I use the mixed auto and manual way. (Manual is too slow to descend, and full-auto is too inaccurate and easy to dodge)
If you're not aware of how to do it. 1. Make sure your TBs are grouped fairly tightly. 2. Use the "L" and "," keys to avoid AA and stay around 30-40 alt (50-60 if your TBs hate AAW). 3. When approaching the enemy BB (Remember, find ones that look like they carry little bulge), hit "L" and while holding "L," right click the enemy ship as though you were using auto. This will cause the TB to begin to dive even without being at max altitude. 4. Hit "." to release (Watch out for the delays and lags, as these can ruin an attempt to call off a run that's been ruined by good dodging).
Why I like it: The dive is as quick as manual (Less warning). The targeting is automatic. As long as you drop NEAR the enemy BB and at his center, is just as hard to dodge as manual. (Middle of the ship always moves less than the ends because in NF, the ship turns around the center so imagine a lever).
Also helps to find one that is busy or isn't paying attention.
