It's not so simple, it also depends on what type of bomb you have loaded (as written in the documentation given by Oleg).Originally posted by AWL_Spinner:
Nah, I don't mean just an IAS/TAS chart, I have that, I'm after an elevation chart for the Pe-2 bombsight for accurate drops from altitude.
For instance:
3000m @ 370kmh IAS = 445kmh TAS and a sight elevation of 44 degrees.

But why bother when the bombsight is doing all calculations for you?

Yeah, I favour the 4x250kg loadout.
And I'm an old fashioned kinda guy who enjoys manually pickling weapons (plus its handy in a fix to have a selection of commonly used manual release angles if you spot a target of opportunity and haven't time to set up the sight computer).
Out of interest, and I've not played with it much yet, is there sight automation on the Pe-2? If there is, is it mapped differently to that on the B25/He-111 (the key I have mapped doesn't have any effect in the Pe-2).
