Bombs
Like rockets, bombs are unguided munitions. Using them effectively takes practice, especially given
the Sabre’s limited payload of only two bombs, which can be dropped simultaneously or individually.
Accurate bombing results are best achieved using steep dive angles of 30° or greater, for example:
• 30° suit for 6000 ft. of altitude;
• 40° for 7000 ft.
For best results, begin the attack at an altitude of at least 15,000 feet above the target and 290 KIAS.
Complete the attack and pull up at an altitude of no less than 3,000 feet.
To help yourself to accommodate you can call up the information bar be pressing L.Ctrl + Y .
If you need to change from imperial units to metric go to the F10 map F10 and click on the label
