How is a p51 with bombs gonna land a perfect hit on a moving target from more than 1km?
Why do You need to be over 1km away?
You just attack from an angle that no one can hit You.
That’s not possible in the games maps
Of course it is possible.
90 degree angle attacks are quite easy to do and there isn’t a tank that has a mounted mg that can hit You (or I’m not aware of it).
If plane users sees that tank is trying to hit him, he can always do another approach from an angle that tank can’t fire at.

Most of the time I’m shooting at a plane attacking someone else, just bc you are safe from the tank you are attacking doesn’t mean you are safe from his teammates

Great to hear, espeically when we were talking about player vs player situation.
Not to mention that if You know that there is a guy aiming at You, as a plane You can attack someone who is further away.
The problem here is we are conditioned early on to a 45° attack path, once we get to a BR where armor is capable the 45° attack path no longer works, anyone with a MG will instantly know your flight path, then on top anyone on a console gets a aim assist so have fun with that one,
Players need to understand that when attacking (Not in a BR with IR or Radar) no matter how you attack you will always be in AA and MG range at the middle of the dive and pulling out stages, using building and trees, hills etc… to help make getting a hit harder.
landing a hit is easy, but doing damage with such rounds as AP, HE, IT, I. The best bet is if you are not attacking a light tank just stick with bombs once you drop get out and re-arm, If you have a 20mm or bigger then you want to be around the 55° to 75°, this will give you best pen and the round has more of a chance to hit mutible parts of a tank, crew, gun, ammo, all with one AP round, the number of times I’ve ammo racked a VK 3002 (M) or Panther, M4A1to M4/T26 with one round of AP is funny.
How?
Sorry, but I thought we are talking about bombing here.
Doesn’t change that if You attack from proper angle, they can’t hit You as mounted MG is limited.
Of course not. If You put Yourself in that situation then yes, but in other cases no.
It happens to me sometimes but it’s not to “dont given a kill”, that multiphasing is not working properly, it is no longer reliable.
It has happened to me several times that I was flying below 30m and the missile still came towards me without suffering from multipathing and I continued to decrease altitude and ended up colliding with the ground, especially in headons.
It also sometimes happens that you collide with “invisible trees”… and lately there are a lot of maps with extremely low cloud as well.
There is no reason to kill yourself, death counts towards combat statistics and the crew is blocked.
If you want to be a bit sneaky clime and turn off your engine, You will make no sound when coming in, turn it back on once you are in the last 10 sec on the dive before the drop, Only people who are looking up will notice you.
sorry but I only started to read from the…
sorry for the miss hap there.
that’s because most players know the need to keep speed not just IAS but GAS 45 give and good drop and gun run and reliable accuracy on drops.
Fair point by bad.
Yes the target you are dropping on may not but anyone else that’s about 25m away or on an incline of 5/10 degrees can, and most players now will start looking to shoot you with the MG if they see Tracers from others going out at you, On your attack path you are as predictable as if I was shooting at a tank driving in an open field, all they have to do is lead you and pull the trigger maybe only one or two round hits but sometimes that’s all they need to kill you.
I can’t quite get what you are saying here by
Did you flash bang when the whole team on the dive in? did every player on the enemy team forget the fire key bind?
On the dive you are in, you are easy to hit, and in case you didn’t notice, you are IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SKY open for anyone with a brain cell and the urge to hear the lovely sound of the MG.
Sorry but when I’m using the air I don’t feel the limitation to 45 degree angle and I’m doing quite well with the air in ground battles.
So we are making an argument based on random things like teammates? Sorry but it is as reliable as artillery hitting Your plane.
I can dive with 90 degree angle making most of the players unable to hit me, then I can do it at the moment when they are not focused on me.

Every bombing guide I’ve ever seen was that you should put the target in your cockpit view crosshair while diving at a 45 degree angle. The moment they disappear under the nose of your aircraft, release the bombs and pull up.

Woah, I have never done it like that.
So you’re admitting you don’t know every tactic? Damn…
Woah, another great comment.
Not doing something in a way doesn’t mean that You don’t know that You can do it like that.
If You are bombing as described by @RunaDacino, then it explains a lot.
Thing is, you don’t understand the deterent role, and you refuse to ever acknowledge it, so you’re about as closed as you could ever be to anything ‘different’.
What now?
We are talking about bombing here and how it can be done, not some “roles”. If You are using tactics as described then there are much better ways of doing it. You will learn eventually when You get better in game.
You’d be surprised how many real-world tactics work in WT…
We are talking about bombing, but your prejudice to proclaim that someone is bad, and that roles don’t work because YOU can’t do them, is clouding your stances, constantly…
See above…

Just because they work doesn’t mean that they are the most effective.
Sorry but the discussion was about bombing before You came here proclaiming that I don’t know all tactics.
Please reread the discussion and next time when You just want to make a comment for making it, use PMs.
