looked like you were doing some wind correction but not sure I was more surprised you did not seem to have compressors on and oil and water rads were full open at almost 4K

nice vid great group attack

1) RAD full open beacause in CloD I can do this and nothing will happens with my engines. Only overheating is working

2) Compressor is swithched ON (automatically since 4.5). My ATA was set not too much because I had three bombers behind me and they need some additional power to stay in formation.
3) I do not done any wind correction. This trick with turning airplane (change course) while dropping bombs work when you fly bad course for attacking long target (angle beetween your airplane and target less then 20dgr but more than 5dgr) and your bomb serie will be very long. Just after bombs begin falling you start quickly turning to that direction, where the tail of long target.

Not 8K but you can see some contrails

I learn something new every day thanks I flew in BOS for a while and there rads at 100 % would damage engine so I think about it in clod more
Is the compressor on even if it says its not ?? good tip on shortening bomb spread I will have to give it a try Thanks

That was a very nice video and a nice mission it must take a long time to get 4 or 6 bombers in formation that high very nice its harder than it looks !!!

I measured... 35-40 min to climb up to 7.5km on He111P2.
The only trick is to set full throttle and set maximum engine RPM until temperature of water on engine 1 rise up to 94dgr. Then set RPM to 2300-2350 and watch temperature of water of 1st engine. It must be not more than 94.
Of course all radiators 100% open

The loadout is 8x250kg and 20-40% of fuel (20-25% for wingmans and 35-40% for the leader).

That is a bug on motor-monitor showing 0%. Because parameter that I had not changing is not updating in the window. Since 4.5 we have compressor switched on to stage 2 automatically, so I never press that button

well I have heard that the 111 boys are pretty sharp on there high altitude bombing. I am in the USA so I don't see them on. I think most are far away in Russia so the time zones don't work for me . I fly the 88 always but the 111 is quite a nice plane the visibility is nice and it flies so nice. your formations were very nice I am bad at that probably because we don't get much practice. your right bombers are cool, really who else can roll a map eh if we don't pat ourselves on the back who will .
