Thread: Bombing Ghost Pilot (Revision B)

  1. #1

    Default Bombing Ghost Pilot (Revision B)

    My favourite 2 seater has come out to play once more. The De Havilland DH.4

    After an unsuccessful first sortie, Cadbury & Leckie are determined to get picture evidence of the confirmation of a successful bomb drop on enemy supply lines.

    Squadron Leaders: Please verify these bomb runs are valid.

    *EDIT* Got it wrong again!!! Please click link http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/sho...417#post317417 to get the latest version...

    Nope ! Think I see where you're going wrong - you are moving the model on what is the bombs manoeuvre card. Bombs have their own card, stall or straight, depending on the models last card. The aircraft will have its own card for the next move.
    In your second pic - declare the bomb drop on the first card (straight) which means they drop on the next move. Make the next move (r/turn), now place the straight to the front of the model and place the bombs/check for hits. At level two as in this example they impact immediately. Then play the models next move whatever it may be. (This way the bomb card doesn't get in the way of the model movement)
    e.g. Straight (declare); R/turn (Drop bomb with straight); side slip left (?)
    Level 4 sequence: eg. R/turn (declare); Stall (Drop bomb with stall); R/turn (Move bomb with 2nd stall to impact)

    I know you may now feel but this is a valuable exercise for all of us in understanding how this works.

    I'm getting there.

    Revision C, could prove to be the making of this debacle of mine.

    Luckily, I haven't been the bomber in any multiplayer games as yet.
    I will keep working on it until it is flawless.

    After years of dogfighting, something is telling me that I have found a chink in my armour.

    I may use a different plane next time, as I now have shed loads of useless pictures
