Kalasnkova74 Posted February 7 Posted February 7 (edited) Does anyone have a list of effective “off the cuff” direct dive bombing parameters for the F-4E? Of course the best method is to plan a strike using the map and attack a pre-set target with established parameters using the bombing computer. But in a dynamic “troops in contact” situation, you won’t know the target altitude & run in details will be whatever direction gets you to the target without hitting a mountain or getting shot by ground fire. Clearly F-4 users developed profiles crews could use in case Dive Toss was inop - in fact that caused a scandal in the USAF TAC when crews dive bombed manually and pencil whipped a “Dive Toss” sortie to meet statistics. Otherwise, disregard if an existing resource is available or classification is a concern. Edited February 7 by Kalasnkova74

Also, you can create yourself tables by using the Bombing Tool (RCTRL+B) - select DIRECT :)
