Guide for correct use of unguided Bombs?

[Pfadfinder]

I tried the last days to use unguided bombs with the Su-25 but the Su is driving me crazy. I just can't figure out why sometimes i have a amber light and sometimes not.

So im looking for a guide which shows exactly how to engange the target and drop the bomb.

Or as an alternative a manual which describes how the calcuation for the avionics works

 

Second question, is there a way to drop the bomb without the amber light manually?

 

Thank you in advance!

Correct way would be in a 20-30 deg dive with about 600 km/h speed. You may need to wait for the pipper to come up. Also be sure to use the laser for ranging.

 

Bombs can be overrided with the launch override keys.

Thanks so far and how do i approach the target correct? If i flow straight to it, it gets out of sight under my Airplane and i have to guess when im in the right distance so i approach in an angle and dive then in an curve down to it but no idea if this is the correct procedure.

Remember, you're in an airplane! :pilotfly:

 

Once the target gets close enough to disappear under your nose, fly just a tad bit closer. Then pitch up a little, maybe a 30 degree climb for about a second, and then roll inverted. Look out the windscreen to get sight of your target again (you may have to roll around a bit to see it if the canopy is in the way). Once you've sighted it again, pull back into your 20 or 30 degree dive, putting the target in the reflector glass, then roll back over and put the pipper on the target. You should be right side up, in the proper dive, with the pipper on the target. Pickle when ready! :)

 

This works well for any aircraft where you can use CCIP to deliver bombs.

Thats also an idea, and without question the much cooler way than to approach with an angle.

Has anyone an idea what the real procedure is?

Suppose my target is a convoy of trucks on a road. I fly at 90 degrees to the road and observe it out to one side - visibility is better sideways and you can quickly roll for a second or two to improve your view. I aim for a spot in the sky over the road ahead/behind the convoy that I think will give me a correct dive angle when I get to the road and make my final turn to be parallel with the road for the attack.
