CAS Answer - Page 2

Bombs make bigger explosions. kinda obvious.

Also boms lock themselves on their own so you may drop a bomb just knowing there's a lased target below you, you don't need to see it (that means you may drop a bomb from high altitude and once it's at ~800 it will start to follow the lase...

If you do find yourself in a dumb-fire bombing situation, bear in mind that bombs behave more like missiles with a descending curve-over-time than freefalling bombs. Most of the time, if you're flying at less than 800m, pointing your nose just over your target and pickling (releasing the bomb), will result in a hit.

Practice!

I had a awsome round the other day using the new T marker system. I was sl in a CAS squad and using the laze and marker system the 2 pilots in my squad ripped the MEC armour to pices. I did fined thats when dropping the CAS markers via setting contact distance the marker can some times be way past where i wanted it to go. Even though It was set to the correct distance. Being able to use the attack this position marker for my pilots they just flew over the laze box droped bombs and boom.

Best way to fly CAS is to have a SL who is willing not to fly and go out into the map and place laze on the targets with markers.

One video I took when the pilot bombed a sniper instead of using guns.
