How the fuk do you aim the ground bombs in a jet. Do you put your target in the circle and release? it doesnt lock or anything ....Im assuming thats how you do it.

Any Mavericks want to give me some clues

I cant really explain it. Some planes have a little half circle under the main aiming circle thing, thats where you should aim. If the plane doesnt have it, aim the crosshair a little higher than the target. Also, pitch down a little so the bombs dont fly 1000 feet apart. The bombs flying apart is only usefull if there are a ton of ground troops in your area. Also, dont fly low and release the bombs, youll end up blowing yourself up.

off topic: Nyck was that you in the server I was playing in on Daqing Oilfields?

i just drop the bombs about 1 - 1.5 seconds infront of my target, then kaboom, no more AA or tanks or infrantry or whatever the fuck the threat it down there.

I dive bomb, but if the surface allows it I kill groups of infantry with my wings and shit. Rather LOL.

Using ground bombs I always see a single circle in the middle with a downward line connecting to a U shaped line.

hope thats any reference. I think Im just letting them go to late. Do you let them go when you can still see the enemy?

I dont want to take an screenshot of when to release cuz when I take screenshots, I lag for a few seconds.

First of all, you need altitude. If your too low to the ground, youll blow the shit out of yourself. When you see an enemy, pitch foward and put [url=http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/8704/screen0009df.jpg:c9b0c]THIS[/url:c9b0c] on your target and release. Then pull upwards. What I usually do is press F11 to see where the bombs went so next time I know where and how to aim the bombs.

It really doesnt matter when you let do, just remember to put that thing on the enemy. Letting bombs go far away is good for stationary targets, or if theres and obstacle (cliff/hill) infront of you. If the target is moving, aim ahead of it and release.

Also, some planes dont have that little thing on the HUD, so just pretend its there cuz the bombs will still go there.

Hope that helps ya.
