Ok now that I have figured out how to fire the laser guided missles from the co-pilots seat of the F-15....How the hell do you accurately drop the bombs? Do you just line the target up where the verticle line meets the half moon shaped line at the bottom? Also....I have more than once fired heat seaking missles at an enemy aircraft...(When he is not firing flares) and the damn things miss him. However I seem to get shot down alllll the damn time weather I am firing flares or not. Anyone know where there is a good recourse for this stuff on the web?

my technique for dropping bombs is as simple as slowing down, flying at the target, when you estimate the trajectory based off speed and height, drop the bombs, speed/pull up.
If you are locked on, trick is a). flares b) if flares do not disengage rockets, then it's time for evasive manuevers, that means roll the aircraft 90deg and pull up making a hard turn that the anti air cannot follow.
The reason why you are getting shot down is, people realize you are going to drop flares, so all they do is keep a lock on you, wait till you drop flares, then re-lock on you and fire away.

what i do to avoid missiles is to 1. flares 2. barrel rolls and other evaisive manuvers 3. turn on afturburners of and on for a while.

dropping bombs is very hard unless you're in the bombers, because they drop so many bombs that you're pretty much guranteed a kill or two. where they hit depends on your speed and how parralell you are to the ground. the half circle is there for when you're turning. that makes it even harder. just line them up with the line under the middle and guess.
if you don't want to guess and try your shots, then dive bomb. when you see a target, fly past it for a bit then pull a very hard loop and when you're facing the target again, roll over 180 degrees and drop when you're close, then pull up HARD, or else you'll hit the ground.
here's what i do to avoid having people even get the chance to drop flares when i want to hit them with sidewinders: i leave my bomb scope on. if you chase your enemy around with your bomb scope on, it won't tell them you have a lock. because you don't. yet. they won't even know you're there unless they occassionally switch to the rear camera view, which most pilots don't.
so you take this opportunity to get right up on their ass, they won't be flying erradicall as long as you don't turn on the missles or shoot at them with the cannon. once you're about 50 feet behind them, you switch on the missles and start firing before you have a lock. when you get a lock, if a missle is near the enemy, it will lock on as well. by then it is too late for them to drop flares or fly evasively. half the time they'll be counting on you waiting to fire your missles until after they drop flares, like that guy said.
so then, BOOM, they're dead. and they never had a chance to do anything about it.
if they fly pretty straight and you have your bomb scope on, you don't even need to use the missles, just use the cannon, it'll take them out pretty fast. i haven't shot down many jets with the cannon, but i use the cannon to blow up unmanned jets on the ground all the live-long day.

another way to get rid of missiles following you is to use the afterburners and go faster than the missile.

My surefire way to avoid being shot down by anything is to just panic and crash into a mountain or another aircraft or building. Towers are acceptable as well.

as for the bombing i keep my speed up, thas if i dont accel, and wait until the target is almost at the bottom out of my screen. it's hard to say because you never actually look at that you just know when to drop it... if you play as much as me i guess u do.
o yea, always hit 'c' once to change the camera view once for anything you do in the air, it's alot better. also, when you are practicing or just bombing and missing, dont try to change your angle of approach at the target or slow down, these things might work at times by chance but it us inconsistent. its alot easier to learn when you keep relatively max speed with average height above the target every time that you bomb so it's easier to master.

not if you want precision. dive bombing can't be beat. dive attacking choppers works great too, cuz the flares drop out their bottoms, and the missles will ignore them, and they can't dodge the cannon.
but yeah, all in all bombing while horizontal takes it's own kind of skill. it's all physics. it's a lot easier with the bombers but they're slow and unmaneuverable. too easy to kill them beceause they can't dodge crap. sweet sweet 2 drops.
