Mig-29 bombing

Re: Mig-29 bombing

I used to bomb using sights, if you get the technique down its accurate as hell. Also, 300 feet bomb drops can only be performed using sights and again are extremely accurate. But yeah, I do the regular "soften with cannon, drop one on pull up" and come back if I need to. Its intuitive though.

Re: Mig-29 bombing

If you bomb any of these ways other than bombing like the way i explained, you will not kill any apcs, or tanks. In addition, you will be flying flat and level for another jet to gun you out of the sky. It takes two bombs to kill an apc or tank, the rest of the stuff in the game you can hit with one bomb and it will suffice, but YOU WANT BOTH BOMBS IN THE FIGHTER TO HIT THE SAME SPOT!!!

I dont know who wrote up there to bomb using the bombsights but that is SO wrong, I've been doing this a long time and I'm very successfull at it, if you want to spectate me playing look me up on ubar through my stats, it should show what server I'm playing on. alternatively I'm either on winnipeg fragmax server, or drunken maters server.

You dont need to use ages to line up your target when you bomb with your HUD. You can come down from any altitude you like and at what angle you like and you'll still hit the target if you aim propperly.

And you dont need to drop both bombs to kill a tank. It only takes one bomb if you hit it on the top.

Look on this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRkdin3qz4w. This guy is using the HUD to bomb, do you see him using ages to line up his targets thus making himself volnerable for MG fire?

Also take a look at this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRJ2W-HS9AI

And this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhvQ_z2okg0

That last video is just shwing the basics. But the first one is showing the true potencial:)

Also that in that last video that guy doesnt dive bomb wich is much better that flying strait. When flying strait you should use the lower part of the HUD to bomb, but when dive bombing you should use that vertical thing in a F35 and F18.

What part of the vertical thing? the top? cos on the first video in your post he's definitely releasing bombs when the target lines up with that vertical line you mention but it's difficult to see exactly where along that vertical line.

On the top of it. Just pause the video when he drop a bomb and see where the target is.:)

Re: Mig-29 bombing

OOooo ok i'll try that... it works no matter what your angle of descent?

Re: Mig-29 bombing

Search GOOGLE video or youtube for PlaneWhores roundlong videos. Reverse engineer his method, happy fragging. Also check MetallicaGuitarrists roundlong video. Pay attention at how they approach, gun, drop. Reverse engineer the method and use it whichever way you want.

Their videos show the most cost effective method.

Yep, well pretty much. You just have to dive towards the target and fly at full speed. Try to switch camera angle to rear after dropping one so you see where it lands.

Do you have some links? Coz i searched for PlaneWhores and MetallicaGuitarrists on both Google and Youtube and didnt find any vids...

Re: Mig-29 bombing

bombing with each of the jets is actually different with each type. The closest the bombs can be is from the f-18 and the furthest apart is the eurofighter and next is the j-10. When you bomb its better to dive down at about 45 degrees and drop them just a bit ahead of the target. Remember to imagine that the bomb will go with the momentum of the angle you drop it. It has about 5 seconds or so until it just drops straight down so dropping them at nearly 100m from the target is ideal.

Now if you are worried about getting chased by a jet, the best solution is after you rearm, fly straight up to an altitude of 400m+ and look at the map/uavs for targets, usually the commander likes to put UAVs or spot the most heavily populated areas

Re: Mig-29 bombing

Been trying that bombing technique on an empty server, it is indeed ridiculously accurate, at most speeds and altitudes. Yay!

Re: Mig-29 bombing

No PW videos online anymore, which is a shame. You can find Metallicas video under his own signature.

Was testing this technique was last night on Dalian Plant, ended up 29-3.
However the enemy pilots must have been Uber Noobs because they couldn't shoot me down with their J10s.

After watching that i've got a question: Do you EVER bomb?

Like I said...

That was an old video, and on wake, you can't just bomb right off the bat with J-10's in the air or you will get raped.
