I'm sorry to tell you the HT stated it himself that the bombs don't do damage when they hit water at the 2004 Aces High Convention Q&A Session.

Since we just got the B25, I think it would be appropriate to carry high drag bombs for low level bomb runs, and skip bomb capability for the anti-shipping role.  I'm not sure how feasible this would be to program, but just a thought for "historical accuracy."



Until they adjust the ordnance options, we won't be seeing parafrags, rockets or torpedos for the B-25H.

We can't get anymore ordnance on the H. It's maxed out our current ordnance system. We'll revisit it when we complete an overhaul/expansion of the ordnance system. We plan to do at some point when we can clear some time on the schedule.

wow, 2004, and how many updates has aces high had since then?
i've killed a ton of AAA when my rockets hit the water BY the ship, no hit the ship, and unless rockets can travel under water...doubt that it made contact.

I have read every readme file for every version since then and no changes of that kind were made.

I wasnt there and didnt know what he said. But i know bomb's near miss do damage to ships because i saw it many times (when I dropped bombs, not somebody else). Even SB's shells do damage to ships if you miss slightly. May be they works different for ground targets, i dont know.

Instead of contesting obvious just try to drop few bombs on CV using external view.

not to mention that the tactics ive seen employed in ww2 video of b25h's, had them running into an nme airfield, guns a blazing and dropping skip bombs.....seems to me they would be very useful against clusterd buildings as well as ships,clusters like TOWNS :):aok
