I need some bombing tactics of the F2A Brewster Buffalo WW2 fighter/bomber plane.
Thank you guys, now I'm done with my project~
 
it was mostly strafing troops and supply lines. they would swoop in low and a shoot up a row of supplies or provide close air support.
They were considered old and obsolete and never saw too much action. in the pacific f-4 wildcats were preferred and then corsairs. in europe p40s and p51s were preferred
 
Paste "The poor performance of the Buffalo in the aerial battle sparked Finnish Ace Hans Wind to write his combat manual on Brewster; he analyzed the air combat and the tactical errors the Americans made, and proposed tactics which Finnish Brewster pilots used, with remarkable success, in 1942–43"

it seems it was more a fighter, the us navy put 2 100 lb bombs on 108 of them with more fuel and longer range for naval battles. i assume the dive bombed the 100lb dumb bombs. come high and drop straight down on them release the bombs and pull up. or you fly horizontally and release so the bombs arc down to the ship.
