F-84E Bombing tips

[Captain_Trips]

I'm not sure if this is perfectly accurate but it is what AI spit out for me and I was going to practice with it this week.

He also said,
"Aiming references without a CCIP

One trick used by experienced jet pilots before computerized sights was to memorize what the target should look like in the gunsight at release.

For example:

Bombs (25° dive): Release when the target sits just below the center of the reticle at your chosen release altitude.

Rockets: Fire when the target is a little below the center of the sight, accounting for rocket drop.

Napalm: Release slightly before the target reaches the bottom of the sight so the canisters impact in the middle of the target area.

The key is consistency. If you always fly the same speed, dive angle, and release altitude, you'll quickly build the same visual picture every attack."


My bombing accuracy needs help.

But not as much as my gunnery. 😁
