Last I used the F-105 in SIM EC, I would try finding smaller lobbies (like 3-5 players on each side), and I tried avoiding others. Obviously, if someone wants to engage you, your best defense is speed. (Edit: Generally, I would run without my radar running so enemies would not get pings from me, and just keep an eye on where friendlies were. Sometimes you can collect enemy players with the 9E's who aren't paying attention once your napalm has been dropped.)
I don't think I ever tried using the bomb release permissions or mission targeting points, I just set the ballistic sight to bombs and used it to bomb with napalm. minibases, start at maybe 3-4km and throttle down a bit to have time to make any adjusting maneuvers, and for airfields, make sure that you stay above ~5km, the SAM's don't engage targets that high. The F-105 can avoid the SAM's with maneuvers, but all the same, I just as soon prefer to not have them shoot at me.
Personally, I enjoyed the A7's more, the HUD for bombing is more friendly from what I remember. (Nice big vertical line to help you stay on target to the base, as well as the sliding drop point).
