Easy bombing run:

Approach your target with a Stuka at an Altitude of 5 feet with the landing gear down. Release the bombs just before crashing into the target and pull back on the controller to raise your gear. Your target should be destroyed.


Tip 1:

If you're commanding the British war effort, resist the urge to send every available plane into the air at the first sign of trouble. Chances are the first sightings of enemy aircraft are nothing more than diversions, meant to draw your fighters away from other critical areas. Instead, withhold the bulk of your available fighter strength until you can make a reliable determination that the enemy is indeed committing its forces to battle.

Tip 2:

Sometimes the most effective way to penetrate Britain's air defenses is to come in under its radar range by flying below 500 feet. Just remember that low-altitude barrage balloons and light antiaircraft fire can cause serious damage. What's more, it won't take the average RAF squadron more than a few minutes to take off and engage your low-flying formation.

Tip 3:

It's important to routinely examine the proficiency of each of your squadrons. If you're commanding the RAF, you'll want to use your veteran pilots to intercept enemy bombers while
your less experienced fliers grapple with the enemy fighter escorts.
