F-5E Bombing Tutorial 

I might be wrong on this, but I’m fairly sure if you change your sight back to “Missile” it resets the depression angle. So when you talk about not having a vector - I know you settled on using the top of the sight - but binding left and right on the sight setting dial you can just spin it left for the set up and then right for the attack.

I honestly never thought I would see the day you would fly an F-5E and I am not sure if I should be happy you found a great module or sad that your convictions were compromised :) I hadn't thought about using the top of the sight reticule as an aim off point. I usually use the height of the vertical metal pieces that hold the reflecting glass as my flight path guide but I will have to try your method and see how it works. The beauty of the F-5E is that it sits in a sweet spot between a trainer and a module you can take on a PvP server without being a blind target. It is a great vehicle to learn the fundamentals because there are not a million systems to learn and distract you. It is also a dangerous opponent if piloted by someone that has a sense of what they are doing.

The F5 has a gunsight not a HUD, the targeting reticle is not supposed to be used as a flight instrument, and it definitively does not accurately display the flight path vector in most flying conditions. For that purpose, it is literally as good as lining up the top of your panel.

love the videos, random discord notification noises make me question my existence

I won’t say my way is better and it sure isn’t the Air Force way, but I’ve had a lot of success with 33mils depression and approaching @ 350knt & 7000-10000 feet agl to start with the target to my side. I watch the target slide down just above the canopy rail until it reaches that bit of red tape(?) and then pull into the target as you do. I throttle back and descend at about 35-40 degrees with pipper below the target (maybe halfway between the pipper and the top of the circle. Then I’m counting down the altimeter. About a thousand feet before release I gently pull the pipper up to the target and release at either 3000 or 2000 feet agl above the target (3000 for a building or 2000 for something smaller like a vehicle). Throttle up and gently pull away. I’m aiming below the target initially because if the target fires I find that it’s harder for it to calculate aim when I’m not heading directly for them. Don’t know why it works for me but I had a lot of difficulties with other methods no matter how much I practiced. So I made adjustments to what I read in Chuck’s Guide instead.

Thank you Iain.

Man, the F-5 is such a good looking bird.

Denizens! That sounds interesting! I’ve never been a denizen before. Not that I know of.

Any chance you'd make a video on Enigma's Cold War server or against enemies that shoot. A couple times I've done dive attacks on tanks and been killed.

Can you link to a Sully video, as you reference in the video? Thank you for the vid. Excellent work, once again.

Hey excellent video, do you have the parameters for bombing in each plane ?

Is this target track script included in DCS or is it possible to download it?

... what happened with the F-5 in the canadian air force?
