Keep in mind that this calculator works only for this current version of Cliffs of Dover, this may change with future patches. I haven't tested it but I imagine that it might work for the Ju-88 as well.

HE-111 Bombsight Calculator


The file will work with Excel 2003 - 2007.

When entering values remember to hit [Enter] to get the proper calculation.

Hi ATAG_Keller,

Thanks for sharing your calculator - very nice piece of work.

Just to clarify what I see on your calc:
enter IAS and altitude (metric)

Calc gives TAS in metric and imperial.

Enter Imperial TAS into bombsight.

With lofte on auto, crosshair will then track the target and bombs fall on target?
or do you have to adjust the crosshair onto the target continuously?

thx

PS Looking forward to the next patch. Hope it solves the bombsight issue for us.

You got it. You will have to track manually with automation on as the crosshairs will not stay on target with those settings.

The red number bottom-right is set to round to the nearest 10 so that it matches up with the game settings.

Oh, and by the way aus3620; it was your level bombing tables the gave me the idea to make the calculator.

Thanks for sharing this with us Keller.

I'm not going to try and learn level-bombing in the Axis aircraft until the next patch as it seems Blackdog may have had success with his work.

Cheers Keller, I'm mathematically challenged and looking forward to using this.

I'm already working on a new "Level Bombing Companion". It's been specifically designed to work only for Blue pilots. :thumbsup:
