I grew up watching World At War on PBS, etc. and have a visual of Stukas in an almost vertical dive onto their targets. I tried to recreate this action in Mission Builder but had no luck. It has to do with waypoints, aircraft speed and altitude. Can someone enlighten me on how to do it or can it not be done?

cheers, Recon3

I thought most dive bomber did 60 degree dives. this may be possible ifyou haveone waypoint up high and the next low down, and the second starts the bombing box.

just pure guesswork

I tried also, no luck, you try to adjust 2 waypoints, say one at 8.000" and another at 1.000" very close with a bombing area and the AI just won't dive. Think it circles down smoothly (not sure though, last tried a few month ago).
