We massed about 25 Ju88s or so in formations (so 3 planes per pilot) totalling about 75 planes. We had external ord only, 4x500kgs. We were all in very very close formation and we all dropped at the same time. We all dropped all bombs at once, with minimum delay. We were hitting the HQ building in the SEA.
Watching the hits in the bombsite after the drop, there were only a couple of scattered single bomb "puffs". It wasn't until the 5th one or so that we started seeing multiple bomb clusters hit. It looked like 90% of all the bombs didn't even hit the ground.
About an hour later we were on our second mission, and somewhat frazzled that most of our bombs apparently missed. Only, it turns out they hit, because the HQ was weak and was finished off within the first couple of salvos dropped.
The bug is that the code doesn't track (or it loses) all the bombs at once. It doesn't display them, and it doesn't display their bomb hit animations, but it still tracks their damage (because the HQ did in fact go down!).
This was just 25 players or so. Each with 1 formation. Imagine CT where we've been told we'll get 100-plane formations. I think it'll just be worse in the CT, when it comes around.
Also, as a side note, the external bombs on the Ju88 scatter WIDELY when dropped. This is visible in the bombsite when watching them, they literally scatter so wide that on an offline test only about 1/4 of them hit the HQ when dropped dead-on at 17k (no wind, this was offline). No other bomber scatters its bombs this badly.
