Toss Bombing without a computer???!!!??? What an interesting concept. Now, you all KNEW I wouldn't let the challenge go uncontested. I DO LOVE ME SOME NUKES!!!!!! So, here's the story. Using a pair of Danish F-100F's (it IS Super Sunday after all), I went in search of a factory building 197 miles away. Low & fast, through the SAM traps, (they missed....somehow) and finally.... I'm in range. The only calculations made were done mentally on the fly (so to speak), until I hit TLAR (That Looks About Right) distance. I left the numbers in the shot so you can see what I was doing on the loop/roll up & away.... And just so you don't think my aim was off, or my methods unsound, check out the bomb in the upper right of the photo as it nears the target. The results speak for themselves. You don't need a workaround for this....just a LOT of practice and patience. And it's SO satisfying when you get it right.

"you and your propensity for hanging the biggest missile possible.... " My Good Sir, it is because of areas like this: Since my tasking was to liberate the area, I intended to liberate the target from this earthly plane with all due dispatch, using the OPHA method....One Pass, Haul A$$. No cleanup on aisle three, cuz it's gone too. -

Sam Suppression Mission in the EA-6B. Love the scheme. Coming back to the boat, everything was like oil on glass, and I'm already congratulating myself on a kick-a$$ landing. And just at the end of the deck...I sneezed. Pushed the stick over, hit the fantail, things went to hell, and that was all she wrote. The best description of the crash went something like this....

Cruddy Mondays
Nightshade/PR replied to charlielima's topic in Thirdwire: Strike Fighters 2 Series - Screen Shots
I do use that one; especially when I'm flying French Crusaders. That's the map where thsese were taken. (Hopefully, this protocol breach of it not being Monday is allowed in this instance) Getting them back on the smaller decks is the real challenge. -

"Rainy Days & Wednesdays, always draw a nuke" AGM-129's will keep me out of a hi-threat environment. 3 of them mean I can go home early.... This is probably how the dinosaurs felt.....
