You should have mentioned the different ways bombs are fixated on the plane. Hardpoint or cradle as well as the position of the hard point will come into effect. Like if the bomb is hard pointed on the fuselage itll be more centered to the cross hair and wing hard points will be slightly deviated to either wing. Some Stuka have the cradle drop and that changes the drop point to a little lower than the crosshair. Still great video 😁

god this is underrated and deserves waaaay more views

You forgot the fourth way to bomb a target. The technique that the Japanese used against us.

It must be effective, since I see a ton of people doing it in arcade battles...

[JaredAF]

I like your guides. You're not an obnoxious or pretentious presenter like so many

Happy to see you here in the comments! :) Sharing around the video helps more than you probably can imagine. If you got any suggestions or questions then drop them right here. Thanks for stopping by! :)

I used to be amazing at five bombing, but I lost that skill somehow. This really helped in my attempt to regain my 6th sense.

[CSGreywolf]

Thank you for making this, ive been playing Warthunder for 4 months now, and really needed this help

[goomba]

Ngl im very thankful for this video, ive been trying to dive bomb for ages

I still can't dive bomb but hearing german names pronounced with a german accent makes me happy

[LuizRanieri.]

This video changed my life, I have struggled for ages with CAS, always kamikazing in the process, tried the thing with the bf109, first: IT WORKS!! 2nd: tried with the 190, first it landed after the target, tried again but this time dropped the bomb at the last second just like with the 109 but with the tank spot on on my sights, BEATYFULL HIT!!

Moving targets don’t matter as long as you have a big bomb👍

I have an idea for you, advanced RB guide for the advancing players. Those that have at least 4-5 months in game. Map positioning per vehicle type. Ammo per armour type. Proper angling per vehicle type. Each could be their own video with how much a player could learn about each. I think these are important for people to know.

Tip: if you hold right bumper (on Xbox) you get a view of where your bomb goes and it will automatically pull up and go level. It is quite useful

[totalwartitan]

The plane nose technique also works well with the Bf-110

[jacquesedwardquilang]

Thabk you this actually helped me, my rule of thumb is to maintain 800km of altitude and then dive any enemy at 400km/h, I just point my cursor to the enemy and it works wonderfully.

[Damian-x]

Personally I like doing something like 5:35, or even lower and usually more shallow. And no angles or airbrakes, just speed and instinct.
Fly so close to the target that it's hard to miss.
Kinda like with the walls you've talked about, except the enemy tank is the wall in this case. The bomb hits tank's side and it has no way to escape. You are so fast that you are likely to get away with it, being so low also makes it easier to use terrain as cover from SPAAs.

Thank you so much, I was trash at CAS but now I am getting better at it!

[glebovskimalcovich]

I have my personal technic to drop bombs, I don't now how to call it but let it be high speed mid altitude bombing. The technic is to get 2-3 km altitude and then go to shadow dive with maximum speed (500-700km/h) and then drop bombs at around 1000-700m. The benefits of this that you are very fast target and you have little time over target, and bombs dropped from high speed fly strait to pointer (or very near of it) so that makes aiming much easier, and after bombs have been dropped you can do what ever maneuver you want because of speed and energy you have got from high speed drive. This is working the best with Americana fighter bombers like p-47 or p-51.

[MattnessLP]

Thanks for the tutorial, thid is exactly what I needed. I was never able to ise CAS in Ground RB effectively, because I always miss my targets. Hopefully this knowledge will make things better!

[rubiepie]

Stuka bomber in the cockpit actually have a good details of how you should drop it which kinda Unique. I always go 30-45° before dropping. The bombs I learn my mistake of diving head first on lower altitude xd

His game is so geeky and I love it . Only rank 2-3 air and land, but like learning more and having fun
