Their Finest Hour : Battle of Britain
 
Commodore Amiga version


" On the German medium bombers, there was a bomb aimers position, but the results from releasing the bombs from here was very, very random to say the least. I flew dozens of test missions from the mission builder trying to find the best parameters to do a bombing run and came up with the following
  1. altitude 50ft AGL
  2. airspeed approx 250mph (memory not too sure about the exact figure)
  3. and you release the bomb just as the target passes out of sight under the instrument panel
Hey-presto! On target everytime! For some reason, even at that low level, you didn't get fragged by your own bombs as long as you were in a medium bomber. Talking about the bombs, you had the option of releasing them one at a time, or in one continuous salvo.

The targets available to you as a bomber pilot were the RAF airfields, radar stations and various factories, HQ buildings and ships. You did encounter flak as a Luftwaffe pilot, but I don't ever recall any aircraft being damaged by it, let alone being shot down - also the flak only appeared if you attacked a shipping convoy. "

MiGMan thanks Rob "Bomber" Henderson for these recollections.
