it didnt drop, still have to “pull the trigger”
maybe it collides with weapon selector?
both conditions met, usual way works like charm (select mission target, align with marked base, select bombs and quantity, fly over base holding trigger and when timer goes bombs drop)
toggling automatic release just dont working for me and this plane, maybe im doing something wrong
No, you still need to give the ballistics computer permission to release the bomb at the correct time. You do that by pressing and holding the fire key.
That is the issue with some aircraft, you dont have the necessary HUD to know what base you have selected. So you may be better off manually selecting a target instead of going through the preset selection.
I’ve not flown any of the Skyhawks yet, but can jump into a test flight later this evening for some of them and have a play, see if I can see
What Im using Righ now with the Skyhawk, is using one AGM-62A as targeting pod. Sometimes I do destroy the base, but get so much trouble targeting the plane correctly that I ratter just dive bomb oin the way back :/
Id recommend a combo of CCRP and dive bombing. Set the target point when coming in at an angle and attack the base as if you were dive bombing it, but use CCRP to control the release point. Likely your best bet for accurate bombing.
Yep, having messed about a bit in test flight, then I would recommend against the preset targets as you have no way of knowing which you have selected and instead using either your gunsight or the AGM tpod trick to set your CCRP target and then either shallow dive or fly level over the target.
I cant wait for the new test flight that will have bases to bomb so for this, I used those oil tanks as a target instead
