Searching for bombing guide/tip (RB)

I try to understand how to bomb in RB without dropping them too early nor to late as fighter

There's some math you can do, but because of the map designs it's often useless. As a fighter you can always do a near straight dive for a moment and drop ensuring your bombs fly perpendicular to your target. Another tactic (one I use a lot) is to fly and drop your bombs very low to the ground and have them bounce a little to hit a target, it's very effective against ground targets such as tanks, just make sure you throw something like a 2 sec delay on your bombs or you can damage your plane.

so time bomb and low altitude get it, but to sink ships time bomb won't work, and flying perpendicular to the ground actually made me throw my bomb behind me

This is a general guide for all bombers

You want to be good at flying bombers? Well its not an easy task you have to have very very very good observancy skills and NEVER TUNNEL VISION, thats a greta way to get you and your crew killed. Another tip would be to not fly directly towards the bombing point. Go around and out of enemy fighters, I cant stress it enough. Also dont trust team mates ever most of the times ive died are when kids want to get into formation and end up ramming each other. If your going to fly in fromation i suggest you do it in sqaudrons. If you are the last one alive on your team DO NOT DIVE EVER. Keep your altitude high and speed low, no point in going quickly youll just over heat your engines. NEVER TRUST YOUR AI GUNNERS manually controll turrets and learn to aim. LEARN ENGINE CONTROL. If you have a good understanding of how 20th century engines work, youll have a good idea of what to do, If an engine is leaking anything TURN IT OFF. You can bind the controlls in settings. And most of all, get a good skin for your aircraft :P.

I already discovered this myself, my issue is to bomb without a reticle, still, your post may help other fellow newbie bomber player, second thing it seems that even with linked conttrol I can only turn off all engine whilst having engine 1 control on
