Just recently I took an A20 out and went GV bombing. I had 8 500 pound bombs. Unless I actually bounced the bomb off the tank, the tank wouldn't go down (Panzers, T34's and Ostis).

2/8 of the bombs I actually hit the tank dead on top (I watched the bomb drop).

5/8 of the bombs landed and exploded so close to the tank that the tank was just on or inside the edge of the crater.

1/8 of the bombs I just whiffed bad. My own fault.

This isn't right.

Think thats bad -
In a moving panzy, P47 comes in low from the side at 90 degrees and uses 50cals to take out tracks on BOTH sides in one pass.
Explain that one.

Err, those 2/8 that I did hit the GV went down.

I think bomb damage done to armored vehicles feels ok. What's missing though is flipping them over

ccvi, I believe HTC said nexted release would have turrets that come off, and Ive flipped a tiger on a enemy port once, stayed there upside down for atleast 2 hours while about 10 panzers shot at me point blank. Then with the neverending printle and hull gun hits on my tiger. BAH! That noise gets annoying quick.

direct hit a panser with a 250 kg (500+ lb) bomb and it did no apparent damage. Have a film and was verified visually by others nearby. Tank was stationary an was left directly in middle of crater.

Zanth, got a sneaky feeling that will go into the your FE/his FE excuse that is commonly trotted out.

I agree.. Something is fishy here with the A20 and gv bombing.. I bombed a stationary panzer with 6 500lb bombs all but one was RIGHT on top of him and he didnt die.. This was not the case before because i could go out and get 5-6 gv kills with a full load out in an A20..

i was in a lanc going to take down a tiger, set salvo to 14 and dropped all the bombs in 1 pass all hit directly or very close to the tiger and it was untouched after that.

another time

im in a high pony dive on a ostwind, drop bombs and i hit directly. i come around on 2 more passes unload with rockets and NOTHING!
