I used the 500's last night to destroy some bunkers that could not be pentrated by vikhr. Destroying the structures was one of the mission goals. So I guess bombs can be deployed now and then. Like the antiship misile, bombs are required for certain tasks I guess.

Does anyone have some decent tracks or videos showing bomb employment in Black Shark? I'm having trouble hitting anything with them right now and could use some pointers.

If I understand the manual correctly there is no assistance with bomb dropping so it's only a matter of arming and using your eye to get them on/near the target. Which is why using the camera view to follow your wingmen on a bomb run is your best bet.
