Dropping "dumb bombs"

[+Muesli 2,151]

Because there are lots of us who cannot drop one stinkin' pickle in the

bullseye I made a short scheme to calculate the distance to target

for dropping a bomb.

It's in a small text file and you can print it on 1 A4 paper.

The calculation is for all sizes and weight and is approximate!

 

Good luck!

This might be good to post in the air combat section...assuming the values would work in any other sim. Couple of questions though:

 

1. Are the values for airspeed in KIAS or GS?

 

2. I'm assuming these are level bomb drops?

Hey FastCargo,

thanks for the reply!

 

The values stated are for dumb bombs in level bomb drops, the speed is in KIAS. As I said, it is an estimate of figures but might help putting the pickle closer to the target!

 

Ciao!
