Is there any instructions around on how to use the launch bomb on heavy fighters accurately? I can't for the life of me get it to fire where I want.

Thanks

Point your ship in the direction of where the target will be at.

Im assuming you are talking about stealth bombers.

Bombs are dumb fire. You need to know how har away you need to be so tje bomb doesnt go off too early or too late.

If the ships are moving you have to lead the target a little though. The 1st person view camera and manual flying controls should work well for this since the bomb launches in the direction the ship is facing. About the only thing that camera view is usefull for to be honest.

If they meant stealth bombers you are right.

However I suspect from their wording they may be talking about Super Cap Bombers. In which case, sorry Op, not a clue but others may be able to help you if they actually stop assuming.

Really? Visually sighting? Ship orientation - as an aiming device. How very high tech! Shocked

If we get chased by zombies, I'm tripping you.
