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.

it with the rest of us!

Just a warning:
- with a heavy lag (like many of us "enjoy" these days) forget about manual TB/DB
- with "just some" lag manual TB still works OK, while manual DBing makes me miss
my target easily
- with no lag there is significant improvement in hitting of able commanders and/or
agile ships with both manual TBing and DBing.

Indeed, the first 2 games I tried this in I lost all my planes to AAW bc I wasnt lined up
correctly and missed badly but once I hit the first few bombs it was quite satisfying.

Gonna take me some time to get this down but I wanna master it by the time I reach the
Graf/Graff II

nice post but it is hard to do if you are busy directing your ship or fighters at the
same time.

i know there is a third way to tb.. ive seen nico, shin, and thveteran. do.. but for
some reason its some kidn of top secret crap and that wont tell.... it invovles the
planes not being at max altitude but auto diving and releasing torps and climbing up
to max altitude.. anyone know how this works?

/bump again.

I can't stand to watch the newer CV driver just head their planes into Flak clouds at the
Golden Angle. You make us all look bad.

i will take this guide a step further :p when i was learning to use a plane in brook i
found that if you go to full height (L) then you come behind the target (this is for
scouts and fighters btw) then as soon as ur about a colo's length from the backside
of the ship then lower the plane afap (as fast as possible :p) and wait for the enemy
aaw to kill ur plane sp that it crashes on deck. also u can kill ur plane by running it
out of fuel and coming in from behind the target at full height and making it so that
the fuel cuts out when ur plane is about 2ff's length away from the bows (on the
sea side not the deck side) then the plane will dive and unless it's a nelson then it
wil hit the towers

this is useful btw if you are a) hopelessly out of range and you are desperate and b)
if u are our of shells and he's on low health and would burn to death

u may think i'm mad but being hpelessly outranged is something the us are good at
so i's quite fun to "db" scouters and then i suppose people think theres a n00b cv in
the game :p it works quite well for me though
