Hi all,
I’ve played this game for about 10 years now with a longer break, and I decides do play bombers in simulator, but I really can’t get it going, that green line for CCRP doesn’t show up altough I’ve marked a target on the minimap, I really have no idea what to do as I can’t play without it.
I’ve checked tons of tutorials but I simply don’t know what to do, I’ve doen countless test flights to at least get something but no idea what I’m missing.

Can anyone please help me?
I’ve tried gunner perspective and cockpit mode etc, just don’t know what to do anymore

It doesn’t have a HUD so don’t expect it to have that CCRP line thing. CCRP is generally useless on it. Besides, you have a bombsight.

Oh damn, me seeking for hours for nothing, but at that high altitude how do you even see a base?

Well, why are you bombing bases at 8 km up? Just fly close to the ground if you’re looking for bases. If you wanna fly high, go for the airfield.

And stand absolutely no chance against fighters, it is even hars enough on hight alt but low no chance at all

You’d at least be harder to spot by radar or by eyes if you hug the ground. Then again if you really wanna bomb bases at alt, just use the targeting camera to look at the bases.

“Hunter” made a video about the B-52 in SIM, it’s very educational, he uses the squad marker to navigate and better see the bases.
