Bombing tutorial now online

[MadJeff 3]

We now have an excellent tutorial online by Leon "BadBoy" Smith on how to deliver the MK82 on-target in Strike Fighters. It shows step-by-step just how to get those bombs to hit your target using the standard gunsight and a little practice

 

You will shortly see that we recommend releasing the bomb at a dive angle of 27 degrees, a speed of 535KIAS at an altitude of 4000ft, as a solution to the sighting problem. However, there is more than one solution to this problem, and other combinations can be used. However, this profile will provide a combination of range, speed, time-over-target and pull out altitudes that will maximise your bombing accuracy while minimising the risks. Although your results will depend on good reflexes, hand eye co-ordination and timing. The good news is that these parameters are reasonably tolerant of small errors and good results can be achieved against relatively large, stationary targets in Strike Fighters, with a modest degree of skill after some brief initial practice.
