Ground attack: SBD-3 dive bomb

Post by :FI:Genosse » Sun May 20, 2007 11:02 am

Since I´ve been awarded for my theoritcal lessons for bombing I felt to expand this section of the BB with a new entry. On this way I´d like to thank all of you who voted for me (... as Falcon uses to say: "Checks are in the post, folks!" ;) ).

Today I´d like to show you how to use the SBD-3 with a loadout of 1x1600lb. bomb in a dive bomb run. Hopefully the following pictures will be self-explanatory ... ;)

How do you get the aircraft carrier to not shoot at you?

Goodwee tutorial, Gen;)

butcan we go with higher angle down? I was thinking of hitting the deck nearly vertically, so the bomb penetrates thedck and explodees underneath it.
