Because of the too low speeds / power of the bombers you'll have to correct for a descent all the time.
Course corrections are made with autopilot right or left, precise enough.

thats why my plane decends with the R22 mode
thanks ROBTEK
by the way you can trim always with the course and loft your bombs

A little side program from IL-2:1946....

Download from M4T at:
Bombsite Table v2

This was based on estimates....not sure how accurate in CloD.

It can run in background....I used to have 2 monitors, so I would have this program up on one screen and fly on other screen. The key commands to adjust speed and height work while in game. But in the end, you find that you typically bomb from the same height and speed so you can get the angle prior to your flight if you are afraid to Alt-Tab out of game to see table.

You can certainly use a different programs, but it's for "Loftenfernrohr Lofte" is superfluous.
"Lofte" very easy to use, it is sufficient to know only one parameter (AGL or TAS), that would correct all the rest.
So with the help of Bombenfernrohr can determine the angle of drift, but unfortunately the servers is rarely used atmospheric effects.
I also use the scope "Lofte" on final approach in stormy weather.

Can you clarify this issue, that there was no disagreement?

[Redroach]

While he has compiled a pretty nice website, that webmaster of LuftArchiv.de obviously made an error, which has propagated through the interwebs (or probably it was someone else and he just adopted it...).
There is no word like 'Loften' in German - and, additionally, klick on my link above. The original box should be proof enough, I think! (whoever is tempted to use the word "photoshopped" now, be ready to face my wrath! )

[skouras]

i'm pretty sure that the right word begin with Lotfe not lofte
i think Redroach is right
