Not sure about the others, but the German DFW has a bombsite.

Hasse Wind may even still have the modified site with a better crosshair.

From my flying of the Sopwith Strutter there is no sight as I am aware off so I just drop and pray...

Only the DFW has a bombsight in OFF. I hope to see more planes with this equipment in P4.

As a bombsite you might choose the Tower bridge, or alternatively some well-visible german monument :grin:

 

Anyway you have to keep your wings horizontal, the slightest angle will make the bombs go everywhere, but your target.

When going in close i descend at a slight angle, usually aim over the nose (MG sight) and then lift the nose a bit until the target vanishes under the nose (keep wings horizontal, fly straight without any rudder input!), then release several bombs, usually one's a hit - takes practice though. Hitting an exact target with only one bomb directly is hard though ..

Bombing with the DFW is gear mate! Cool, fun, challenging. After you drop your load switch to the bombview and watch the carnage. I loved DiD campainging with the DFW.
