    How to bomb?

    I fail at bombing. What are some tips? where do I aim on the big line of the bombing screen. And how do i compensate for speed like say i see some enemies running around a flag cap coming up...what would be the best way to bomb them. And what are the different ways to aim the different bombs? and any extra tips and help appreciated...

      I suck at bombing, because my timing is horrible, and that I'm not much of a pilot.:p

      Is it easier to bomb with a joystick? (I fly w/ a keyboard and mouse)

      btw, what is dive bombing?

        dive bombing is good since it decreases the distance between ur two bombs, so if u do a straight down dive bombing run, u can take out tanks pretty easily w/ ur two bombs but its also hard to do. best thing to do tho is just get in a bomber (su 34 / F15) u prob will never miss with those.

            Just practice allot, there is no big secret. You can practice on co-op mode on clean sweep.

              for US and MEC jets, the place where your target needs to be is right near the top of the line. And I HEARD for the Chinese jet, you need to have your target right at the bottom of the line. I don't use the Chinese jets much, so I don't know.

              Bombing is really easy to master once you get the hang of it. You definately don't need a joystick to be a good bomber. When it comes to avoiding other jets, just fly high and only come down when you're ready to bomb. Once you fire, go way back up again until you have to reload. "way back up" as in 500 - 600 alt.

              Also, the 3D HUD is your best friend. Especially when you're flying at 500 - 600 alt and you can't see the ground.

                    If it's any consolation, I'm a crap pilot too.

                        yeah there's one good youtube video out there, but for me it took lotsa practice & i still dont consider myself "good" just avg. but i've found go high, locate y0ur target, go down at about a 45deg, pick ur sight , wait till your like allmost on top of them (altitude i mean) release, pull up hard, do a rear chase view to see whre they hit & compensate:nod: dive bombing straight down works, but not as good i don think, just takes practice.:salute:

                            Watch this video

                            Watch it carefully *hint* look at how the player uses his reticule
                            Then go on an empty server and practice what you just watched.

                              its where you have an (electric) guitar and when you play a note - can be anywhere but i prefer 3rd fret on G string and then while that note is ringing you push down on the tremelo (whammy bar) - works better with floyd rose - that keeps the sustain. and that motion (the pushing down of the trem) makes a waahhhhhhhhhhhh noise...thats called dive bombing ^^ you can see Herman Li - from dragonforce doing it to the extreme, hes crazy though as we all know
