keeno 297 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Chuck, Chuck, this is absolutely brilliant. I can see a lot of hard work has gone into making it look so slick. Thanks for a) doing and b) sharing. Cheer again. Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 1017 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 That's very nice. Btw, did anybody figure out a way to dive bomb effectively in the Pe-2? I know that it was necessary to adjust the gunsight for dive bombing, but since this is not possible (yet?), did anybody find a way to sucessfully hit targets, even when not diving 90° down?

Requiem 1735 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) Nice work Chuck! It's neat to see the pre-planning and nav options you've included, and not just the sight operation. I've been working on a video covering just the sight operation but it was put on hold due to a bug (which is when I noticed that the wind adjuster was working backwards before the last patch). Something that caught my eye though (not trying to be nitpicky, promise!) I'm not sure if you got your screenshot order mixed up, but at the end your sight altimeter is set to 2500m and not 4000m. Might be why the bombs fell short? Edited August 28, 2014 by SYN_Requiem Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck_Owl 909 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) You are absolutely right, Requiem. Good eye! That might explain why they fell a bit short.DId a quick hotfix for illustrative purposes and consistency. Edited August 28, 2014 by 71st_AH_Chuck Link to post Share on other sites
dburne 2590 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Very nice thank you! Now maybe I can take a break from the Yak and actually do a bombing run, for a nice change. Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck_Owl 909 Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 Very nice thank you! Now maybe I can take a break from the Yak and actually do a bombing run, for a nice change. For that, we're gonna need *cough* airfields to *cough* *cough bomb. *cough* *cough* High Altitude is a nightmare with smaller targets. You just can't see anything.... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

kissklas 275 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Wow! Great read. The wind angle bit was very helpful. Guess I'll get cracking on my bombing practice. Watch out airbases, because bombs are sure to fall... well, right next to you due to terrible miscalculations! But still! Thanks for the upload;) Link to post Share on other sites

Chuck_Owl 909 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 If a moderator could add the direct link to the map on the first post of both this thread and the He-111's guide's thread, it would be very appreciated. I like to keep all relevant material in one place, but I cannot edit my posts, which is not practical at all. Link to post Share on other sites
=FI=Macca 23 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hi there, any chance of putting the materials back online or were they moved? Would love to get into the level bombing as my fighter skills have serious need for improvement, best, M Link to post Share on other sites
