please anybody help me

In most cases you need a lase. You can also drop a bomb pretty much straight down if you are doing a nose down dive directly towards the ground.

[wookimonsta]

squad leaders / snipers laze a target, that laze sticks for 30 seconds or so, you fly over, get a lock on the laze, and drop bomb

manual bombing is inaccurate and usually dangerous since you have to fly low to get a good hit

fly at "58" altitude, when you have him on string number two, you drop the jdam and pull up with all your strength thats the cool way of bombing

[Thermis]

You'll almost always need a Lase from a guy on the ground to kill targets with precision.

I've never actually flown in the game, but I've seen a lot of bombs fly off course when they aren't lased...especially on my position. I've got really bad luck.

Bear in mind that bomb behavior in PR (when launched without laser guidance) is NOT your standard dumb bomb glide path you're used to with the fighter bombs in BF2; think of them more as missiles whose straight-forward maintenance thrust cuts out about 2 seconds into the bombs flight. To learn how to bomb with some accuracy, go to a training (or empty co-op, as of patch .9), put a target marker on a building, and practice bombing that location on a ~45 degree dive angle (aiming your nose DIRECTLY AT THE TARGET MARKER), releasing at different distances away from the marker (start with 500 meters and work in 100 meter variants). Use your 6 o' clock view or a friend on the ground to gauge where the bomb lands.

Nothing will teach you how to bomb accurately like a healthy amount of organized practice; here's the rule of thumb I use when bombing targets:

At dive angles greater than 70 degrees (where 90 degrees is a 100% gravity dive) AND/OR distances from target closer than 300 meters, I point my nose directly at the target (or slightly above if I'm at a high altitude) and release.

For each angle increment of 5 degrees lower with a given distance, I'll raise my nose one "tick" relative to the target for release.

For each distance increase of 30 meters from my target for release (necessary for ACC bombings (Above Cloud Cover)), I'll raise my nose one more "tick".

Laze/squad leader markers, the latter takes a bit of practice to perfect but it works.

[PeterLorre]

I don't know how it is now, but back in the days I went squad leader so I could put a pointer(dagger) on the target.

I do a dive and put my nose on the target then release the bomb at least 300 meters above the target.

get an attk marker on target, fly over paralell, when marker meets yourbomb marker, drop!

[DevilDog812]

i can usually just eye it out and hit the target pretty easy, but i use a joystick

Depends how fast you're going

I usually wait until the distance away from the target is roughly the same as my alt. speed about 1500 and drop, can hit, lazes are better though.
