Play vanilla.. Oh god...I cant belive i said that..

Hell no... This god damn bombs are awesome... i took out a half mec team with one bomb...

they wer fighting in North/South bunker in the middle of it... Once our commander said to me we are not able to handle it anymore... So i said just gimme a target and i will come in... He gave me target i was at arround 1000 than i heart the log on and after that i released the bomb... Comander said it looked awesome the half Mec team (16-20 players) were dead because of one bomb..

alot of people don't know anything about their aircraft in pr anymore , but alot still insist on flying because they can 'fly good in bf2'. Bombing does work but requires alot of practice and probably a joystick and good knowledge of your aircrafts capabilities.

i only use the bombs against AA´s or a Firebase/Bunker...

For the tanks i use my Gau... One full shoot of the Gau will destroy everything...

Laser missles: For 2-3 tanks which stay near together... Set a Laser in the middle of and both will be down and the third one will be damaged... Fly in again and destroy him with the Gau... I mostly use Laser Missles against Bunkers or Firebases inside the Kashan Bunker area.

How do you know how far away from something you are?

@aperson444

by using a combination of horizontal and vertical distances
(horizontal can be viewed by placing an attack marker on the target, vertical is your altitude)

Yep, just learn how to do Pythagorean theorems in your head and you're all set.

it's useless without a laser designated target, so make sure you have somebody to do it for you - you'll hear a voice report when you have a 'lock on target' and only then release your bomb

(mods, could you please delete/modify previous posts regarding former releases as they might confuse some pilots eg. the ones about dive bombing)

There are plenty of times where ive dropped a bomb over a CP being captured and i've gotten many kills.

Errrr... I dont think i've ever waited for that and i always hit my targets with LGB's. Just dive on the CAS/attack marker and drop bombs when your at 700-1000 or so. Dont even need to see the square marker.

basically you dont have to be in a dive or anything if they are lazered and i never drop bombs with out a lazed target. What i do is simply go about 700m then look at my mini map for the SL who called the target, lets say its at coal mine on qinling, ill look at my mini map until the Vision lines on the minimap (that show you which direction you are looking) ae almost near the coal mine then i drop flares, and drop the bomb, shortly after if you have got it right you will hear "im locked on him" and then check your score, if you have hit it will have gone up, you will get the kills within the next minute

You drop the bomb before you hear the "I'm locked on" confirmation? I always wait untill I hear it and then drop bombs/fire missiles.
