Bombing bug?
« on: June 03, 2004, 05:16:22 PM »
Did a few ju88 formation runs @ 10 ~ 15k.

after dropping I used the bombsight to see my hit locations.  Nothing was displayed, no bomb craters or damaged hangers.  Only way I knew if I hit was the server text message.  If I did take out a hanger, the hanger would disappear, but the damaged graphic/smoke didn't display.

My apologies if this is an old bug.. but new to me.

i was wrong.. if I hit, smoke does appear but nothing else.

I have default settings, except for range which I have set to max (3 mi).

noticed today that to c crater i have to fly very close to it.

Would like to c where bombs land from alt.

i have noticed that here in Aces High 2 the Ju 87s 1800KG gravity bomb is no where near as powerful as it is/was in Aces High 1. In AH1 i could drop that bomb in the middle of 3 gvs and take them out or serious cripple them, here in AH2 i hit a panzer dead on, which had 2 m16mgmcs and i think a flak parked next to it, also next to a building, no kills, nor building destroyed. why is the ju87 bomb so weak here, seems like it wants to act like 250 lbrs. i think that hitech needs to turn up the damage power of the 1800kg.

Had finished a combat fight and was landing at a radar facility (was about 500 ft) when a 17 bombed it, saw the craters appear and then disappear heard the explosions, saw buildings hit but didn't go down. I think he used 6 or 8 bombs which would be 1000lbs? anyways he had NO visable damage to facility but hit it. so its just not the ju, its all of the bombers and the bombs. Don't know about hits on fields tho. !

Same here when on mission in 17's, make drop, see them fall away from plane, go to site and didn't see anything hit, not even a flash. Must have been        shhhhh silent bombs lol.

Also in a P38 diving in to drop bombs on target it starts to pull up at a speed of 425, by itself no matter if the stick is in any position. Had a squadie  (APDrone)  comment about it also, was on current map NDISLES

punt to c bomb drop from alt.

edit:  just noticed bomb explosions can be seen if you are in the f3 external view, but still no craters.  

the explosions just can't be seen while using the bombsite to check ur drop.  

I also notice parallel tear lines on the base ground when I am looking thru the bombsite.
