War Thunder Beginner's Guide to Bombing / Dive Bombing Tutorial 

You should have mentioned the different ways bombs are fixated on the plane. Hardpoint or cradle as well as the position of the hard point will come into effect. Like if the bomb is hard pointed on the fuselage itll be more centered to the cross hair and wing hard points will be slightly deviated to either wing. Some Stuka have the cradle drop and that changes the drop point to a little lower than the crosshair. Still great video 😁

You forgot the fourth way to bomb a target. The technique that the Japanese used against us. It must be effective, since I see a ton of people doing it in arcade battles...

god this is underrated and deserves waaaay more views

I like your guides. You're not an obnoxious or pretentious presenter like so many

Moving targets don’t matter as long as you have a big bomb👍

The plane nose technique also works well with the Bf-110

Thanks a lot! Really thorough yet easy to digest guide.

I used to be amazing at five bombing, but I lost that skill somehow. This really helped in my attempt to regain my 6th sense.

Thank you for making this, ive been playing Warthunder for 4 months now, and really needed this help

Happy to see you here in the comments! :) Sharing around the video helps more than you probably can imagine. If you got any suggestions or questions then drop them right here. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Ngl im very thankful for this video, ive been trying to dive bomb for ages I still can't dive bomb but hearing german names pronounced with a german accent makes me happy

Very nice video. Will try all this!

Heyyy you made the video! Really helpful and thank youuu, you earned a sub

This video changed my life, I have struggled for ages with CAS, always kamikazing in the process, tried the thing with the bf109, first: IT WORKS!! 2nd: tried with the 190, first it landed after the target, tried again but this time dropped the bomb at the last second just like with the 109 but with the tank spot on on my sights, BEATYFULL HIT!!

cool man, I needed this video

This was so informative and very funny, rare for a tutorial

Thanks to this video, I hit most of my bomb drops

For the firebrand you can dive about 10° and at about 450 kph tas in third person aim a little above the tip of the nose

Thanks for the tutorial, thid is exactly what I needed. I was never able to ise CAS in Ground RB effectively, because I always miss my targets. Hopefully this knowledge will make things better!

The tip with dropping the bomb as the target disappears under the nose of the bf 109 was the best tip I’ve ever gotten for this game 😂

I always use your third technique. Best suited for me

I have an idea for you, advanced RB guide for the advancing players. Those that have at least 4-5 months in game. Map positioning per vehicle type. Ammo per armour type. Proper angling per vehicle type. Each could be their own video with how much a player could learn about each. I think these are important for people to know.

great thank you!!!!

Thank you so much, I was trash at CAS but now I am getting better at it!

I like his animations😂

Great tutorial! Greetings from one Heinz to another!

Thanks

Tip: if you hold right bumper (on Xbox) you get a view of where your bomb goes and it will automatically pull up and go level. It is quite useful

im getting so much better at bombing, im practically the best bomber at a sims match much of the time. only things i still struggle is carrier torpedo bombing

I watched an american how to training video for harrier pilots. they sadi come along side, roll 135 degrees into target pull hard over top and once the target disappears under the nose drop, its kind of like lobbing a football but i seems to work pretty will. especially with the breda 88

This is like the user manual of bombing

God damn You definitely Need more Views Without a doubt this video was excellent

Nice vid bro helped a lot👍👍

7:13 I wish I knew this aiming tactics before I play war thunder it makes way easier for me to bomb my target (not for revenge but for getting kills after all of my tanks are destroyed and my SPAA)

Thank you very much for the guide! I was struggling to discover how to bomb in 3rd person.

Danke man hat mir echt geholfen

Is there some way to practice bombing other then in battles or test drive, because in test drive after you crash it takes kinda a long time to fly back to where enemies are

Holly shit thx it actually helps allot thx

Stuka bomber in the cockpit actually have a good details of how you should drop it which kinda Unique. I always go 30-45° before dropping. The bombs I learn my mistake of diving head first on lower altitude xd

Thabk you this actually helped me, my rule of thumb is to maintain 800km of altitude and then dive any enemy at 400km/h, I just point my cursor to the enemy and it works wonderfully.

Tysm man

Holy shit, after I learn ur techniques I am a freaking crazy bomber now😊

Danke für die Tipps !😄

I have my personal technic to drop bombs, I don't now how to call it but let it be high speed mid altitude bombing. The technic is to get 2-3 km altitude and then go to shadow dive with maximum speed (500-700km/h) and then drop bombs at around 1000-700m. The benefits of this that you are very fast target and you have little time over target, and bombs dropped from high speed fly strait to pointer (or very near of it) so that makes aiming much easier, and after bombs have been dropped you can do what ever maneuver you want because of speed and energy you have got from high speed drive. This is working the best with Americana fighter bombers like p-47 or p-51.

Nice guide, gonna try this later! If you need inspiration for a further one, please do one for rockets too as I just can't get it to work... Too short or overshooting no matter what... Frustrating... Dankeschön großer!

