It has neither bomb sight nor bomb ballistic computer

so you have to do it world war two plane style to make it accurate?
How to do it.

Use it in test flights with arcade settings, that gives you a bomb crosshair. Use that to practice bombing

Bomb sights can be hot keyed or cycled to with by default 'v" but you need bomb sights, not all planes have them.

The same way you do so in the F-5C I would guess, make an educated guess and release. There are different techniques you can use, as well as practicing in test flight (I like to find something that resembles an x, like 4 fields meeting or a road intersection and practice with that.)

Flying low can help too at reducong guesswork. Unfortunately it doesn't seem Japan gets much in terms of ground attack aid until the F-1 at 10.3 for their post war jets.

There are some old movies made for IL-2 1946 that show you how to use the cockpit view for bombing from a fighter or dive bomber without a sight. Those cam be useful since the physics are not too different (though WT added more spread.)

I can only do diving one. But that will makes me dies to enemy guided missile.
Fly too close I get killed by my own bomb.

For that, you need to set a good timer for your bomb. Maybe 2 seconds should be enough at most jet speeds.

The T-2 is one of those jets stuck in an awkward place in terms of BR and equipment. A while ago this would be a smaller problem as the most it would see is the occassional R-60 from a newer MiG-21 or Yak-38, now we also got the 60MKs and AIM-9Ls and Gs like no tomarrow when the best it has are AIM-9Es.

I'd be fine with just having 9Es if it had countermeasures. That's what really kills the viability of so many planes around br 10 rn imo

That's the fun part...you don't.

Welcome to Japan, you should be used to this if you're at the T-2 already. We don't get much in the way of parity.

And what do get Gaijin has to is somewhat make up from sales brochures (F-16AJ) or old blueprints, as we have seen with the R2Y2.

They did have one of the best sabers for a while. It can still be good when fighting within its BR too.

Oh boy don't look in the German, Russian, US, or Swedish tech tree then...

T2, like f5c, has no ballistics computer or bomb sight. You'll just have to dumb-drop them, which becomes much easier with experience. Also yeah you can practice in test flight with arcade bomb indicators

Likely couldn't, the F-1 has ballistic computers but was introduced like 7 years later or something
