what is a galaxy?

Lib- dont bomb vpads, you get no kills most of the time. Instead tank bust. Find a tank and hit it with those big 35s. Pull up and let the bomber do a very low alt bombing run on the tank. Most of the time the tank will think your bomberless but will be caught off guard by the bombs.

peace is right, and as far is gal drops go make sure you learn the layout of the different bases. For example you don't want to drop a full gal load on the roof when the CC is in the basement, or alternatively you don't want to drop your guys at the backdoor to take out the gens in a bio lab

Just use lots and lots of ammo and you'll get a kill eventually.

I find a neat trick with bombing in a lib is to aim forward while a bomber. This way the bombs wont drop straight down, they will drop in a forward arc. Most people when under a lib dropping bombs will see on their minimap the big red bombs coming down and try to run away but with the bombs moving it becomes a little bit harder to predict where they are going to land. If the bombs are just dropping straight down then its a lot easier to figure out where they are going to land and just move out of the way.

^^ Using what he said, you can also keep a consentrated spread of bombs on an area without having to stop. Aim forward at the target, and just keep the target in your sites while the bomber moves forward. The bombs will all land in the same place.


Alternatly: You can rapidly move the reticle back and forth and do an erratic spread of bombs that are VERY hard to dodge.




Oh yeah: And no matter how hard you try, you will never have as much fun in a Libby as the Digital Marines had during the Ceryshen Bridge Jump Massacre

tank busting with a tailguner works really well, but be prepared to have to repair from the mossies and reavers.

A really fun thing to do with Air Support is fly Libs in a 3 team fashion. Get 3 Lib teams together with optional support in reavers or Mossies, and form into line abreast or left or right echelon:


L L L or L
L
L

This will allow you to absolutely coat the battlefield with explosions, almost always laying it clear of people, light vehicles and CE. This is especially good for doing against stalemated bridge battles where the middle is no mans land. You can stay high and select your target area without risking the Libs. With a little practice you can decimate an enemy force.


EDIT: Ok so the "diagram" doesnt come across well but think diagonally to the left or right.
