philstyle Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 As stated in the title, carpet bombing & bombing tasks ignore all variables and drop a single bomb from the lead aircraft only. My experience is that this is not correct. Carpet combing does work (to a degree0. It's just VERY fiddly to get it to work properly, consistently.

cauldron Posted April 15, 2020 Author Posted April 15, 2020 If you could share an example of a simple working drop, would be great.
Reflected Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 There is a dropdown menu where you can select how many bombs they drop. Choose "All". Also, make sure the bombers are loaded with more than one bomb. It works on my end. Good luck! Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
philstyle Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 (edited) If you could share an example of a simple working drop, would be great. 1. Check that ALL bombers have full load of bombs (12x ANM64) 2. Make sure they group is set to "Ground Attack" task 3. ensure the lead aircraft is set to leader, leader, leader in the Combat box formation, under WW2: Big formation way point task. Have that set right from the origin WP 4. bombers seem to need 10km at LEAST of run into target and 10km after target before turning. If, on their run in, the bomb doors never open, this usually mens you have not given them enough run in distance, OR you've added a turn into their flight plan too near to the target. 5. Specify how many bombs you want them to drop (WEAPON = Iron Bombs, REL QTY = ALL) 6. Set up the lead aircraft only. Complete everything for the leader BEFORE adding any wingmen. Only once the leader is working, then add wing-men, Here is an example mission https://drive.google.com/file/d/1y9aMqeruuWqwkjGXPLZ0OYk4Ev7pHNwe/view?usp=sharing let me know if it works for you Edited April 15, 2020 by philstyle On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/
Shahdoh Posted April 15, 2020 Posted April 15, 2020 I agree with Philstyle on all but the needing 10km AFTER the release. I have been able to get successful carpet bombing done and have them turn and dive/climb immediately after release. This was done with 9-12 aircraft in the group. Everything else is spot in in my experience, with the lead time/range to the actual target being the key.
cauldron Posted April 19, 2020 Author Posted April 19, 2020 I have got it working now. Thank you all for the help. I was not allowing enough lead time on course prior to the drop point. It seems i can pick any kind of formation, and it can effectively turn immediately after the 'last bomb' is away. thanks for the model mission as well. Appreciated.
