Level Bombing

It works every time and you will be able to bomb from any altitude.

This is how I do it. Also note that the TAS appears to increase (relatively) the closer you get to the target.

It may take some practice, to get used too.

If the bombs go long, your TAS was entered too high. If short, too low.


I prefer a chart to Bombsight Table 2. Just to give an idea of where the TAS should end up.

I think the reverse is true...
If the bombs go long, it means that your actual TAS was higher than the one you entered (the bombs "walked" more than expected). So your entered TAS was too low.

If bombs go short, your TAS entered was too high.

You can always adjust the speed dial on the fly - just lock on to your target and if the aim point drifts down decrease speed, if it drifts up then increase speed.

This is the method described here:

I love your manual Joe90. Even included link to it in my own, as reccomended starting point if you don't don't like manual release.


My preference is manual bomb release because with auto BS salvo drop you cannot bomb in formation. Accurately that is.

Version 2.0 should come out in a month and it will be avaliable on M4T, current version, 1.1 is avaliable from my signature.
