Hi can you show me how to bomb with/aim plane A-20?

I can bomb with P-47D-28 but A-20 is confusing me.

You just have to practice - it has different aerodynamics and bomb dynamics to P-47, so take it out on the training range for some flights to see how it works for you.

Havent looked at the A20 for a while but are the bombs loaded internal or external? (I think internal)

Have to hold your line a little longer on release if they are internal

Yes bombs are internal.
This is no divebomber so without bombsight I’m just more or less guessing.
You really cant see sh*t

what’s the difference between internal and external

Might just be habbit from warthunder, but if your angle of approach is too steep, bombs dont release instantly when they are internal.

If you pull up too soon you end up slinging them off target

A-20 isnt a dive bomber, but you still can

Be very careful too in addition with what everyone said up:

The A20 is NOT a dive bomber, but it is fast. If you do dive with it, at too high speed, your wings will rip!

Edit:
A shame new players cannot enjoy the 12 m8 rockets boat we had in Tunisia. A plane I now cherish.

this plane isn’t fast :smile:
Bro everytime when i was diving my wings were ripping, so how to aim and bomb by this plane if i can’t dive on it?

is it event plane?

Well, it is fast… for a bomber of that size :sweat_smile:
It can reach quite good max speed. Just takes a tad longer.

Like @Josephs_Piano said, practice is key. Try to remember your optimal bombing altitude, and the time it takes for bombs to reach the ground. It’s more difficult but at least with more bombs, you have some margin…

No, it was a regular unlock in Tunisia tech tree. It got removed when they merged… those who had unlocked it got to keep it.

oh, i need several videos to understand cuz i was practisin 10000times and still don’t know.

sad…i wish i took it if plane was good

No shame in that! I did the very same. Because just one year ago, my worst nemesis when flying was … trees.
(Sometimes still are when I’m cocky!!! Damn trees…)

It’s pretty fun, but don’t worry, p47 does the same with perhaps better efficiency. We also have the Beaufighter that is very similar.
