Hi, is there any good tutorial about the bomber sight? I believe the center of the cross is for altitude 1, the second stripe is alti 2 and the third alti 3. Is this correct?

Step 1:

Get in plane, dont foget your screwdriver, youll need it.

Step 2:

Fly to approx. 600 feet

Step 3:

Locate an enemy force and line up for a clear attack run.

Step 4:

Begin dive in direction of enemy force, get screw driver ready at this time.

Step 5:

Unscrew bombsight from its mounting in plane, being careful not to lose any screws.

Step 6:

Flying over the top of your enemies, open your window.  Throw the bombsight out the window, dropping it on to the heads of unsuspecting enemies below.

Step 7:

Check for casualties amongst enemy forces, if none are found turn the plane around and line up for another run.

Step 8:

Dive bomb them like a normal person...

I think the bombsight is just crap.

This is a gaming community. People come here to relax. If you start an argument you will get kicked.

Quid pro quo.

ive never had much luck at it, keeping level is hard enough without having to keep track of the target, i find on bomber kits though that releasing bombs just before target has best effect

Yes, the way you descibe it the bomber kit works also fine for me. But the usual bombsight is just good for watching the ground I think.

its true
In order for it to work you would have to be flying perfectly straight, no pitch or yaw, and for it to be accurate(from centre of sight) youd need to be at the specific height that it is set to. The angle which the sight is place in respect to the plane is constant and does not adjust to chages in the planes position relative to the ground.

The following diagram demonstrates this in effect, albeit crudely.


In figure A we see that a plane flying horizontally(at the right height) will be able to view its target accurately, but in figure B a plane either in a dive or climb will have difficulty determining the accurate location of the target.

Bear in mind that the bomb sight in game is set to view slightly forward of the bomber, so this effect is made worse when climbing than diving.
