Which attack method requires the intended target to be tally/contact/captured by the aircrew?

The method that necessitates the intended target to be tally/contact/captured by the aircrew is Bomb on Target (BOT). This approach is specifically designed for scenarios where aircrews need visual confirmation of the target before engaging. When using the BOT method, the aircrew must identify the target clearly through direct observation or visual aids to ensure accurate engagement. This direct line of sight allows for a higher degree of targeting accuracy and minimizes the risk of collateral damage.

In contrast, other methods like Bomb on Correlation do not require the same level of direct visual contact with the target, as they rely more on pre-determined locations and correlation techniques instead of live visual confirmation. Similarly, Bomb on Time and Bomb on Coordinate methods focus on predetermined time or grid reference points, rather than necessitating active contact with the target. Therefore, Bomb on Target distinctly stands out for its requirement of the aircrew having explicit visual contact with identified targets.
