I'm a little stupid and can't work out how to aim and hit targets well in rb with aircraft and no bombsight. Please help.

The easiest method is to just fly at the target at a really steep angle, but you have to pull up early enough

ok thanks

#

and rockets? I forgot to add those on the list

#

i hear the bottom mark is for 0m

Actually the top one should be 0m but the sight is bugged in general

#

I just shoot how I think it will work

#

But all of this depends on the plane and ordinance, what are you using?

Well the typhoon only has bombs, so you can just use them, for the Beaufighter I would recommend just using the two 1000lb bombs because then you have two drops and they are quite big, after that you can use the cannons, they have good pen. Another tip for bombing: Fly straight at the target and don't turn before dropping the bombs, otherwise it will completely mess up your aiming

Also do not roll. It throws your bombs off quite far v

Rockets are tricky, because every type flies differently

#

My favourite is the Zuni, because the rocket engine propels it for very long time, which makes it drop off much later, thus being very accurate.

Also the explosive filler can overpressure with near hits

#

Rp-3 tge British get are very hard to aim. Also the aiming depends on how its mounted.
On the Firefly, it is near impossible to hit consistently, on the Hurricane, it is much easier

#

The HVAR is in between. Its more accurate than the Rp 3, but still hard to aim.
Both drop off a lot.

#

Swedish, and Russian rockets I have a hard time, because they are usually mounted very far from the plane center, on the wings, and the pattern is left-left-left-right-right-right unlike the British and US left-right-left-right

But hitting enemies with rockets is one of the most satisfying thing to do in War Thunder
