BF2S Forums Retarded bombs....... retarded pilot.

As pointed out by SlayThem months ago, my pilot stats are shit.

But if you care, I found the best release for those bombs is at an almost straight down angle.

YOu HAVE to do a flyby (or I usually do) then come back at the right angle and nail them. I drop both at once for a greater chance at hitting the target.

Releasing them level will send them straight across Wake Island and into the sea. Also, if your too low and release them level, you have a chance of taking damage yourself from the explosion.

PATIENCE is a huge part of flying....I don't have any.

PS- I admit my pilot stats are shit. I can still fly through the Kubra Dam tunnel, under any wooden Wake bridge, and put the choppers under the I beam's of the Sharqi Construction point.  Please do not brag about these accomplishments any longer. Flame on peeps.

by tapping the release button and not holding it. will drop one bomb.

There are two effective ways of dropping one bomb.  The most common way is to drop your payload then reload only one bomb.  Then release that, then reload for two bombs, you will now drop one bomb from now on. This will happen until you reload one bomb then return to reload a second bomb and then finally releasing them.

I prefer to use the second method which to press the bomb button and you will hear a bomb release and immediately after switch to air-to-air missiles and then back to the bombing pipper.  This method allows you to drop one or two bombs when you want to.  Places where I drop two bombs is when I go into an extremely steep attack angle (perpendicular or almost 90 degrees to the ground.) or there is a long convoy or large spread out group of transport vehicles/infantry.

The higher attack angle means you will be in and out of view very quickly, you will have a higher chance of hitting your target for maximum damage.  A good way I cause the most damage is to come down at them at a steep angle with the Vulcan cannon blazing, APCs get destroyed from about 5 to 7 seconds of cannon fire, boats and transports about 3 seconds or less, tanks well I haven't had the patience to just pelt a tank with the vulcan cannon, but I have finished off a tank after putting one direct bomb hit on it and then with two seconds of direct cannon fire.

I am starting to like flying fighters a lot more than bombers, sure I like destroying half a dozen people in one payload, but I love the mobility of the fighter jets and the extra air-to-air missiles. I also hate getting shot down, and that mostly happens when I am in the bomber.

The fighter has an edge over the fighter-bomber against each other, but the 'bomber' and its 5 bombs make bombing tanks (or groups of tanks in EF) much much easier and effective.

just play by urself on lan.. ull get the hang of it

a bomber plane and fighter plane, exact equal skill. would the fighter win every time due to the better maneuvering? or would it be a very equal fight?

The bomber should get destroyed without too much trouble.  The sad thing is, J-10 Vs. F-35B is almost as bad as J-10 Vs. Bomber.

Yeah granted they dont move, but it helps you get used to the angle of attack and release time, which is what most people have trouble with. transfering that knowledge to a moving target is easy, just drop where said vehicle is going to be in 1 or 2 seconds time. I never learnt this way, I just figured it out by playing, but thats what I tell my mates and most of them will never miss a target now, unless they're being raped up the arse by a fighter at the time of course. Kind of a bad move teaching all your mates how to own in the bomber really, cus half of them always get in game before me so I never get to use the bloody thing anymore
