I Have discoverd a new way to bomb using jets. It's very effective and doesn't make it so you slam into a tree or get spotted by the other team as easily.

cannon > iglas?

what i mean is that bombs are a waste agains everything except armor. the MGs suffice for almost everything.

What he said.

Bombing an IGLA just gives them more chance to shoot you down.

..and I don't see how that makes it hard for the enemy to spot you.
All they have to do is look up?

He was flying at like...200 meters.

i prefer my way of bombing, fly really high, the just fly vertically downwards, they don't see you coming then

I've seen people do it tons of times, and if I'm up against a high-rank or I've seen them perform the Death Dive, I usually look up. However, if they still release the bombs, I'm fried.

The technique has one flaw. Flares are practically useless if the AA's wise to you. But as stated, the good pilot will release the bombs early and if the AA's not fast enough. . .

Death Dive is just kickass, 200 metres, straight down on a tank and bai bai!

it's pretty much the only way to accurately bomb with the fighters.

I tried this and phailed. Oh well, Death Dive for moi.

The video's old, so a patch could've taken it out. Or I'm just not doing it right.

You just have to fly at the same angle every time.

Find the angle, then memorize it, and you're set.

I don't think it's a very practical approach to bombing though.
I do fine by going with my instincts.

Tried that, but I was afraid to crash into a skyscraper on Gulf of Oman. Maybe on Wake with open skies, just little trees. Thanks for the tip! +1

Watch out for those J10s.

I still crash ever so often, because I'm too damn stubborn to pull up without getting a kill.

Seen it before, its cool but bombing from huge heights is less effective.

i heard this is true

thx for reposting my vid lol, more views for my channel

anywho i dont fully condone doing that in actual games. its really just fancy and i do it for laughs, or when theres no enemy jets in the air and theres a particular spot i want to bomb (such as inside sheds in kubra, daqing etc) thats not possible via dive bombing. dive bombing is really, more effective and easier to pull off. but if theres no enemy jets, go for it
