JU188, A20 Bombsight?

Not sure exactly how this would work, but instead of dive bombing we could see ground below and drop bombs from high up?

With a clever bit of coding to tell you where to drop bombs of course! Like the target location for planes maybe?

be a dream, along with fixing all bugs to improve game play instead of adding new features.

bombsights are already made in such a way that they show the location the bombs would land in, so a ‘lead indicator’ like you have when shooting planes isn’t necessary.

While it would be nice to have a bombsight, it would have a few issues:

  • It would buff planes’ accuracy when bombing
  • It would allow planes to fly out of reach of anti-air fire from ground
  • at low altitude you wouldn’t see much through the bombsight and
  • at “high” altitude enemies on ground would still not render.

I agree, good pilots who know how to bomb are already deadly

Does the A-20g even have a bombsight

You would not need to see enemy, do you think you can in real life? You would just need a building outline, markers from your side.

As for AA ok I know its a bit rubbish, but if a plane if high (600 plus 1000 ceiling) surely it would be easy enough to see.

it could be done with light bombers since there is a special cockpit but the smaller ones remain as they are

It’s a difficult topic.
On the one side, planes that had bomb sights should have them in game.
On the other side, it will effectivelly buff tactical bombers that even after nerf can do a lot of harm.

Saying that, if somebody is using bomb sights, he doesn’t pay attention to what’s around him, thus he is vunerable to interceptors. Also if you want to use sights, you will probably fly in more or less straight line what makes you a jucy target for AAA (that should have been buffed by now devs).

So I would say yes, but after AAA buff and after drastically increasing xp for destroying a plane.
