F-5E - Line of Sight / Reference from cockpit


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi all.

 

Does anybody figured out good visual references for line of sight whitin cockpit?

 

It is very difficult to identify the right place/moment to initiate a dive in the required angle for a bombing or rocket run.

 

Thanks!

I like to offset 45 degrees from the target. Track until its at the lower edge of the canopy near the rail and roll in. It's alot of trial and error. Practice with the F5 instant action ground attack on either NTTR or Caucasus for easy reset if you mess up. You will get a feel for it eventually.

Manual provides example of the line of sight on p.238,242,245.

 

It's good info as a start point. I'd love to have pics from my cockpit with lateral and vertical angles of sight... maybe some day will do It... but... time!!!

This is exactly my approach as well. Sets you up for a nice 30 degree dive angle.

 

The approach I like even better is 200' @ 400 knots.
