Bomber view

[Krido]

Why when i fly with fighters and intereptors with bombs i cant use F7 to bomber view?

[Mahd78]

Only if that plane has bomber view you can use it. Even some bombers doesn't has it.

I see, so how i am suppose to learn how to bomb targets in realistic mode without making my entire team lose every round?

You have to dive bomb : https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/47935-how-to-dive-bomb/
Also use bigger bomb to increase chance of getting kill. For germany it's better to use planes with Mk 103 30 mm canon or some planes with big canon.

In mid tier me 262 with 50 canon is very good and effective also in top tier atgm and rockets are more effective than bombs like g.91 r/3.

Thank you for valid advices :)
Also as a information, i only fly Japaneses planes. I dont like to split a long grind across many nations so i just focus on one.

Im mainly playing simulator. In my experience its all about getting to know each plane. Ofc bigger bombs makes it easier to get a kill. But you also need to know how your plane reacts.
How wild can you dive, drop the bomb in the specific angle and stil get out of the dive without kissing the ground.

I think the best advice is to practice alot. It can be tough, but also very rewarding feeling when you make a perfect dive bomb.

Uhm, Japanese is not really good for bombing.

There bombers suck, and there bombs suck even more.

Be VERY careful with selecting Japanese bombs and ALWAYS check the amount of TNT in them.

With the Japanese bombs often BIGGER means WORSE in game.

No. I seen enough to tell you this : small bombs can't even damage tracks of tanks.
Japanese planes a lot of times dropped small bombs on me and my teammates and they failed to even immobilize us and they dropped them on our tank not near it.Right on our tank and nothing.We laughed at them.

To be fair, i dont even plan on learning how much damage vs something bomb deals. First i need to learn how to land them on targets. Only after that i will be learning rest since there is no point in knowing how much damage x bombs will deal if they wont land on target :D

Golden age of bombing was when fab-5000 was able to kill a lot of tanks in big circle with no problem. Now it's over.

Is there any guide that is new? That post for bombing is from 2013 and we have 2020 already. Game got at least 2 overhaul changes in flying mechanics and i wont even start to count changes in all planes and weapons.

start with arcade mode and watch what your artificial bomb redicle does as you approch from different angles at different heights

It wont help at all unless you expect me to remember milions of different speeds, aproaches and plane models. Its useless overload of informations...
I remember a few years ago video that someone was using first person target sight from cockpit as model to measure distance needed for releasing a bomb but i cant remember what that video was...

You don't need to do this.

Do it often enough, and your brain will do it for you.

You may call it intuition then.
