if thats really possible i have to practise a lot...
i trim the 110 as often as i can, but is it possible to trim the ailerons as well?up till now, i have only trimmed the rudder and the elevators

It's possible to trim ailerons, but should not be nessecary.

The trick really is a combination of low fuel, perfect trimming (constant trimming while accelerating helps), low drag radiator profile, no maneuvers and a bit of a descent in the beginning to get up to speed, then holding it. If you do it right Spits and Hurries will have a very very hard time catching you, if at all.

This is for a plane without bombs, of course.

will try and practise a lot then...

what about the rpms and ata values...?
i usually try to maintain 2200-2300rpm with a prop pitch of about 10 o clock,radiators as much closed as possible and the same with oil rads.

Full throttle with pitch in in the 2200, 2300 range works best, imho. As trumps already stated, with this setup at max speed you can fly as long your fuel lasts without fear of overheating. Half radiators suffice in this setup, but make sure you keep up that speed.

Yup, rudder trim has to be spot on, 400kg fuel, 10.20 pitch, 1/3 oil cooler open, and about 2/3 rad open, 440kph is easy achieved, and you can run like that all day without damaging things.

ok will try it...

btw, how do the fuel tanks work??

The following thread pretty much explains it all:

Love low level bombing of the airfields as well. On one sortie last week I came screaming over hawking at about 50 meters, I spied 2 spits running up their engines at one end of the field, I lined up between then and toggled my 2 x 500's, with a couple of seconds between them. One of the spit pilots RAAF SNIPER I think it was latter told me on coms that he saw both the bombs release and skid along the ground before digging in between the spits, he sat there and watched them for another few seconds before the world went black fantastic fun, would love to have seen it from his perspective!

Haha, combine that with the sounds in this game now and a 110 approaching at high velocity and that must have truly been a sight to behold

When i "skip-bomb" i actually score direct hits, i believe, as i release at a altitude between 5m and 10m when the target fills the screen.

Important then, is to give the bombs time to leave the racks before taking action to avoid the ship.

S!

I (nor my squadmates) have had any trouble in getting the sc250 to explode with the low level fuse. I drive the bomb to the target with a shallow dive, releasing at about 100m from the target. I love the 110 action now as it doesn't do the "rodeo" anymore
