There has been some discussion on how to calculate the bomb release angle in IL2/ROF so I've put a post up on http://www.ecca.me/2011/10/level-bombing-in-il2/ detailing the physics and a formula you can use.

I'm in the process of creating an interactive calculator and I'll post when thats finished.

Let me know what you think.

Hmm I was hoping for something more like this.

B+D=B00m.

B=Bomb
D=Drop

B00m= 1 (million dead Germans (None of whom will be getting into heaven ;) )

But thank you Eamon I'll STUDY this later when I get a sec :^o

Although I'm not a bomber type its intersting stuff. So long as the target is the size of a football field it will probably help on those occasions when all the fighters are gone by the time I join a mission.

Germans ? Heaven ?. Nah, doesn't seem likely to me.

I don't mind if you have a declining attitude towards German politicians, bank managers, millionaires, aristocrats, nationalists, fascists, communists and whatnots. But leave the rest of us out of your megadeath plans. We still just want to live our lifes as you , too ... At least we're not allowed to go to Heaven ... according to our Eldest Pike the forgetful One. :roll:

BTW, Dec ... 1+1 is equal 2, in'it? :p

It's is Frank, and with math skills like Dec's one can see how easy it was for Ireland to get into a banking crises :D

What banking crisis are you referring too, isn't it a German banking crisis based in Ireland , Greece , Italy , Portugal , Spain, :D BTW Frank i am not anti German, the 1 million could easily be French :^o anyway the math is sound------------one German banker with 1 euro + 1 French banker with 1 euro gives them to a Irish Banker which equals to a loss of 1 million euro to Irish taxpayer :?

Bombsight table should work as well in RoF
...................
Just bought a bunch of planes in the recent sale .Jumped in server this morning - not 1 single aircraft there I can fly.

At least please include default models.

ok I've added an interactive bomb release angle calculator at
http://www.ecca.me/samples/bombcalc.html

Would anyone find a Windows 7 desktop handy for this?

Any other utilities anyone would like to IL2/ROF ?
