I'm here to tell you guys who always seem to ask me how I manual dive bomb or
are wanting to learn.

The Pro's Of manual dive bombing:

-hitting border humpers
-Team killing (whoopie!!! :P)
-helps hit turning ships
-can hit ships when not at maximum altitude(to dodge aaw)

Con's
Hard to learn
Auto can be better to hit cvs or non moving ships


Step one:

Load planes like normal. Some people think that there is a trick when you load your
planes - their isn't. This may seem obvious, but is important - only dive bombers can
dive bomb.


Step Two:

Wait for your planes to reach maximum altitude then Right click where you want
them to go around the enemy. Wait for them to cricle.



Step Three:

HOLD Semicolin button. (the button that looks like this ===> ; )

Step Four:

LEFT CLICK Where you want to dive.



Step Five:

Hit the period button before your divebombers get shot down and when you think
you are above the enemy ship.

(Couldn't get a screenie of this as it was too hard to press ; . and print screen
button at the same time. If someone has a screenie of this please pm me it.

Step Six:

Have fun trying this at the beginning as it is very hard but once you get the hang of
it it is very easy and a powerful move to show off with when trying to join a fleet.
I use it on BB's because CV's are generally easier to auto dive bomb.

Recommendations are welcomed, and thanked in advance.

Best Regards,

Stimba

I have tried this manual DBing.
I have pressed ";" and then left clicked on where I wanted to bomb but suddenly
ship changed it's course and my DBs dived and went into the sea.
My question is; is it possible to cancel the diving order? When I press ";" and then
left click and if the ship changes it's course, is it possible to cancel my previous order
for DBs?

advantages.

Yeah you can hold down semicolon and click anywhere on the map that you would
like the bombers to dive. It's easier to click when your planes are closer to their ship
though, as if you click from far away, their may be no ships under the dive spot
when you planes finally arrive.

"And include all the cool things you can do with manual DBing"

Like TKing? o.O jk

Circling your bombers too close to the enemy might be a dead giveaway- is it possible to
do it farther away from the target?
