Bombing is difficult but i spend half the time in one. When in historical battles, always have a buddy as fighter  flying next to you.

I utitlize several tricks. High altitude carpet bombing on columns for example. But this take practice and skill. Most arcade players wont even bother going above 2 KM.

Another one is to fly high, then when approaching the target, you start to dive, gain imense speed and then dive shallow towards your target (Stuka's divebombed at 90 degrees. If you are not flying a divebomber, Do it in an angle around 40 degrees)

Some bombers have advantages over others.

The A-20G is an excellent light bomber with 6 powerfull .50's in the nose and reasonable defensive armament and armour. Bombing selection is poor however, with only 4 x 500KG bombs.
The B-25J is more manouverable then the A-20G, has lower speed but far better defensive armament and armour. Aswel as a wide selection of bombs


When it comes to actuall bombing the Wellington has the best bombing layout. one gigantic 4000LB bomb. Or how bout 2 torpedo's? No other plane has that in its rank.

Soviet bombers are rather weakish in defensive armament initially and carry little payload. They are manouverable however.

German bombers are pretty cool low tier, later on they suck. But then comes the DO217 E2 wich is epic.

For bombing wait 2 minutes, then begin your game, make sure you are not in front, go low, maybe 200 meters, drop your bombs, everybody is so busy they don't notice you. It is also smart to stay close to friendly fighters. with some luck you can do 3 trips even before being shot down.

All bombs make damage to airfield but unless you have 1000 kg you shouldnt try it...

I think it doesn't matter how big the bombs are, its just a matter of total payload delivered, so 40x100lbs or 4x1000lbs or 1x4000lbs should do the same damage, unless ofc. something changed when i wasn't looking.

In 1.29 the bigger the bomb the more damage it would deal to the airfield.

Not just 100kg and 1000kg bombs hitting, but 1000kg would do "extra" damage because of the impact of the bomb + the explosion. I can't explain it too well but the bigger the bomb the more extra damage there is, and not just because of the explosive

Well I meant in total 1000 kg bombs, but maybe damage makes bigger bombs, dont know... However, with IL-4 with its 1000 kg and 2x500 kg gives you over 1000 silver lions by 1 bombing run over airfield...

Found some more info. Dont bother dropping bombs smaller then 500 KG. 1000 and 2000 are the best for airfields, carriers and battleships

I hope the Lancaster gets a better bomb layout tough. Its the weakest of the heavy bombers. It should get the 3600KG "cookie" and the 5400KG cookies.

Not to mention an upgrade for the turrets. Purchasable should be the FN-121 turret. An Fn 120 Turret (currently ingame) with "village inn" gun laying radar and twin .50CAL's

Has anyone flown the HS129 B? Or shot it down? What's it like?
He was not wrong. Amateurs talk tactics, pros talk logistics.

I think i saw it twice, i have 1 level to go before i can buy it. The impression i got from it was then it isnt the best option to fly at that tier, is a cool aircraft though.

Do you see it a lot? No? It sucks unfortunately.

Alright, I bought the 'Duck' before patch 1.33 only to find out it was utter garbage. Slow, low ammunition capacity, little maneuverability, the list goes on. I stuck with it though because I didn't want my effort to be wasted. Today though, was playing some HB and I saw at the Oil had overheated. "What? This thing doesn't even have WEP, how is the oil overheating?" I was so confused. I foolishly ignored it only to have my engines die on me. I was able to land with no troubles at all, perfect soft landing with no damage taken except my engines. I get out of game ONLY to find my repair cost to be THIS (10398 lions for Arcade). I know this plane didn't preform well historically but this is just outrageous!
