The perfect drop

[VonBeerhofen 63]

Doing some more tests on the latest EAWPRO release and checking compattibillity with a newer version I found that an old gunsight from 2006, which I used in the B26 to give its nonsensical free floating reticule a bit more meaning, was using a full custom palette from another PRO version. I converted a new drawing to the B26's palette so the thing will display properly, even though it's a bit of a monstrosity due to it's age. It was my first try and I know some planes have no use for the gunsight since they don't have human controlled guns but at the time I thought this to be the best solution for this annoyance. Don't think the obscured dials are of much help to anyone though. Today I have better models which may be incorporated at a later date.

Flying these beasts usually turns into an evasive struggle and trying to get the enemy to target your wingman or somebody else so you can stay alive. Pretty brutal tactics but when lucky you may actually make it to the target, but without a tool for high altitude aiming you're often forced to go down real low to get a chance to hit the target, but then you're normally pounded by enemy crossfire which in EAWPRO can be devastating.

Ofcourse I had to have a bit of extra fun in a mission after all the hard work and my target was to bomb and airfield near Paris. Now here's a hint for the perfect drop, drop your bombs when your distance to the target app. matches your altitude and you won't be far off target. Here's the result of my drop at 10.000 feet altitude/distance, absolutely spot on, don't you love it when a plan comes together!

Good luck, good hunting,
