No Bomb-Release

[Ragnar65]

Guys, I´m pretty sure this topic was already handled in the forums, but can´t find any information... Eventually I purchased the Anton yesterday. I knew of the issues with the CBs, but today I had to realize, that the bomb doesn´t get released. Checked CBs and relevant switches, everything is fine. But the bomb doesn´t fall when pickelbutton is pressed...

Is this a known bug or a fault of mine???

Did You set the Bomb mode ?

 

 

 

 

Look behind the stick on the center console.

 

 

Select either Sturz OV, MV or Wagerecht MV, OV.

Sturz: Dive

Wagerecht: Level

OV: Without delayed bomb fuze

MV: With delayed bomb fuze

Did you set fuse timing?

When "Bomb fusing selector" is in the middle, "OFF" position (default pos.), you will not drop bomb.

Guys, of course BombMode was selected. Tried every single setting as well. Du you fly the Anton and drop Bombs?

[saburo_cz]

Yes, i do :)

Maybe you aren't using the right bomb release button? Don't know what is it right now, but stick buttons were a mess back at release time.

 

 

S!

[Ragnar65]

Yes, i do :)

So does bombing work for you?

That's a DCS screenshot. High likelihood taken himself

Yes, it has been working since release day.

 

May be ManOwar's hint?

Do you have this set for bomb drop?

Guys, got it... Was the damned "Abwurfwaffe"-CB, which was off... Besides - any tipps how to aim at bombing? Put the target in the middle of the sight and pickle at a named point? How about bombing in "Wagerecht"?

Not the middle, the lower reticle, where circle and vertical line cross is a good aiming point. Also a couple notches lower than that is good, depends on what "style" you like with regards to speed and diving angle. I usually prefer the lower notches in a +30º dive and maybe 3 to 400Km/H, but that's personal preference. Watch your fuse setting and drop altitude.

 

S!

 

Edit: BTW I didn't drop a single bomb with Anton :lol: but those numbers and references for Luftwaffe aircraft use to work every time. You tell me if they did :thumbup:.

Thank you, I will report how it works... Coming from CCIP and CCRP in modern jets it will be a real challenge to hit anything other than innocent foliage... ;-)

Bombing with WW2 fighters is a hit and miss thing and can never be very accurate.

 

I normally dive towards the target at 20-30°, keeping the target at the bottom of the sight, dropping the bomb at 2000-1500 ft (700-500 m).

when dropping this close to the target use MV.

 

Level (wagerecht) bombing is even harder, and is best used againt trains and vehicle coloumns flying over the train / coloumn.

It can also be used against bridges, flying along th span of the bridge.

 

Both methods requires some traing inorder to get the right "picture" where to aim and when to drop.
