why would that be rude ive used that tactic before however i find it works best with carriers and BBs as you can take out alot of their main guns

LOL Blighty, it really annoys me when people fly level bombers very low, I think there should be a min release alt.

I do like your tactic of coming from behind though.

When I level bomb I slow the bomber down to 1/4 speed so my bombs fall in a tight concentration.

another method of delivering air dropped torps is something ive invented so to say
its called a sea skimmer
message me if you want to find out how its done

With heavy bombers I come in at high altitude, dive to build up some speed before levelling out at medium altitude and then use the throttle to adjust the trajectory of the bombs so they all fall on the same point, instead of in a line across the target. Once I've dropped, I push the nose down into a turning dive to regain speed and dodge the AA, though I don't bother usually bother with getting out of the area because there is no limit on the number of bombers you can respawn.

Eagle,

I can't receive or read PM's, you're gonna have to go public.

message me if you want to find out how its done

Yeah, because the fact that there is no site based message system won't affect that plan at all.

ahh woops srry about that i didnt realize there was no site based messaging system give me an hour or so to figure out how to explain it
if someone could tell em how to make a video and post it id be happy to show it
in essence you could with a torp cut between .2-.5 nautical miles of travel (dont know exactly cant get measurement system) but i know that if done right its almost a guaranteed hit developed it in BSM alot

are you releasing the torp in a climb while still being in the release altitude? thus arcing the torp faster than it would swim?

I also like to use the old dive bombing tactic of BSM. The one where you fly over the target and then come around and bomb- so you are flying home whilst you are bombing. This can also be used on bombers. Get a shinden- or somethin just as powerful, preferably with anti air rockets- and fly over the prey. Then come back around, staying high above them, and finally dive down at the steepest angle possible- 90' if you can. If you cut the throttle then you will have plenty of time to destroy lots of planes. Because you are attacking them from above they only have the single, dorsal, turret to attack you. When you start getting uncomfortably too close then full blast the throttle and cut right through them, getting too close and too fast for them to attack you accurately. I think it is obvious why I call this the falcon pass.- i think another evil laugh is in order... mwhahahahaha...

I find low level bombing with level bombers a very effective tactic to take out ships. I love to fly low and pass either bow to stern or stern to bow. It's really effective against large ships such as battleships, as it can do more damage than a torpedo run. I usually only use this tactic in defense though, when I can't make a battleship of my own.

I use quite a lot of tactics for dogfights bombs and all.

One scenario i favour, is when i see a bomber formation, quite close to eachother. A few opportinities here (spell check ), I could shred the bombers whom are higher than there other comrades, thus they fall onto others and i get two for ones.

Or, (only if the enemy have escorts and i have a manouverable plane) I do some dodges and twists to go through the tightest gap possible (make sure wingmen DO NOT follow) and allow the enemy fighters to try to tail me. of course being the brainless pilots the AI are, they crash into ALL of the bombers possible.

Those are just a couple of tactics, i have many more.

Low level bombing irritates the sh*t out of most people, but in a retarded way, the Auto-aim system is the answer to it - ask incline - i just shot down a few b-17s with 20inch shells!

Works with anything that the weapons can elevate to and track - good for shooting down torpedo bombers.

Simply switch to the main artillery, keep the crosshair on the target, and hold the trigger. Guns will fire as soon as they they get a fix. Secondary batteries also work just as well (if not better) than when being used in AA role.

Isn't this game amazing!?

the BSM style of dive bomber attack seemed better, the BSP dive bomb attack seems to glide in and drop the bomb as gently as possibly. i have noticed however when you control the plane and boost into the dive at least your wingmen seem to speed up with you.

No problem Yoss, i can say i would have done the same.

Up until then i didn't even know it was possible to have the AI onlne (someone had mentioned it before, but not been very clear about it), but i saw it again today.

I think it has something to do with taking the second second slot on a team, then the guy in the first slot leaves and the match is started - somehow, a rookie AI is assigned to that top slot. That's my theory.

Anyone else encountered AI in online matches?

yes marko that is it but the key is to launch far enough away and you dive low then pull up while still in boost

i think the see skimmer thing is and ive only done this once in training grounds on accidentand then once after that hasnt worked since. get high preferrebly with a avenger although my first time was in a h6k. get high almsot to the stall alltidtude and dive get completely vertical and when your torpedo altimer starts to change drop it and pull out the torpedo goes into the water accelerates faster than any torp ive seen leaving no chance to maneuver out of the way incredibly hard i only try this in training grounds so far and its only been succesful twice
