Re: Jet Dumb bombing
Was hoping more of a tutorial on how to accurately bomb w/o going vertical. Vertical dive i think is the easiest one, but also risky as it takes longer to get out of the area in case of AA.
Also might be worth to check the TTL on some bombs and do some testing to find maximum height for bombs to hit ground. I am sure you could drop them even before breaking through clouds. Nice video all in all. Maybe have some 3p views when explaining the pros and cons at the end instead of blurry kashan |

Also flaring against normal IR/Radar SAMs wont help much since you will be in front of your flares and the SAM can easily lock on and engage on your approach. Is the simplest way to dumb bomb yes, but is pretty risky. | |

But then you might say "but what if there are multiple AA in one area" If there are multiple AA in one area, just don't go there. OR I dare say, ask Tank squad or APC squad to try and kill there AA if at all possible. | |

It requires a special balance of not being a fucking idiot, and working as a team to be good. All accounts of CAS whores going 100+ kills comes down to a larger group then just the pilot working together and giving intel to the pilots. So CAS isn't OP, People playing against them are just not as co-ordinated. | |

Re: Jet Dumb bombing
Plus unless the map is broken and unbalnced if cas gets 100 kills it is partly because the opposing team sucks and isn't try to fight back properly or adjusting their tactics against above average cas.

M/SA CLOS SAMs require no lock on so unless the dive bomber takes you totally by surprise then its pretty easy to engage them: https://www.realitymod.com/forum/f19...m-systems.html And on the Falklands, which is the main map you will find dumb bombing on in v1.4 since pretty much all the bombs in PR:F are dumb bombs (other than one British Harrier GR3 which does carry Paveway II LGBs, but that has a very long, delayed spawn, and wont be seen much) and with the maps 3km view distance and many of the SAMs being CLOS SAMs, its going to be pretty hard to take them by surprise, especially things like the Frigate which will be able to see you coming from up high, long before you can see it and with it on the move, will make it hard to hit in a dive bomb, and your best approach for your own safety, like in r/l, is to fly very low to the ground, using the terrain to mask your approach and protect you from fire for as long as possible But ye on normal PR maps where the view distance is very short and the SAMs have to lock on, you have most likely already dropped the bombs and started to pull up before they have even got a tone on you... | |
