Reliable bombing techniques?

[swartbyron]

I know the Mi-24 is still WIP and we are still waiting for depression tables, attack profiles etc but I was wondering if anyone has found any reliable bombing techniques that work for them in the meantime?

 

Thanks

Instinct? Apparently some pilots got enough experience to be pretty good at it in Afghanistan.

Real life bombing tables are hard to read, they almost all are using the time delay, and that’s not even implement or at what point the target passes on the sight do you press the trigger that the delay is designed to start from? 

 

I just made my own method with trial and error, 300kmh at 100 altitude for FAB 250 an angle of 5 degrees and 30 minutes works well but if you have a full load of four you’ll have trouble going that fast and might need more like 6 degrees. That’s good enough for me right now, just need to experiment to make my own table for like 275kmh and FAB 500. 
 

I would’ve had more practice if I realized the cold start bug with English avionics language was the reason I couldn’t drop with cold start! 
the weapons range IA missions are great ways To experiment amd figure out your own method.

Thank you, this is just what I've been looking for.

Not really I just tried it and 5 degree is too high for me, needed to lower it. Takes a lot of practice, you’ll never be perfect I don’t think but just practice in the weapons range mission. I change it to air start by the range with unlimited ammo and fuel so I can practice until kingdom come
