watch midway and you will learn

[burg4401]

test drive, practice. play it in ab, learn / remember what and how you aim when you kill.

there are also vids on it.

Roll upside down before you dive, you'll have more time to get on target.

If all else fails, either tenno heika or praise allah in all chat, and commit.

Planes have different characteristics. Some pull up quickly and let you dive fast but others suffer compression, which is when your plane becomes less responsive/agile at high speeds.

Often you want to slow down as soon as you start driving, to let you get close/accurate and still be able to pull up. Try your airbrake if you have one and/or reducing your throttle as you enter a dive.

Diving from above can make it safer to attack anti-air enemy who can't aim well vertically.

Howevet diving and climbing can lose you a lot of speed, making you vulnerable to attack.

Experienced players often have good bomb aim so prefer to maintain good horizontal speed while bombing, relying less on diving to aim well.

Proper bombers have a special view (which you can toggle to - mine is linked to my V key) that gives you accurate bombing sights. That lets you bomb from higher altitudes without any need for diving.

i use the ju 87 b2 and r2 and i can never get any hits in rb so can you help me there?

- Use roll + elevators to point your plane down
- reduce / turn off throttle depending on your speed
- keep your target in the middle of your crosshair and plane nose
- slam spacebar then you reach close enough und pull up with increased throttle

dive at a 45 degree angle and once the tank is right infront of your nose, drop the bomb and pull up

This but you want a steeper angle in a Stuka. you want to dive at a 60-70 degree angle to the ground and don't forget to use airbrakes since otherwise with most dive bombers your wings will rip before you get close enough.
