It's supposed to be moving to the original position, but the cross should be staying on the target.
If the cross is moving away from the target, you have your speed/alt wrong. More than likely it's your speed.
You must enter TAS (true airspeed) into the bomb site, not indicated.

There are several tutorials out there to teach you how to do this correctly, but I highly recommend using the manual method rather than the auto method.

Check out {HVY} Iron's bomb site manual.

You have entered your airspeed and alt wrong, most likely speed.

If the crosshairs moves down away from the target your speed is entered too high, if it moves up it is too low.

Remember there is a difference between Indicated Airspeed IAS and True Airspeed TAS

Another possibility is that you are doing all this too late, i.e. after the calculated bomb release point for your alt and speed, so the bombs drop immediately. You need to have everything set up early, when you are still some distance from the target.

All I can say is learn to bomb properly and set your Bomb Data up at first light so that way you can make any last minute editing and you should get near or close to your target. I manage to do it in the Ar 234.

You can use Bombsight Table 2.

Or using it is a cheat?

I'm new to level bombing and I never hit my target till I use BST2 I Hit accurately. minimum kill is 1 unlike before 0.
LoL :lol:. Btw If you use BST2, Just press bomb button before the target reach the crosshair (Should look at the BST2 for correct angle) then an interval of 1 second after you drop your first bomb.

I use this strategy because sometimes, TAS speed is like this 418 and in my situation I can only input by 10 value to my Bomb sight, So I use 420 so its closer to 418, that why I use the strategy of bomb before it reach my crosshair then bomb 1sec delay to make sure that one of your bomb hits the target.

well it takes a lot of practice to hit your 1st bomb in that said condition.

like 6,000m = 19680 feet

Indicated (lower left speed display)
300kmph 186Mph 162kats

TAS
418Kmph 260Mph 2260 Ksts

you need to time your bombing to compensate that -2 speed since you will set it to TAS 410 on your bombsite.

I hope you understand and sorry for my wrong grammar.

Or how bout you take the FW200 for a spin(You will need the cockpit mod for it) because it has a manual bomb site which I think should be where you would start off to learn bombing. Or just use the Ar234 and use the Dive Bombing site which is so cheating to use if you figure it out.
