I posted the following in the Bomb Blast Radius thread but I think it is better suited for this thread

i was in a formation of B 24's about 15k the other day and bombed a Vehicle base, I had the 4x2000lb bomb package, I was calibrated perfect and dropped all 4 of my 2000lbers X 3 ( formation ) right in the middle of all 3 VH's, I didn't even get 1, the bombs all hit right in the center... Usually I just drop 2 X 2000lbers and it takes all three out, I didn't get any this trip and when I landed I didn't get any perks so it registered as a miss I guess. Weird though, they all landed right in the mid of the 3 VH's, I was looking through my ball turret the whole time and they all hit in the sweet spot, but did no damage

That is a common problem these days. Ever since the last major upgrade the bombs have been wimpified. It's pretty frustrating to fly for 20 or 30 minutes, make a perfect bomb drop and not kill your target.

i havent experienced the problem that you all are talking about... im gonna have to check it out tonight. Ive been bombing for some time now since im no good at dogfighting... ive been able to destroy hangers with a single salvo of 1000lbs... i do like the idea of taking 500lbs and setting the salvo to 4.. gonna try that too..

the other night I lined up on a medium field with my 24's and dropped 12000 pounds of bombs on each set of hangers and not a thing went down. There were several craters in contact with the hangers and not 1 burning hanger. At the very least they would have a lot of hole filling to do
