Thor,

I know you are the author of the level bombing manual; I have read it. It emphasizes "manual drops", ergo the need for determining bombsight angle.

That's just not historical for the Norden.

But if you prefer to fly that way, then who am I to tell you different.

Also, please do not bend my words to agree with your new-age terminology of "bombsight table". I prefer historical WWII "stuff" :mrgreen:

Thanks

I too have been and am an avid bombardier since the days of Combat Flight Simulator w/TG2

ps - There is already a speedbar mod that adds TAS to the speedbar readouts. It comes with the BombBayDoors mod. Now if IL-2 could support a radio altimeter then that look-down receiver could find target elevation.

Apologies if I made it sound that way mate.

I too, always try to use historical tactics and methods. But, when it comes to online level bombing with a group of bombers flying in tight formation - manual release is a must (for reasons I explained in the manual).

As for the matter of preset angles, or what we have available with BT2, I am inclined to believe that they had something like that - like a chart with angles for different speeds at different altitudes. Only, I don't think such a thing could have been very accurate.


@ Fusek, nice - I didn't know about that.
