CV not at 8k lbs damage
« on: July 18, 2006, 12:23:32 PM »
I killed a brand new cv that just spawned from the port.
I was flying a Ki67 with 8 100lbs at 20k

I believe it was port 172 on the new map.

actually, I did it twice to port 81 as well.  except that 2 formations of ki67s at 20k, with 1 formation missing a drone, was able to kill a cv.  That cv wasn't smoking and was most likely not hit until we got there, but I may be wrong on that one.





NEVERMIND.  I think they are 100 kilogram bombs.  800 kilogram bombs times 3 equals 2400kilograms.  That's about 5,000 lbs.  Makes sense now.

see, they teach that long division type math out on the west coast so it takes a bit of time to get all the numbers strait.

actually 8 100KG bombs in 3 planes = 5280LBS total ord... still well below the 8,000LBS supposedly required.
