Can somebody teach me how to pull up from a dive?
Never really learned how to do it in RB. Most of the time I just drop my bombs and crash because I can't pull up.

i dont play Planes in RB much but you should try to keep your speed low and if you have air breaks extend them.

You need to know roughly the speed where your plane starts to compress.

Cut throttle to zero before you dive and if you're still going too fast, don't commit to the bomb run. Pull out of the dive while you can, max power, loop around and try again.

The simple (but also not so simple) answer is to practice bombing with different aircraft and different angles and speeds. Many aircraft will lock up at high speed and you end up in the dirt.

Dive bombers are great practice imo since they have airbrakes to slow their dives and are very sturdy to pull out from a dive without ripping a wing. Plus, most are at very low BR so there isn't a ton shooting back at you.

Also, bomb delay. Super important or you'll rip your wings off every time or just about. For faster aircraft (like a P-47) i'd say .5 to 1 second is plenty, for slower (say like the Ju 87) i'd say 2.0 seconds minimum for safe escape.

What plane you using OP? They can be pretty different.

And it sounds simple and kinda dumb but if you're crashing a lot just drop bombs and start pulling up way before you *think* you need to.

Like when you get that "uh oh ground coming" feeling in your case that's already too late.

it matters what aircraft you use but keep in mind flaps as well
ps i think some aircraft have dive brakes

cut your throttle and pull make sure you have enough altitude to pull up you can practice in mission maker.not all planes perform same heavier planes requires more altitude before pulling up also some planes have airbrakes which make pulling up easier
