Do you know of any better way to deliever ordnance onto targets accurately other than level or dive bombing or diving onto ground units at 45 degrees and rocketing at the last moment?

When I try to rocket vehicles from long range the gunsight is sort of not aligned vertically and I need to salvo all the rockets to get a hit. Especially using R4Ms to attack B17s

R4M's are designed to be used in a salvo. They were used to force bombers into evasive maneuvers so the formation would break up and be destroyed more easily.

The German rockets were set to a 3 second fuse rather than a contact fuse when used for air-to-air, SDOE doesn't have this so they're pretty useless against bombers.

CFS does this though.

from CFS, the rockets are way too deadly hehe..

Here's a tutorial on using them too: http://tailslide.firelight.dynip.com/trockets.asp

The rocket-aiming should be quite realistic - according to pilots' accounts I've read. WWII weapons-delivery wasn't as accurate as, say, with the HUD-modes of an F-16.

I wonder if you could edit the rocket to add an obKillDelay 3 and an onDmg10 obExplode... would that force the rocket to explode in 3 seconds?

I am also missing bomb delays. You could drop bombs pretty low and get out of range before they would explode. Mosquitoes were often bombing that way.

The most reliable way of bombing for me is from the external view. I fly level at 4000 feet and estimate when to drop the bombs by looking at my forward speed and altitude.
The accuracy is not bad...
