Didn't Ships require a certain type of bomb, different from what was used on other targets?
This could make the solution of perking bombs a bit more adaptative.

OK, so I think we've established that a few bombs COULD indeed sink a CV in real life.  So, since real life is what matters, I think we can all agree that 1 pilot flying 3 planes and the laser-accurate bombs must go.

No?

Well then, harden the CVs.  Or else, kill the bomb accuracy.

Around we go...

Let's either be consistently focused on realism, or consistently focused on balance.  The bufftards shouldn't have their cake and eat it, too.

Sort of off topic but I think TBMs and B5Ns and other single engine torpedo bombers should be formation capable.

Yes. All divebombers like the SBD, Ju87 and Val had special armor piercing bombs specifically for use against ships. Regular bombs would do a lot of damage topside especially on small ships like destroyers but to pierce the armor of a cruiser or BB you needed an AP bomb just like AP ammo for ships guns. Giving the dive bombers, and ONLY the dive bombers, the AP anti-ship bombs would stop suicide level buff formations and give the true dive bombers a purpose.

Thanks Grits. With any luck someone at HTC reads this and gets a great idea..
