can someone help me with a simple mission of bombs dropping

[rocket302]

ok, i'm trying to create a mission to have German bombers fly over London and drop bombs on bridge. however everything i keep doing from my searching,  the plane will not drop the bombs.

here is what i did, 

1. i set a German bomber on map with bombs, 

2. gave it waypoints to the bridge.

3. Set weapons free

3. set bombing and moved the red arrow to the location i wanted the bombs dropped.

 

instead the plane just flys over the area and nothing.

 

feel free to make a small mission i can copy

Hi,

Dont set weapons free.

 

Designate Bomb type as Iron Bombs, and best is , amount to all.

 

Attached is a Mission file...Its pretty complex...but just look under unit lists, then follow the Bombers and you will get all their settings...

 

Happy bombing

Thanks was able to get mine to work after trial and error. The issue is that you have to start your bombing run a long way from your target. I kept placing my plane and. Bombing run close so I could test it. 
 

thanks for the mission I’ll give it a try too

Hi,

 

Thats also definately a factor...you will find if you use formations...especially as they get bigger...the IP needs to be even further away from the target
