so i keep getting absolutely minced by aircraft when im runnng around. so i figured id have a little go. ive done about 30+ bombing runs now and got about 2 kills because ground units literally dont render in from the sky unless you fly 2 inches from the ground. so how are all these pilots getting 10+ kills per run when i cant even see players render in past 2ft. ive got all my graphics maxed out so i dont know what more i can do. i know for a fact its not my eye sight because i literally watch players pop into existence just as im about to pass over head of them
They are getting those kills because the are targeting the spawn, you don’t need to see people to know where the spawn is and the most likely routes to the objectives.

Yes they target the spawn sometimes but we also target the objectives which you can see. We also target markers which you can see as well.
If you have friends on the ground playing with you they can mark for you and that is probably the most accurate way to score kills. And finally just knowing by experience what routes the enemy will be taking can be lucrative kill zones.
Spawn, cap points changing colour, likely routes from spawn to cap points, common places for creating respawn points, very occasionally marks by team members - that’s about it.
Tanks you can see, especially if they’re firing.
Infantry you just have to guesstimate where they are.
Bombs have a massive blast radius, especially 250s and up, so you just have to ballpark it with those.
Just yolothrow on common roads or hide spots.

or play with a mate that marks for you…or maybe you are lucky and end up in a half decent team that marks for you.
Its the same with spawnpoints, no one builds them.
Good guesswork, mostly. Map knowledge gives you clues of where heavily-used corridors are and you just drop bombs on those lanes.
Honestly I full send my bombs and hope for the best. Cant see shit but somehow walk away with 10+ kills.
When you’re in an A 20 with 2 thousand pounds worth of bombs you don’t need to see them, they just die
