Centre line and external Bombs and TT = accuracy...

Post by Cavalry Corp »

Guys,

Centre line makes a difference for accuracy of MG and Cannons (according to the planes screen).

Does it make a difference for Bombs and TT? I see even in stock some planes have CL and some external/ Internal. I assume therefore this is just for chrome but wanted to ask.

Don't remember any discussion about CL/EXT for bombs.

Bombs have their own Accuracy rating that goes up with bomb weight. You can still achieve hits with small bombs (30kg, 50kg, 100kg) from very high altitudes provided pilots are experienced. I have seen Idas hit targets from 19,000 feet in Thunderstorm weather with 30kg bomb. Ida's racks are EXT.

OK tks - so it seems external, internal and CL do not do anything and they are there for Chrome - from the look of it.

Not necessarily chrome only, a bomb on an XT rack means it won't be carried if you use droptanks, in some cases the external points can only handle lighter ones.

Fighters typically can carry light bombs on external racks, or a drop tank but not both.
