Bombing Issues in Frame 2?

Doobs I can't stop laughing, you are a nut

The 325th also experanced that as well in Frame 1 when we dropped 5 bombs into a VH at the north Port (I think 30).

I was watching for BDA and calling in guys to drop.  Each bomb went into the hanger but no explosion.  All were dropped from about 1000 ft.

After the 5th bomb didnt go off I called off the drops and we moved on to other targets.  One of the guys stayed with it and gunned the VH down in the end.

So I'm not sure if the bombs hit and the guns finished it or not.  Or the guns just finished it and all of the bombs were duds.  I wasnt the only one that saw it either.  I figured it was a graphics bug and didnt report it.

And before anyone starts I know that bugs bunny guy wasn't in my plane either.  I know because there isnt that much room left in a freaking 109 with my large buttock!

I do a lot of bombing.  This happens all the time.  You hear a bang but there is no damage visible or otherwise.  Not even a mark on the ground.

It's a bug.  I have never posted on it (or any of the other whole bag full of bugs I am aware of), as I have zero respect for the bug reporting mechanism.  You might want to report it, expect derision, abuse etc.. but it might get fixed.  Who knows?  I genuinely wish you luck.

Seriously Casper,

While you guys were overhead the target, I was on the ground trying to run to the friendly field.  I heard you on range trying to figure out where your ordnance went.  Two bombs dropped so short, I thought I was gonna get killed.  Could have been some of yours?

on both passes my salvos were more than 2.  so i doubt it.  but, maybe those two were the only ones that didnt get discoed

You guys have pretty much covered it. The bug has been around for at least since Operation Downfall but I've never been able to duplicated it consistently, except in LAN h2h on your first few runs.

I don't know if your calibration was right or not, on the first pass you registered one hit on F17FTH003. On the second pass you registered 25 hits on F17FTH002 and 4 hits on F17FTH003. Numbers like that would lead most people to think you just didn't put enough ordnance on any one target, I can't say.

25 hits?  i dropped twice with salvo 10 of 100kg eggs on...one drop on one FH, another drop on its neighbor...

but i saw nothing...and apparently didnt kill it.  should 2500kg be enough for a single FH?
