How to control the plane during the bombing run from the bomber seat?
I am a newbie...But with the stick is very hard!

Thanks to all

It's a bitch! I wait until the last moment before going to the bombadier position...maybe two miles from target. Make sure you are headed right to the target..lined up on your "radar". Maintaining altitude is the trickiest for me. If you are climbing or descending, your cross hairs will not cross the target at the right moment. Use a very light touch for lateral adjustments. The bomber is slow to respond and it's easy to over-adjust. You may want to use the full HUD.

Auto-pilot will maintain your heading (usually) but won't allow fine tuning needed at the last minute. Turn it off when you start to drift.

Use unlimited ammo and you can practice all night without having to reload the mission.

You have to develope the technique that works for you. Just remember...the less stick required the better. And don't get too entralled with following the bombs down. It's a good way to lose control of your bomber if you aren't paying attention to the stick.
