How to use LGBs?

[two eight four]

How do I control it? Especially how do I tell it to fire at different targets if it has mutiple payloads? Does it fire by itself like the atgms?

LGB?

Which plane in specific are you talking about?
In general, all bomber planes have one option: fire position.
In my knowledge, all bombs are dropped at the same location all at once by every bomber plane in the game.

It does not launch by itself, you have to order it either by direct clicking on enemy units you want to strike, or by using the 'fire position' order, as mentioned above.
You can split bombs to different targets, by assigning new target right after first bomb has dropped and while it reloads next bomb - Act fast!

Has anyone been able to get Paveways to actually track their moving targets? They are listed as FF, similar to missiles and they are guided, so I was hoping that by keeping the tank in sight the bomb would be guided to it even if it's travelling. But in all my attempts the Paveways seem to all land on the ground where the target used to be when they were released. I'd expect that if I'm targeting a location with "T", but not when targeting a vehicle with a right click.

yes but you need sight on the target to attack i normally not with pos. fire

They usually track for me. Maybe your pilots have just been getting unlucky?

You can split them as well to hit multiple targets. Useful for infantry.

How exactly do you split it? Which key do you press?

1. Give the bomber a target (Either 'fire at pos' or just right click an enemy unit.)
2. When 1st bomb drops, and while it's reloading 2nd bomb, give a new target. (This has to be done very fast, so you should have you mouse cursor placed on 2nd target before 1st bomb drops).

Another trick, is to evac after first bomb, if one bomb is more than enough. This way, reload time will be cut in half, and the bomber will be ready for duty again much faster.
