Realy , the only thing that bothers me...

Drop 2 X 1K Eggs on a VH. it's not going down. When you do a second pass (above it, flipped and slow , just to look...) and you see 2 Craters SMACK in the middle of that Vehicle Hangar... and it's still up !!!

Please tell me this is on your list  

thank you, that is all!

From 1.05 news:
                    "Increased bomb, rocket, and heavy cannon lethality. Building hardnesses were also
                    increased proportionally. This was done because the damage of small weapons was
                    out of proportion to that of large ones."

No ripsnort, that aint the problem. If you drop 2k of eggs on the VH it WILL go down. The problem is that you have to hit with the bombs smack on the middle or you the damage wont be applied.

Get a bomber and drop bombs on VH on one of its sides (aka, not in the middle), and you will see the craters. They did "hit" the VH, but their damage aint applied. Hit the VH in the middle and it goes down.

This makes it excruiciatingly hard for dive bombing planes to take out that vh.

remember Vbase VHs is 2k to kill, P or Abase VHs are 3k to kill.

Thank you Tac, this was exactly what I meant  

Rip, sometimes it goes out with a 500lbers (Being the 1st one to hit it, you know, on my "Secret Blitz Missions"...), Sometimes it takes 2K + 10 Rockets + some more ammo to go down...

[Ripsnort]

There is some collateral damage done, I've had near misses where only strafing was required to bring it down all the way...

It may be a bug related to the latest post I put in the bug forum, some AA's are 'harder' than others.

So, you sayin' it ain't broke ?

I've never had a problem killing a VH by dive bombing, except maybe the new super ack ripping a wing off or out right killing me instantly (but that's another rant).  A and P bases are 2500lbs or 3000lbs to kill the hanger, and V bases are 1000lbs.

With practice you can take a Vbase down in one pass, strafe the acks with your primary bank and drop a 1k egg in between.

For A and Pbases I dive in (-1C) drop the 2 1k eggs, pull up and 'dance through the raindrop' to reverse, kick off the rockets, switch the secondary weapon back to the secondary cannon bank and lay down on the trigger.  Dead hanger.
