Bombsight? We don't need no stinkin' bombsight!


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hooves, MIKHA, and myself ran a raid to the LW airbase during a busy MP weekend and I made a rough draft video out of the chaos that ensued...we also did some quick maths and figured out how to (mostly) accurately level bomb from a decent altitude without an actual bombsight:

 

Music is subject to change (I love the intro orchestra, but not into death metal) and more content to be added to 2nd half, enjoy!

Great video, but Jesus, that heavy metal is absolute crap.

I like the screaming right when our bombs hit, but other than that, that metal makes my ears bleed.  In a bad way.

It's Dimmu Borgir, it's a black metal band. 

 

It's a great band.



Here is the same piece with only the orchestra.

 

If you ask me it feels incomplete without the metal parts.

I can dig Dimmu Borgir, but I knew everything after the intro wouldn't fit well to most simmers.

 

It's a work in progress though, hopefully I'll find a suitable substitute.

S!

 

 Nice video and yes, Dimmu Borgir is great :) Those Norwegians sure know how to make black metal :) I wish I could fly too, would be a blast to join formations.

I've been on a symphonic black metal kick here lately. It's nice to see some people here with similar tastes. 

 

Currently I've been stuck on Shade Empires newest album 'Omega Arcane'. One of few albums that I can actually say I love every track.

 

Btw, nice skillz hammering that airfield. Great teamwork! I look forward to doing some bombing with the Pe-2 here soon. This is good inspiration.

Excellent bombing; that would have spoilt someone's day if they'd been waiting to take off for sure. Does show though that wind dispersion isn't in yet because there is no way a stick would hit that precisely after falling that distance.

RoF doesn't have dirspersion for bombs either. They fall perfectly every time. There was a time when I could drop a 300kg bomb directly into someone's lap from 3km up in RoF. Hopefully reducing bomb accuracy is one of the upgrades they plan to make here. Also, surely I'm not the only one who likes a bit of dimmu with their flying. I thought it was reasonably suitable, even if an unusual pick.

Glad to see people in this community actually enjoying Dimmu Borgir...I lied little bit, I fucking love them and thought this track made a unique fit (still planning to edit in some more material).

Haha good man! I love DB too.

 

Yea, I thought it made a damn good fit. But I can see how some ppl wouldn't like it... It's an acquired taste.

What a great vid! and what great music for it......right up to 1.50' :o:   Isn't there some sort of international convention banning the use of heavy metal sound tracks in flight sim movies?  No?  Should be! :P

 

Seriously; really enjoyed that.  Gave us a flavour of what we'll be able to do on the big map soon.

Nice to see some Russian flyers with initiative attacking our base  :salute:    But next time we  will get you  :ph34r:

Nice flying, really good!

 

A bit of bomb-wiggle a la CLOD would be nice to see (wind-dispersion?).

 

See you on the servers!

Death Cult Armageddon is an album all about war so it's bound to fit.

 

By the way you can rip the link I gave to you using youtube to mp3 (pretty easy to find link) and then you just put the orchestral part all over your video.

 

 

To people who don't like metal, I'd simply say it's an acquired taste. To each his own, me I like almost any musical style.

WAY outstanding, thanks guys!!!

Pretty much my exact thoughts. I grew up hating it and yet here I am listening to it on a daily basis. Funny to think about!

I'd say it's the same for every musical style even those where talent is hidden under a thick layer of shit. For instance I used to hate hip hop music. Then again I listened to old school hip hop when it sounded a bit like kraftwerk but funkier then I heard some of the real original ghetto hip hop. Now I am not listening to this on a daily basis but I know that there is some really good stuff in there.

How dare you diss Dimmu Borgir?!! :music:

 

Great bombing chaps. Keep the vids (and the metal) coming.

we were at a friend's BBQ last year and after some beers his dad, a little scrawny Yorkshire farmer with thick glasses said "Tom, why don't you play some of that belch rock of yours?"

The drunken stupor probably played a part, but we laughed for hours!

 

 

Superb bomb run btw, an LGB wouldn't have been more accurate!

Sweet video, Abortedman! I had so much fun, sim-flying with you and the other guys. We have to all sim-fly together more often. Thanks for the video!  :salute: MJ

Too bad Im away for awhile, I really wanted to get more than a 3 ship going but that team balance thing was really messing with us.  I can't wait to get a server up with no limits so we can get a huge formation of bombers!

That was a great vid mate! love the music too.

 

 

edit: I think I realised why it was familiar - I do believe I saw it from a different angle ;)

What happened to the other bomber?

I like your title, it reminds me of another one I saw on these forums. :sleep:
