Accurately bombing Targets in Planes

[Flying Vortex]

Ok, well i'm hving a little trouble bombing targets.. I just got my joystick and flying is even more fun, but im not bombing sometimes, and its getting annoying

Even if there is like 2 or 3 Vehicles lined up i sometimes miss them, i may be releasing to early or to late but im not sure, i have looked using the F11 View, but i cant really firgure if im releasing late or early.. Can someone help me out with some tips and when to bomb? Accurately..

I hate to say this but, practice, practice, practice.

When you bomb, press F11 and look behind you and see where they land. After a while I'll be second nature and you'll be bombing moving targets with over 80% accuracy.

Keep making small adjustments. Get onto an empty server and bomb empty vehicles or if you're lucky have someone on the other team get in the vehicle so you'll get the 'square' around them.

You'll want to bomb early...your momentum will carry the bombs further than the bottom of the bombing reticle.

Good luck!

Try flying low and dropping the bomb a little before your target after you release the bomb pull up ASAP, just practice!

The steeper the angle, the easier it is to hit... if you're having difficulty try coming from higher up.

There isn't any magic tricks involved, just practise hard.

Instead of doing all that retarded stuff, just scan for targets at around 300 meters and dive on them.

Re: Accurately bombing Targets in Planes

There's no "magic point" at which you can drop your bombs and hit. It depends on your speed, height and direction. For example, if you get high enough you could, in theory, go straight down toward the top of a tank, drop a bomb, and then pull up..and hopefully the bomb would go straight down.

But it really is all about practise, and getting a feel for when to drop the bombs compared to your height, speed and direction. Some people have more luck flying flat and low, others like to dive from a height.

Go to Single Player, and play on Operation Clean Sweep. I believe it's the only single player map that has a plane on it.

Look for enemy vehicles or whatnot, and practice bombing. If you're in a fighter, it's recommended you use the bug to only drop 1 bomb at a time, as it takes 2 to hit a tank, and the only way to hit it twice is to drop 1, turn around, and drop the other.

What would be ideal is if DICE had coded in a better bombing reticule that takes your AOA, altitude, and velocity into consideration so it can show you exactly where your bombs will land at any given moment.

An Excellent point like all the rest of the Reticules and Sights in this game they dont have ANY relation to the actual spot to where it hits, includes all Gun Scopes and Iron Sights
