This will increase your lethality in destroying enemy targets
Although highly controversial this works better than blind luck
 It's through years of experience that the following is published

  • Using the GA Invis Panel with Bomb Sights Greatly improves accuracy! Available on the downloads page.
  • Weeks of testing went into those panels and we recommended you use them even with Glide running if you are a bomber. The aim point advantage is phenomenal.
  • Because of game limitations, don't go back to a target you have already been to or that target will harden. 
  • There is a way around that, you must exit the game completely and come back in. This only pertains to online Games!
  • Think we're wrong? Look at our WAR FORCES and RBWL Bombing records!!

 

General Info

  • If you arbitrarily "lob" your explosives you'll end up hardening your target or at least make it much more difficult to destroy.
  • You should plan your "run in" to your target from high above the target to avoid enemy interception yet plan on rolling out on the target far enough out and below the AA which will quickly destroy your aircraft if you are much above roof top level.
  • Be very careful when using rockets and bullets because they will usually pass through the target hitting whatever is behind it. Keep this in mind though, you can use this to your advantage as well. But be careful not to hit vehicles and such on the other side of buildings that you intend to destroy.
  • If you happen to hit a truck, especially the ambulance plan on spending about twice as long dropping that target.
  • Simply damage a structure with a bomb and press on!!! This is usually enough for the game to consider that structure either severely damaged or destroyed which is all you need.
  • If this doesn't work, try using your machine guns to finish the place and save your bombs for nearby targets.
  • The game gives you 10 bombs. Use them wisely!
  • Regular Ammo is by far the best ammo for ALL purposes in this game unless you like looking at flames or want to flame an opponent in flight.

Target Tactics by target type

Village / Town

  • One building, use a few bursts of  regular ammo, easy enough, these are great targets.
  • When you encounter the three bldg variety best move on to another target. But if you must, put rounds on the buildings and a bomb on the church building. That should do it.
  • You can do them all in with just ammo too if you like.
  • Generally speaking the villages with three buildings aren't worth your time or effort. You can get more points with the same amount of ammo elsewhere, RR, Factory, Dump. If this is the only thing left in the sector

 

 

Rail Yard

  • Simple enough, a couple rounds of ammo on the building to drop it and your all done. If not take out the locomotives next!

 

 

Bridges

  • These guys can be swift or take forever and why the difference is uncertain to me but if you try this it will result in success more often than failure.
  • Hit the two end spans then move on and you'll notice slightly narrower strips on the bridge, these are the supports along the bridge. Aim for them after the end spans if the bridge hasn't fallen. Ammo or rockets on the spans works too.

 

 

Factory

  • They are protected by AAA but no AA making them easy prey from slightly higher altitudes.
  • Concentrate on the buildings with the smoke stacks.
  • Once again don't worry about "flattening" the structure, a direct hit with any results at all will suffice. Hit one and move on!!!
  • Whatever you do, don't hit long and nail a truck, the factory will be much more difficult to destroy if you do.

 

 

Supply Depot

  • These come in two flavors, the "big" building sort and the tent/shed variety.
  • The "big" is easy, use the "L" key and view your target on the way inbound. This view will direct you to one or two buildings. Hit only those buildings and YOU'RE DONE. If you hit anything else you'll likely have to finish them all.
  • If you are inbound to the tent/shed variety simply line yourself up with the "rows" and blast away with regular ammo. Take out two rows (total of 5 - 6 tens or sheds) and it's down!
  • You can quickly take this type of depot down with just ammo by nailing approximately 3 tents and 3 sheds.
  • Bombs will help you do the job quicker but you can save those for another nearby target.

 

 

Aerodrome

  • These come in many varieties with only two primary patterns.
  • The key here is not to hit the ambulance and concentrate on hitting only the hanger & headquarter structures. No trucks, towers, machine gun nests, trenches etc.
  • If there's two bombers at the target one may want to concentrate on the AA while the other bombs.
  • You can take out the largest of dromes by yourself with a single bomb load if you concentrate on the hangers alone.
  • ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT WORRY ABOUT FLATTENING THE STRUCTURE
  • Because of ping and lag, if you try to drop a target with a wingman/men then you should have a plan as to which structures you will engage as individuals. Nailing the same structures is a waste of time and ammunition.
  • It's recommend that if you have the time and no threats looming nearby take the facility one at a time with the others providing Combat Air Patrol (CAP), cover overhead, above AA altitude.

 

 

Sight Picture

  • By looking at these photos you'll see a clear pattern of release points at their finest.

  • The references used are with the G^A invis panel installed and flying the Alb D2 or the N17.

  • There are similar points on all panels. You'll just have to find yours.

  • Speed and altitude are the greatest considerations, make sure you work on keeping them constant!!
