john4pap Posted October 29, 2019 Posted October 29, 2019 Has anyone figured out how to get decent results with toss bombing? I've been trying it for a couple of days now. I understand that it isn't an accurate way of bombing yet the first bomb consistently falls a few hundred metres after the target. I have tried 0.9M at 4.8km, 0.9M at 5km, 0.8M at 5km, 0.8M at 6km. I have also tried different altimeters between 20 to 70 metres, and pulling up with 3 and 2.5G instead of the instructed 4G. All I'm getting is a relatively consistent result with the first bomb falling some hundred metres after the target. Ah, and the QFE is correct. The only way I managed to get some better results is by making a radar fix way before the target. This makes me think that the computer is making calculations taking account where the target waypoint is, and that's why my bad results are consistent with different speeds and ranges. However, if I understand correctly, the target waypoint shouldn't play any role on toss bombing other than helping the pilot estimate his course and distance to the target. It shouldn't have anything to do with the execution of toss bombing, right?
LastRifleRound Posted October 30, 2019 Posted October 30, 2019 Known issue. Toss will always fall long. If you look at the youtube tutorials that are out there you will see that they all fall long, too. Been trying to get stuff like this stickied.
john4pap Posted October 30, 2019 Author Posted October 30, 2019 I found a couple of YouTube tutorials before posting this but they do it all wrong anyway--partially or completely disregarding the instructions in the manual. I hope this gets fixed soon anyway
