question for the jet jockeys

[imported_shadow2k1]

what is the best tip you can give me on bombing runs for hitting the targets?

[Ashdown]

Try not to be diving when you bomb, keep a level altitude on the run up. And don't rely on the bombing reticule, learn the distances you need to drop the bombs from. Once you learn that you are unstopable.

Right mouse button.

Come in at a slight angle, I find bombing while completely level is quite hard, especially to get the timing right.

In fact, I pretty well dive bomb if I want to be accurate, but it really depends on what I'm bombing and what I'm flying. I don't dive bomb in the 'bombers' (5-drop loads) but I do in the fighters (2 bomb loadout).

It's all just practice, practice, practice. Keep working on it!

Zoom out your mini-map and do not bomb any area with friendlys in it.

Bombing hints:
1-Setup a button on your joystick to look behind you. Every time you drop a bomb, look behind you to spot it. After some time, you'll find you can now hit targets very easily.

2-Set up your plane to drop one bomb. Do this by dropping all bombs, and then reload only one bomb. Drop that bomb, and from then on, always reload two bombs before you drop any. Dropping one bomb is highly accurate in comparison to two bombs, at least for me.

Couldn't have said that better, doing that was a huge help to me when I was learning the ropes.

If you're flying a dedicated bomber, get someone in the second seat with you. If the person is good a knows what they're doing, and if you fly fairly level so they can actually take a shot, not only will more kills be racked up, you'll also get the assist points.
