The new bomb fuzing needs to be an option.

[TheGrunch]

For a cargo ship, go down to 40-50m/150ft, drop when the ship's masts are either side of the reflector gunsight. That was in a Spitfire, though. I'll have a go in a bomber of some description, now. B-25 I think.

EDIT: Same deal in the B-25. In a shallow dive, go down to about 50-60m and drop when the ship's masts fill the whole reflector gunsight frame. Bomb delay 2s in addition to the arming delay for both. The angle you drop at is quite important. Better if it's shallower, but too shallow and it'll bounce too far.

BTW, fruitbat, LoBiSoMeM, which recording software are you using? What settings for recording?

I use Vegas Movie Studio HD Platinum 10.0. It's do everythig for you and publish in YouTUBE after rendering. Very intuitive. Just use FRAPS to make a video and edit in Vegas. Less than 30 minutes to do all, even upload to YouTUBE.

Thanks! I'll have to look into it.

fraps recorded at 1920*1200, 30fps and then virtualdub (which is free) with xvid codec compression.

Thanks fruitbat, seems like a significantly cheaper option.

As posted earlier I can repeatably hit ships in a B-25J from 100ft (30.48m) 240mph from cockpit instuments and with 1 sec bomb delay. 150ft feels a bit high, 100ft, IMHO seems a bit safer and somewhat more prototypical.
