Air Strikes

Well, in addition to the size of the plane, I know a little something about the bombing portion. World War II aircreaft used bombing sites, since all they did was drop the bomb out of the back of the plane (torpedoes are, however, different) and try to hit their target. Those drops weren't unaimed, mind you (except some carpet bombing- usually they had a few specific targets and just dropped a bunch of extras), they used bomb sites. It was basically two bars with tick marks on it. First, the plane had to be totally level. That means the pilot had to make sure the wings are level with the ground, and the nose and tail were completely level. Then,from the bombardier position, you had to set one bar to the elevation of the plane, and the other mark to the speed of the plane. There was a circular site on the speed bar with an arrow. When the target showed up in this site, you dropped the bomb. You have to basically form an elliptical curve- when you drop the bomb, it is initially traveling forward at the same speed you are. As it falls, not only does the forward speed slow down, but the bomb will begin to fall faster. The bomb would finally reach terminal velocity, or falling as fast as it can with no more speed added to the downward movement. It is very difficult to to this while in the plane, and exceeding difficult to drop it while trying to control it from afar and viewing it from afar.

Basically, it would really suck because you'd waste all kinds of grenades with horrible misses, and you'd have problems with pulling the pins (you could tie it to the plane, but this screws up the curve AND the flight path of the plane).

*edit*
However, a good air strike occured to me by accident. Some moron in the parking lot of the field I play at held his gun straight up (or something, didn't see who did it) and accidentally peppered our entire team before the game started. There were two breaks on masks, so it wasn't that great. However, on a side note, the same *explicative* shot in a circular pattern and nailed my car with paint. I was not very happy at all.

Building an Evil Empire... One piece at a time :)

done that with my rc plane, wasn't to successful until i packed it with 500 balls, then it hit something, i'd rather shoot the enemy.

if it moves it becomes a target.

well i thought it would kinda be like an WW2 plane, stay high out of ground fire and swoop low and fast for the hit.

no, no it doesnt. keep trying man. keep trying

Real guns have gills.

yeah, damn more complicated than i thought. ill keep tryin

shoot th plane and make it crash helicopters work

in some big scenario game i think skirmish the hired a heli to fly over and some guy wit 22 bps ramping as shoot at everyone below it was awsoum
