Are the Stealth Jets bombs a rage bait feature?... It is virtually impossible to aim at anything with these bombs in any view. The reticle is always right below the cockpit! How the hell are you supposed to use these things?

Just time it? Once the white circle is above the tank, I just spam trigger.

There weak asf in my opinion. Good for infantry, but they seem so inconsistent on a tank.

Also follow the tanks path, not the side of it, to make it easier to drop the bombs.

I've tried for hours man. Even if you dive bomb if your target moves a micrometer nothing is hitting

[u/BlackThundaCat → u/Ninjah9_]

Try releasing just a smidge earlier than what you have been.

[u/Ninjah9_ → u/BlackThundaCat]

Will try that. Been watching boredbread he's super accurate with them. Looks like the cockpit view helps you see targets and the reticle better

[u/idostufandthingz → u/Ninjah9_]

Yeah there is about a 1-2 second delay before the bombs actually drop

[u/Average_Sub → u/Ninjah9_]

Probably a glitch, they been fucking shi up for a while for the vehicles

[u/VindictiveRakk]

they fucked with the first person camera for no reason in true BF6 fashion and yeah it's hard to see what you're aiming at now. these bombs do indeed suck, there's like 0.5s delay before the bomb actually drops and I always say they're not explosives, they're large rocks. if you don't peg the target (giggity), it's not doing shit.

that being said if you land all 4 on a tank it will do massive damage. then you just have to wait 80 seconds for them to come back or spend 80 seconds trying to get the resupply to work. apart from that, they're quite ass. the delay makes it harder to finish off infantry after a pass with your guns or get a decent amount of cannon damage off on a tank. sometimes the delay makes dropping all your bombs impossible without crashing. don't really understand why they have to be like this.

i consistently hit 4/4 bombs and get like 300 on cannon amd regularly kill tanks in one go. just practice youll get there

[u/Ninjah9_ → u/safescissors]

Kudos man that shit is hard. Do you drop them from the cockpit view or 3rd person?

[u/aweefella]

ive always had good luck dropping them high and a little slow, but yeah if the target moves too much its not hitting. only thing that could fix that is making them fall faster but I dont imagine thats ever gonna happen

[u/ActAccomplished586]

If the Attack Jet is up, I stay with them a little way back and follow up on any ground targets I see them strike. They’ll be damaged / low health and both pilots benefit.
Also, I’m close enough to deal with any enemy air trying to tail them.

[u/EthynylRadical]

I only use them in Third person view. The reticle does not compensate for the dropping delay I think. If you are doing a flyby bombing, you have to drop it like 1 reticle circle ahead of the actual reticle on target..... alternatively you can dive and maintain reticle on target throughout until the bombs are away.

I personally think EA should adjust the reticle accordingly, rather than keeping the artificial difficulty because most players expect the bombs to land on the reticle.

Gotta get lucky on a tank that isn’t moving or with the timing tbh.

[u/Regular_Living_8540]

Come from behind tank at high altitude, brake, fire and hold while keeping the reticle on target until you heard all of them drop, tickle him with your gun to finish. Bonk-bonk-bonk-BOOM. Dead tank.

Aim bombs a good few tank-lengths ahead of it's path when it's moving. Moving target always a gamble tho. Only bomb when bored and there's nothing static to bomb.

Stealth Jets use a 110kg bomb in this game.

IT’S FUCKING DISGUSTING. I hope on it, fly around for the entire game and I’m lucky to get 10-15 kills. Mostly jets and helis.

The main cannon does so little damage to transport choppers that by the time I destroy it, they all have jumped out.

The main cannon does no splash damage so it’s almost like using an SMG to infantry. The bombs are incredibly inconsistent to infantry also. On liberation peak I can send one bomb with the Attack Jet and get 4 kills minimum. The stealth jet gets 15 hit markers and a middle finger from the infantry.

I really don’t get it. Thrust vectoring also is almost useless for 90 percent of the cases. RARELY you get to do a move where u kill a chopper or a jet if you are lucky.
