I put the crosshairs right on the roof of the target and no dice....I am on PS3 and have tried dive bombing as well as level bombing with no luck.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Im on PS3 and I go online but it doesn't happen to me. But I thinks its just the crosswindsblowing the bombs off target.To make acuate bombing raid low level straight drop pay load and quickly pull up so the bombs wont kill u.

So you are saying you are able to blow up bunkers in strike matches with... say an Il-2M using only ONE 100kg bomb, just like you do in singleplayer? lol

Oh how I only wish that was possible. I would have easily got my weapon collector achievement months ago

Read Gilly's post, He is spot on.

Well I can preform that Low lvl attack with ease. Much less Avoiding crashing into ships and blow myself up.

Not many ships at 10,000ft+ to potentially crash into either.

Cross winds??? You must have a more recently patched version that the rest of us PS3 players!
As for the low level I'd actually say you can be much more accurate and successful from higher altitudes

Well I learn it from my dad which he is in the Air Force and my favorite show tells me that. And I have the normal part of Il2-Sturmovik and its more accurate at low lvl than high. Yeah your going fast but Its better than guessing targets especially simulator. But wat would u rather do. High lvl and hope your not spotted by your obvious cloror of the plane. OR, Go low lvl and blend in with ground covering and bomb the Shit out of the damned ships/target. If I were u I would go low lvl.

In sim I don't need to guess targets I know where they are, especially ships I certainly don't need to guess those. As for higher levels unless they've got rocket or jet power it's going to take them sometime to climb up to altitude instead of them diving in on a surprise attack and it therfore allows for nice slow precise bombing.
To be honest it depends on the distance from spawn to target that determines my altitude, if there's distance involved I'll go high. Short runs like korsun, Ardennes or the Stalingrad maps I go at the altitude I spawn at as they're the maps where targets reduce quickly.