Also tried some of this with a heavy bomber set it to a two second fuse but heavy bombers are super weak be carefull

I like to details on this one however I was looking for how to bomb in a bomber

Beginner CAS can fly the A6M5. Keep the plane under 500kph and it can pull up from a dive fairly close to ground. Also you can go anti CAS later since CAS is low alt so your Zero can really shine

Broooo tysm

Holy schiße I didn't even think of the bomb timer trick, I usually run a 0.0 sec fuze

Or you can be like me, and do an overhead loop starting as I pass over my target, and instead of pulling up to complete the loop, simply diving straight down, dropping, then pulling out. This technique works better if you are already in a shallow dive from significant height. Of course, in naval I look for battleships with their AI guns targeting other ships, and then fly on the deck from behind them to skip bombs into their sides with a one second delay. I have more kills in naval with my P47 than with my ships.

Ok, melhor guia de bombardeio de precisão do warthunder....

i used a lot of planes w ccip n honestly that helped my muscle memory. now if im flying an older plane or something w out ccip ill just imagine the bombing reticle being there and i can generally imagine it where it would be if it was there.

i know a bit russian and i laughed to death when that tank said idi nakhuy and dolboyob

earned a sub!

Thank you. I finally started getting real kills with planes

Personally I like doing something like 5:35, or even lower and usually more shallow. And no angles or airbrakes, just speed and instinct. Fly so close to the target that it's hard to miss. Kinda like with the walls you've talked about, except the enemy tank is the wall in this case. The bomb hits tank's side and it has no way to escape. You are so fast that you are likely to get away with it, being so low also makes it easier to use terrain as cover from SPAAs.

The bf109 trick works with other planes as well. I tried it with the fab-100 on the yak-1 and hit bullseye in the first try

Bro u 🔥

thx

My suggestion, play some arcade. bomb some ground targets paying close attention to where the bomb reticle indicator is. Learn its movements. Go back to realistic, now imagine the reticle is still there and where it should approximately be. Bomb some stuff, 😎. Gratz now master it.

This is very interesting, even for me as a non gamer! 😄👍

Great video, I’ve recently moved from arcade to realistic

very simple and easy to understand but still manages to properly explain very good guide

how do you get bombs you can change for the planes

i started ground RB without any knowledge. Somehow within the first 5 hours i already figured out how to get precise kills with bombs.

Can you pick which bomb drops first? Or is it always left - right - center?

I play top tier so I use a few flinging tactics when I bomb or I come in stupid low and fast and time the drop so the glide into the base with basically a 100% chance of hitting it took a while to get good at but give it a go it’s a pretty fun way to bomb ups the action for yourself a bit

BRO I TESTED THE ONE WHERE U DROP WHEN UR TARGET DISSAPEARS CUZ UR ENGINGE COVERS IT AND IT WORKS THE 50KG BOMB VS A T-34 50 KG BOMB WINS AM VERY HAPPY I DONT NEED TO KAMEKAZI BOMB NOW (intense happy)

Nice, I really needed this, but I have a very important question. How do I 360 no scope people?

Thanks for this. I suck bad at bombing!

This is very smart man. Thank you from azerbajan

Me: Watching this while 5,000 feet in the air carpet bombing objectives "Interesting. . . Interesting. . ."

very helpful video it would be better if you also showed the bomb cam view after you drop the bombs

What recommended bomb timer should you set? Because when I bomb I also die and my plane either gets damaged or my pilot gets knocked out. Also where do you got to change it?

What BF-109 are you using at 1:11?

bitte, do.more of this i wanna learn more flying in warthunder espacially bombing for ground RB. My Main Line are the germans. So tgere are bot so man's Gott CAS Flyiers

Could you make such a video with Rockets too? I can't figure out how to aim with that stupid ladder crosshair and rarely hit things, only in the Hunter F56 I can use the cockpit mode and use the lowest dash of the collimator. I am so bad with it, I mostly use bombs right now in almost all BRs even if it's only a 100kg bomb. Thanks anyway for the good video

what about bombers that have a mechanical arm that toss the bomb?

What if i get a lot of bombs with a strategic bomber and just start spamning them on a hotspot

Wait is it better to bomb from high or close, i have a tier 1 frontline bomber and when i go low to bomb i constantly get shot down by fighter planes

I genuinely suck ass at bombing, I will apply the things in this video and see if it helps. Thank you

Most of this I wouldn't use in War Thunder. About a 45 degree angle is what I've always used for every plane and I generally drop JUST before I start pulling up. But, that doesn't mean it works for others. Takes practice, mostly. Good video though.

Didnt know pulling up will make it much easier to aim, decided to try a match and got a kill easily

1st & 2nd is dive bombing the 3rd is glide bombing

I like going to 6500 feet and dropping 32 bombs all at once, only dropping down about 5000 while doing so, and i am still high above and safe

Even if its been almost 5 years since i started playing, sometimes i still miss😂

What Is your bomb detonation time?

I have some green target showing where the bomb will land. Will it eventually go away?

ty sir! just new to the game and hitting unreliable.

iv saw it somewhere but how can you follow your bomb after droping it?

On what button do you drop booms on controler

How do I set time for bombs? Mine explodes at ground touch🥲

Which button drops it?

How do I activate air flaps?

спасибо

Why does take a few seconds to blow up in tank modes

I always have a blast when i get bomber in CAS

im still struggling after this vid lmao

I'd love a video or some quick tips on bombing for CAS with the bigger bombers, the german CAS planes kind of fizzle out around 5.0 unless you're good at using cannons against tanks (I am not lol) so I tried to go with the big bombers but as soon as there's a bomb sight it gets really hard I find. Anyone have any advice?
