Beef and a few of us were in B17's last night, 8k over field. Pickled 3 salvo with .05 delay, cross hairs bingo center of hangars, one bomb always misses, FALLING SHORT! not LONG. Bug in bombsite? I have several folks that complained of same thing.
oops, wrong forum, sorry.

Yes this has happened to me alot. I now drop my bombs when the crosshairs are almost past the hanger, but my bombs end up falling long of their target rather than short.

I noticed this too, Rip. Last night I flew my first run in a B-17 since the beta days. I dropped 6 bombs on six targets, and only 1 hit home. I was only at 18k as well.
