It literally just gives you the arcade bomb marker on the ground if you’re nose down enough. You have to have it activated but thats normally just one button, and then you may have to have the weapon selection activated and the bombs selected. But its pretty easy.
If thats the case I stand corrected, however on my HUD whenever I have each weapon selected on the aircraft that have it, its always said CCIP for bombs and CCRP for rockets.
And it does work with rockets, you get a little crosshair pointing where on the ground the rocket will land.
I dont think war thunder does how that article explains CCRP to work, Its always been just a marker showing where your bullets/bombs/rockets will land if you fired them at that moment, so you just use it as a crosshair/weapon sight.
but that article says CCRP marks the target and gives you an indicator of when to release the weapon.
Thanks for all the answers - I’ve now got the controls set up - but this doesn’t seem to work in test flight - I have a target (tank or AA) selected, hit the “Switch Mission bombing target” key… and nothing…
Is that just a test flight issue does anyone know??
ETA - just tried it in a game and working - at least the indication did… bombs didn’t release as I expected on 1st base selected, but did on next one - will play around :)
Try using Ripple mode to select how many bombs you want to drop. With none selected, bomb release will just drop a “one” bomb (if thats pairs it will drop a pair)
If you are using bomb series, then bomb series is currently bugged with weapon selection and it will drop all sequentially, no matter how many you have selected before hand
It’s just too bad that we don’t have more options in choosing the amount of bombs we want to drop in a ripple for planes that had that feature. Instead we’re just stuck with 2, 4, 8, or 16.
