Need help with bombing in planes

[shadowmafia]

I cant seem to judge how Im supposed to bomb in the jets. In Vanilla, we could at least have the rear view to see where bombs landed and adjust accordingly, but in PR I have no idea what Im doing. Anyone know of any good videos or tutorials for bombing?

I was surprised to find how nobody knew how to use the bombing hud...
Yes, the HUD is always correct, lol.

Wow I cant believe I never knew how the bomb HUD worked for BF2. Wow...just wow. I had always just dive bombed or learned about to bomb through trial and error (like in BF1942). Thanks for the vid. Now I have stuff to practice.

And yes ShadowMafia the bomb sights in PR are the same as BF2.

Re: Need help with bombing in planes

cool vid but does that always assume you are in level flight when you drop bombs as well does it acount for speed variations or does it assume you are at full throttle?

Only works if you are at constant full throttle speed. Also, you need need to either be perfectly level, or slightly angled down. I tried practicing it, and I can't get it right. It has to be PERFECT in order to hit like that. Also, I can't find his video on divebombing, or bombing over 150m. At the end of his videos it sais to reffer to them, but i don't think he made them, or maybe I missed it.

Re: Need help with bombing in planes

I don't have problems, my bombs don't miss.

Serioulsy, I even hit moving targets now.

As for spartan

Oh boy oh boy oh boy, I can't wait till the next update, and it's realy cool the one shot one kill .

What's the name of the night map where you attack the fortress at night with the cobras, tank ect....? Cause it could use some static AA. The Bradley's are good though. But static AA would make the cobras less godly...
