Bombing Tanks, AA, etc.

Can someone give me just a quick explaination of how to target ground units?

I can never seem to release the bombs at the right time and I always miss.

Bombs are a bit tricky. I find that the best way to drop them, is a near vertical dive from about 1500-2000m at full speed, with your main target sites on your target. This tactic will also work with guided missiles...it even seems to make them a bit more accurate.

This is the only time I would reccomend playing vanilla to someone, but there are not enough maps with aircraft to get a significant amount of practice. The jets in VBF2 all have unguided bombs, so getting the hang of it there will help a lot. The crossover back to pr is nothing hard.

Bombs, Usefull only to take out the runway or randomly dropping to scare the shit out of enemy troops.

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

There is a 'knack' for dropping bombs which you can only get from experience. But I would still imagine that dive bombing still works unless the physics for the bomb has been changed.

In BF2v , i use the top end of the 'Line' at the bottom of the HUD when the bomb is selected, still need skill though but it works most of the time when i tried in SP.

that's right

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)
