      Same here! Yesterday was my first time flying the ship and I really was not enjoying learning the bombs😅 I still hate that you need to get clothes in order to lock onto a Target though. If the ground base you were attacking had a lot of turrets, it would be hard to get close enough to actually get the reticle on your target😅😅

    A more intuitive method could be inspired by real fighter jets' CCRP with a TDP, delegating pre-launch preparations mainly to the co-pilot.
    Proposed Operation:
    - Operate predominantly in "target of opportunity" mode, allowing pilots to designate targets rather than being pre-assigned. Integration with new map markers or direct target input from AWACS could be considered later.
    - Upon spotting a target, the co-pilot engages TDP mode. This action switches their view to a dedicated targeting camera beneath the bomber.
    - Once a target is designated, the co-pilot can make fine-tune adjustments using a hat switch or similar control.
    - The co-pilot sets the launch pattern, determining the number of bombs, release sequence, interval between drops, fuse type, and other parameters as necessary. If the target and release pattern are predetermined, these configurations can be made prior to takeoff or during flight.
    - The pilot aligns the ship with the target marker and maintains a steady flight path. To initiate the bombing, the pilot holds down the release button 5 seconds before the cue, authorising the computer to execute the pre-set bomb release. Once the bombs are deployed, the pilot can swiftly exit the area.
    It's also quite vexing that this isn't actually documented anywhere. It's not in the knowledge base, or galactopedia, or even the community wiki.

      @chrishoppner150, DCS player??? I like what you are thinking, and would love to see CIG really flesh-out bombing more in the game. As CitizenCon showed us in the SQ42 info the game will be getting massive changes to how ships fly, target, and shoot, so there is a very big possibility bombing is going to get reworked at some point.

      Much like yourself, I'd love to see a proper CCIP & CCRP mode implemented along with supporting ancillary tools such as laser designation (would be cool to have friendlies lasing targets). I'd also like to see proper ripple functionality as opposed to have we have now.
      Hopefully we see more bomb types too such as rocket assisted ones akin to some of the runway bombs we see IRL.

  • @GetKUNKed
    @GetKUNKed 2 місяці тому +1

    You can also use math in a very broad factor. Alt, speed, speed of target(s), delay of payload. ( ex. boosting past a moving target at a speed of 320mps, at an alt 0f 500m-1000m, and dropping a payload at 1.5km-2.5km ahead of a target moving at 220mps, will retire the target.) You don't need the "circle" in the end. The A1 needs the ability to "carpet bomb." It's essentially done over by the A2 aside from speed and it's small size.

    I think bombing will be a lot more interesting when the bombs destroy whatever the target is hiding in rather than them being invulnerable. They should have just kept it where the bombs kill through walls. It's better than them not being useful at all.
    They could have added AA defenses around places like Jumptown events and such. Players in control of JT could activate the turrets which would help protect them from bombs and other attackers.

    • @TieJax
      @TieJax  10 місяців тому

    @evanelevan 10 місяців тому +4

    I've been wondering; if you have to fly at a low speed to make sure you don't add too much space to the dropping bombs does that mean that a higher altitude drop would be efficient? If thats the case how high can you target something? I'd imagine if you are doing a low pass on a target and you are facing ballistas for example you're gonna have a bad time. But if you are high enough, can splash multiple bombs outside of AA range you'll being doing some work. Great video btw. Been waiting for this ship for a loooooong time but can't bomb to save my life. lol Subbed

    • @TieJax
      @TieJax  10 місяців тому +2

      @evanelevan, Due to the slow release speed of the bombs your speed is more of a factor than the elevation. A high release at a very low speed will make the bomb's impact closer.

      @MajorWetSpot 10 місяців тому +1

      2900 m is the highest you can drop the bombs. I tried 2900 then 2950m and at 2950m the bomb despawns with no explosion before it touched the ground

    • @Kanzaz
      @Kanzaz 10 місяців тому

      sometimes more important that the actual speed is being consistent with your motion--the more adjustments made during flight will jerk the bomb/sight around, as you can see the first time he drops 2 simultaneous bombs. you can do fast runs but itll be much easier with a single bomb, and it requires a lot of practice to time the delay right. that said, you can also try to do multiple passes with a single group of queued bombs... if you are quick enough and dont bank too hard. this is one of the most fun ships to learn, imo.

      @Tentacl, I agree with you, I would love to see some laser guided bombs and a FLIR system or something like it at some point.

    how do you select to drop more than one bomb?

      @rvbarton, Use the same button or keybind you use to change the number of missiles, I think the default is "G".

    The bomb bud needs to be in a special mfd or something... Why the hell should I be aiming my nose at the ground to bomb. I should be flying horizontal over the target

      @AllThingsFlightSim, yes but not as accurate as when you use the target sight.
