I know for a fact that with the F-15 and Su-34 you CAN bomb sideways, just watch the pipper, with some form of accuracy.

but is it possible to bomb upside down?

Yes. It actually doesn't affect the bomb drop either, but good luck dive bombing upside down.

i don't, i flat bomb, i gauge the distance so at least SOME bombs fall directly on their head I fly fighters more, so yeah.

So its really possible? no bomb goes back up your own ass and pwns you?

Personally I would really like to give the bomber aka gunner the ability to drop bombs. The hellfire missiles they have are nice, but I think they could be given a bomb reticle which a gunner can become more proficient at using then the pilot could ever since you could see where the bombs fell.

I would think they move too fast to set up accurately....

so you'll need some uber1337 skills to actually get them to hit. not like many pilots give their co-pilots enough time to lock on and fire. whenever i'm stuck as copilot with a plane wh0re, i go for lunch etc.

My intuition tells me you shouldn't be able to.  The bombs should be released from their holds only to hit the plane and blow up.  But then again, what physics in BF2 is intuitive?

I posed the same question to myself when I started, so I tried it.. bombs drop from your location, not a hold. Ever notice an animation for a hold opening before releasing bombs? Me either.
