kenportner Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 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.
Fubar512 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited January 30, 2015 by Fubar512
Dave Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 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.

Dave Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 TLAR; tried and true after about the first 1000 times you do it.
SupGen Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 ken, check out this thread, especially the links in the second post: http://combatace.com/topic/82375-any-good-bombing-instructions/ . Good luck!
Flanker562 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Kinda why I like modern aircraft, I'm too impatient to worry about TLAR though, so CCIP and Guided is how I approach it.
