Accurate low level bombing

[EG14_Marcast]

Anybody knows the formula to calculate the bombs’ point of impact dropping in level flight, given the altitude and IAS?

Is some kind of triangulation, involving altitude, TAS, wind, temperature, bombs drag... :D

But know the real formula dont help so much, you need know the "CloD formula".

The Bombsite Table for il-2 are done by "reverse engineering" of tables in (il-2) FB manual.

Shturman (http://www.sukhoi.ru/forum/showthread.php?t=45040) give you more precision (in il-2), unfortunately CloD not aroused interest to its creator.

And we don't even know all the required data. Well, just curiosity, thanks
