leading bomber formation

[XyZspineZyX]

Hi all,
I can't lead a level bomber flight and make them perform a level bombing run while keeping formation.

I posted this subj. in the General Forum, then I realised it matches this forum better.

So:
AI-controlled bomber flight, g-attack wayoint set without specific target assigned ("green cross"), they perform a perfect level run, keeping formation and their load hit the exact g-attack spot, even if it's placed over open sea.

Same mission, I pilot the leading plane:
if I send command to attack (everything, ground targets, etc) they break formation seeking for specific targets, forget the g-attack WP and possibly behaving like dive-bombers;
if I don't send any command, they follow me in formation but don't drop their load.
I tried to send command just before the waypoint, just after the waypoint, just before i release bombs, just after i release bombs. No way.

Any suggestion?

Thank you

S!
Hi

I have found with He111 if you are stable over target in bombsite with formation behind you as your bombs release use the "target all" command and the flight release thier bombs, you have to be quick with the command to be accurate with the following bombers.
With the stuka fly over the target and view through the floor bomb flap if you hold a steady course lined up for a min or so as soon as you pass over the target in the floor use the same command "target all" and the flight release bombs.
Have fun practicing you will find this varies with alt and speed and target type.

Thank you Alpha, I'll try it.
You mean the "squadron -> attack all" or "squadron -> ground target -> attack all" command?
