Plane Question

[HavanaAffair]

Hey, I was wondering if somebody could tell me how to use the bombs effectively with the planes. I've included a picture to show you. I usually keep the centre line vertical and in the middle and drop a bomb when the bottom lines are over a targeted E but I never seem to hit.

Also could you tell me if when you drop a claymore, if you die do they disappear or do they stay?

Many thanks

Claymores, I think, disappear after 30-60 seconds.

After you drop a bomb, switch to the camera that looks behind you and see where your bomb has hit. Just note your alltitude, speed, and where it hit and after a while youll be able to correct for it.

whne I'm in a bomber I always begin dropping the bombs whne the target is at the top of the vertical line, but then again it all depends on how you fly. I usually fly at max speed, and I noticed that bombs went much farther horizontally then i expectd. Like 30m forward for every 10 meters downward. BUt if you want to be really accurate, go high, and fly almost straight down to your target and begin realising the bombs.
Listen once again it all depends on your speed and alittude, I suggest try to fly the max speed, cause thats the easiest to do constantly and you're a harder target yourself, and just keep trying untill you know instinctivly when to drop a bomb from which altitude. And the next times your going to do it almost automaticly.
For some reason kubra dam is for me easiest to bomb, after that zatar wetlands, but I don't know why.

I know exactly what you mean. when I drop bombs the only thing they hit is like a sniper in the nearby trees I can never bomb bases correctly!

[HavanaAffair]

XD Yeah, the only kill I've got is a team kill, by accident of cause

Why the hell are you flying a plane when your commander?

He's not the only one that does it. I usually find a nice quiet spot, crack my fingers, and start pointing, clicking, and typing out commands.

The bombs are falling at the same speed you've got, all you need to "feel" is the droprate.

not true they last till u die or someone runs over em

If your using a joystick you should set your camera views to the POV-HAT on the stick.

I set them like this, Up=Front Chase, Down=Rear Chase, left=Cockpit view, Right=Fly By. Switch to forward chase view after releasing the bombs to see where your bombs hit. Host a local game for practice, as long as no one joins you can practice bombing indefinately.

Hes asking how long they last after you die.
