    Jet bombing

    Didnt see a recent thread on this, sod ecided to make one.

    With the fighter jets, they fire 2 bombs at once, which spread out, more so depending how steep your jet is before releasing the bomb.

    This is by no means the best way to bomb but if you arnt succeeding, this is a fairly reliable way before you learn otherwise.

    I find when bombing tanks or apc, the best approach is to fire your cannon (gun) at them from about 90 degrees angle.
    Then right before you pull up to stop crashing, release both bombs.

    The reason this works well is because:
    -The bombs, dont know if its first one or second one, but one of them lands fairly square onto the target you were shooting at with your gun.
    -You know when to drop, if too early, you can tell, if too late you die lol.
    -The cannon on the plane does a lot of damage to tanks and apc. You can slower an apc to half health with the cannon alone, leaving an easy job for the two bombs. Im assuming it must take 1/4 health off a tank but it still is a large amount.

    Also when using you cannon, lead your target a little if it is moving, it is easily possible to kill cars instantly with just the cannon, but you must lead tha target.

    Hope this helps until you manage to perfect bombing

    You can also only drop 1 bomb once. When you go to resupply, try to supply only one bomb. Drop that bomb and resupply all bombs. It's now on 'single bomb'

        aim with your planes gun, at the target, line the hud up with the target by where your gun fires out, just make sure you fire your bombs just before you pull up to ensure a fairly decent drop.

        Also yeah the single bomb drop works well with this method too.

          The HUD on the F18 is the same as the others, why would it be elsewise?
