how to use the bomber.
as the title says, does anyone know how to actually aim the bombs on the bomber?

Generally speaking, you spawn and you're basically right above the battlefield pitch down at about 45° and drop your bombs at whatever you think will get you a kill.
When you initially spawn, throttle is set to 55. After your dive, you'll want to ncrease that up to 110. As of right now I'm not aware of any plane that has engine overheating as the temperature gauges don't move. So just gun that thing up to full.
Hit the resupply point. When you're 300 m from the resupply point, you can begin your turn you will swing through it and save yourself a few seconds.
Head back towards the battlefield until you're roughly 1500 m from a cap point. Bring your throttle back down and point your nose at about a 45° angle. If teammates have marked at Target that's fine. In the more likely event that nobody has marked anything you now have this time to search for targets. If you happen to see the muzzle flash of a tank go off that's a good thing to aim for. Release your bombs, which should now be on a very predictable trajectory. Then you pull up, throttle up and repeat.

Thank you so much. got like 200 kills in an airfield match with this advice

You have to time the release before your target so the bombs have time to fall. The higher you are the further the bombs have to fall so you have to time accordingly. If you can try in the practice mode and bomb the tanks in the field.

You might just have to wait, it has the same timer as a normal match so it makes you wait about a minute.

no i mean even after the wait. nothing.

That’s weird I know you can use the other planes in training. I guess you’ll just have to try in a normal game to get a feel for bombing.

"use the Force, Luke..." - seriously, I wish there was a bomb cam (is there one?) like in War Thunder, so I could get a better sense of where my bombs are falling at different release times...

My favorite is high speed & low altitude for minimal deviation and avoiding AA/aircraft. There are plenty of stationary tanks to practice techniques on in the training mode!

Don’t know how well it works for twin engine planes but for planes like the Stuka the tried and true method is dive bombing. Release the bombs right as the nose of the plane covers your target. You can probably do it with a twin engine plane but you will have to experiment with when to drop and need to also take into account a slower pull up rate so you will have to drop earlier than with the Stuka.
The steeper the angle of your dive the less forward momentum your bombs will have and as such the straighter down they go. It’s a balancing act of diving steep enough to be accurate but shallow enough to not crash on the pull up.
thanks ill give it a try
