In the Moscow map the ground is mostly flat... but the average ground altitudes are about 400 @MSL. If you've considered too low altitudes in your calculations, it may explain why your bombs fell short. |
It is a known thing that water in IL2 has to be at 0 altitude, hence my choice to put the targets adjacent to the water surfaces.
On the Moscow map it is not a seashore, more like a river bank, but the altitude is still 0 (landed on the target marker just to be sure.)

The Speed Bar readings are less accurate than the gauges readings, with the sole excepcion of the Heading.
Speed Bar gives IAS and ALT in steps of 10. It means that you could read 230 km/h in the Speed Bar, but 239 km/h in your IAS-meter. What is true? The latter. For altitude, a difference of 10 m is negligible. But a difference of IAS = 9 km/h, it's not.

Yep, that is what I do since I fly mostly with speedbar off.
But one has to mention that the gauges are often unreadable - either blurry or the ticks are crammed together so sightly that it is hard to read exact value - that is why I chose SB-2 - as it was added recently, the gauges are more readable.
