Using the F4 Sight in S.O.G

[Future Slap]

I just got the Nam DLC and I'm trying everything out. The only thing I can't figure out is how the "bombsight" on the F4 Phantom works. No matter how I try to aim it, my napalm lands way off target. How do you actually use it?

Phantom had a bombsight?

It didn't have a real HUD, so it can't have CCIP... Are you using the gunsight?

It has a little screen on the pilot view with bomb computer on it. There must be some kind of bomb aiming.

The only two screens I have found in the pilot's seat are the RWR and the radar.

Both are actually functional inside the cockpit.

Go into the copilot seat and right click

Maybe the SOG F-4 has the "bomb targetting computer" thing where you point at an area and bombs are automatically dropped to hit the target when you fly over? If that's the case there should be a key or something to designate a target.

Yeah, looks like an early equivalent of a LANTIRN or Litening.
Except this thing will not have a laser designator.
As for a bombing computer, they were pretty rudimentary at best. Maybe they had an early CCRP, but the effectiveness of that I'd find doubtful, judging by the claimed effectiveness and opinion of the GBU-8/B (which was not actually a laser guided bomb)

Here is the complicated bombing computer of the F-4 in Vietnam. You had to set the parameters and guess wind
