No sight for Dumb Bombs?

Recommended Posts

Hi. Just bought SF2 I and tried a single mission with an A 4E.

 

It doesn't appear to have a sight for dumb bombs .

 

How are you supposed to launch the weapon on target?

 

Thanks.

The Skyhawk, like many of its contemporaries, had a  T.L.A.R gunsight that was used for both gunnery and bombing, as well as a LABS timer for nuclear weapons delivery.  :biggrin:

There is no easy answer to this. There was no CCIP back then, it was all dive bombing and math. I have practiced on the range terrain many many many times to get the right feel and have been able to hit targets. So the short answer is practice.

Like I said, T.L.A.R

TLAR; tried and true after about the first 1000 times you do it. :lol:

Kinda why I like modern aircraft, I'm too impatient to worry about TLAR though, so CCIP and Guided is how I approach it.
