This thing really deserves huge, huge bombs. And a bombsight.

And make it faster. I know it´s huge, but flying at walking speeds? ugh

And infinite bombs. It's so easy to bring down, it wouldn't make it OP.

You can kind of make your own - I forget who suggested it but they used one of the lifeguard shacks on the beach as a practice target and its a great idea. When using the furthest 3rd person view on the Bushka the bombs will hit just below the bottom of the screen, or just behind the tail of the plane in the nearest 3rd person cam. Using farthest 3rd person view in the Volatol, the bombs hit almost exactly between the plane and the bottom  of the screen. This is all in level flight at high-to-full speed and dives or climbs will certainly change trajectories but enough practice makes it a breeze to bomb even other aircraft!

But at what altitude though?

I don't have any exact numbers, only practice but in my experience its pretty consistent as long as you're low enough that the bombs won't despawn. Matching bomb trajectory to a moving target certainly becomes more difficult at higher altitude so lower is usually better - I like to use Dispatches III and VI for moving target practice. Mogul and Tula are more intuitive than the big planes, at normal to high speeds they'll hit the target when it's obscured by the fuselage, when using the closest 3rd person view and Mogul is an especially good dive bomber, often hits the target with the nose pointed straight at it at a 45-60 degree dive. B11 is close to that and a full-speed Rogue can scoop a bomb all the way into the back of the hanger on LS Connection.

If I'm not mistaken, bombs won't hit the ground if the airplane is above 1000ft(first line in the minimap altimeter), so I'd say you're between 500ft to 1000ft in the air...Interesting.

 

I'll make some experiments tonight with my Rogue and report back.

My god these planes are cool..
