not used to BF2's Bomb HUD. I don't understand the relationship of the speed and the placement of the markers on the HUD. If someone could explain to me how to in a sense "aim the bomb" It would be much apprecciated.

Thanks

Re: Need help with bombing

get to 500+ feet.


dive straight down


release bombs ~50-100 ft up


if the target is moving, lead the target.

Get a joystick, or map one of your mouse keys to "pull up".

As for the pic, your approach is just perfect to bail over the carrier. Not much bombing there.

Re: Need help with bombing

heh just got a joystick. But I know it is possible to do bombing runs without dive bombing. I did it all the time in bf1942 but I saw this guy today that was just dropping bombs pretty much right on top of tanks without doing dive bombing but just flying right over head

Check another bombing topic, Ive explained how to do horizontal drops.

Re: Need help with bombing

Yeah you can do horizontal drops, but they are way harder.

Just get a little bit of an angle, not straight horizontal.


The best tip I can give is to drop the bombs early... dont drop them like 5 ft above the target.. lol.
