    a question about bombing...

    if when im bombing i turn up or away suddenly just after ive pressed insert, will the bomb go wacky and not hit the target???

    oh yeah, also, does my altitude effect the accuracy?

          depends what jet your flying
          if it's the F35 then since there's only 2(or 1) bomb that drops then it wouldnt matter much. If it's the su-## (w/e) then it drops like 7 bombs and they dont all come out at the exact time when you press 0 so it will affect

            the dumb bombs can be affected by your maneuvering. Altitude can affect your personal ability to hit an object as you will have to do more guesswork. Dropping dumb bombs is a mix of art and practice. The laser guided bomb of the bombadier is an entirely different story.

              I still don't quite get what button you're trying to press.

              Anyways, if you turn up after you've dropped the bomb they wont "go all wacky", they'll just land on a different spot.

                0 ins on the num pad is the default button for bombs/missiles for those of us who can't afford a joystick.

                Just thought i'd clear that up.

                The main thing i find helps accuracy when bombing is your angle to the horizontal. If you come in divebomb style you've a better chance of hitting what you're aiming at. If you're flying more level, you have to time it right or the bombs can overshoot considerably. I like to come in quite steeply and drop the bombs at a medium height, leaving time to pull up, if you have a lot of airspeed the will hit the ground pretty sharply even from a fair height.
