Ive been wondering,

So many people say the HUD is useless for bombing, but i beg to differ. I actively use it all the time and rarely miss. Thats not to say you need the HUD to be a good bomber, but it is strange how few people actually pay any attention to it. I know the majority of people (myself included) will claim they use a 'bombing sense', result of hours of practice to know where bombs will hit most of the time, but does this work often at heights above 150m for example?

Ive created this poll as i simply want to get an idea of how many people use it, and effectively. Im under the impression im the only one who actually reads it, so i made a movie showing what life is like from my point of view. This movie is directly aimed at people who are practicing using the bombs, but cant get them to hit often. Bombing sense may take 10+ hours to fully comprehend, this takes 3 minutes

Its a compilation of some of my games from last weekend, i hope everyone can learn something from it and utilise the HUD to its full potential in the future.

As for the parts at the end, the rest of my movies are found by searching my username on youtube.

Nah, I use my spidy... mod... bombing sense. I mainly use the F-35 (fuck the J-10) so I have grown quite adapt at bambing on feeling.

How many of you guys tap the pitch down between the bombs dropping? It is mighty fun destroying tanks in one pass - apparantly i'm a hacker.

Dont forget to engage afterburner so you crash into the target as hard as possible. Bonus points for causing the enemy to Tk.

So does it make ANY difference, according to what speed your going?

faster you go, the more likely the C4 will do damage by itself.

There should never be a need to go slow in the jets unless repairing, and always save afterburner for when you need it. As long as the jet is on full throttle its accurate. dont even bother trying this on a 90* angle.

so it does make a noticeable difference, but you should never alter the speed at which you bomb, thats just making it harder for yourself.

why not simply go jihad jet style, and pull up before the jet hits he ground?

edit- and how do you drop a bomb in a fighter?

The only time I use the HUD for bombing is to make sure I'm level. I just seem to line it up for myself better then.
