Hello CV drivers, are you tired of having all your DBs shot down by AAW. Do your
TBs get too close to the target and get AAWed to death as well? Well this guide is
for you. :)

First for Manual DBing. your planes need to be fairly close to the target area. Press
the "Semi-colon/Colon"button and left click on the spot you want the bombs
dropped. A small green circle with the flight number of your bombers will appear.
Start spamming the "Period" button to have you planes just drop the bombs without
even diving into the AAW.

Now for TBs. **Disclaimer** This should only be done when targetting front-line
ships. Press and hold or spam the "Comma" button to lower your planes. Right click
in the direction you want to aim them and simply release the torps with the "Period"
button.

The main advantage of this technique is that you target will often have no clue that
he is being bombed and therefore take no evasive action. This is also the only way
to bomb if you have lowered your Bombers to avoid AA walls without raising them
back to the original height. Hope this helps a little bit
guys. Any other input is gladly accepted.

Yes, the spot you pick is exactly where the bombs will be dropped. You also need to
hope the ship does not turn too sharply. Which is why I said you need to be very
close to the target area.

Wouldn't you have to lead on your target to manually DB? (Since you're targeting the
water, not the ships ontop of it.)

If you can catch the torp bombers right when they come off the ship it doesn't take so
long to get them to lower to the deck. Kinda obvious....

Also, for planes returning to the ship, if you direct them to the ship, lower them to the
deck, and then click the "back home" button they will make an instantaneous landing
instead of the swirling landing that they normally take -- especially helpful if there are
enemies nearby and you don't want them shot up by AAW as they land. Two notes: 1) They
must be as low an altitude as they can go and 2) you cannot change their altitude if they
are already returning to the ship -- you must right click to direct them once to break
them out of that mode.
