This mission seems interesting, you can share the .mis file?

Blenny would be raring to go. No dice. It bombed the hell out of empty Calais (where is the shipping?!), or any land target, but when I hit release at point-blank range from a fat tanker, nothing happened!

Perhaps using high altitude bombs fuse?

In the Blenheim I regulary bomb shipping.

My favourate loadout is the "4XGP Bomb, 250lb., MKIV."

If you are bombing from low level make sure you set the fuse to the "No28. IIx Pistol Everready". Remember to set it to 11 seconds or you will have a hard time.

If you are skip bombing get as close to 90 degrees to the side of the ship as posible, otherwise the bombs can (and will) ricochett of the side of the ship.

Against tankers it is not uncommon to get 4 ships out of 4 bombs.

In the Geman bombers, make sure you arm the bombs before dropping them otherwise they will not go off.

If you're into multiplayer get on to ATAG with teamspeak, It's a hoot when you can get a flight of bombers together!

One of my gripes about bombing in CoD is that there is no sound or other indication that it has left the plane when you press the tit.

1. Have you bound the quadrant axis to controls which the aircraft actually uses in game? There are loads of redundant controls. Just try it by binding to roll/pitch/yaw.
2. FFB does come and go, it always goes if you alt+tab to desktop and back. You can 'restore' it with a hi yo-yo since it kicks in again once you've slowed down. OK, it's a silly move for no reason but take the chance to check your 6
