Level 4 engine bombers never sank a "Moving" capital ship. Tirpitz was at
anchor when it was bombed, and it took a few trips for them to sink it still
i think they originally said no 4 engine bombers never sank a capital ship. i don't think "moving" was mentioned.
as for us doing it ingame? well, it is quite different.
first off, we get many many tries. we can go into hte training arena, and practice all night till he figure out how to hit it. i don't think the real life guys got to do that?
secondly, in real life, they had lookouts on pretty much every ship in every fleet(to the best of my knowledge). so there was
never a group just steaming straight ahead when the ordinance was dropped.
in the game, very often, when a ship is sunk this way, it's due to the fact that no one is watching, and therefore, the buff drivers drop on a slow moving target, traveling in a straight line.
if it's not that, then it's the person in command of it, trying to play "cat and mouse" with the bombers....trying to wait till the last possible moment to turn, in their attempt to make the buffs miss. they all seem to forget that the ship cannot turn instantly, and they often do it too late.
for some reason, it seems that no one thinks that evasive maneuvers at first sight of the bombers is a good idea. then when the cv gets sunk, the cheating accusations generally start.
it's great, the way htc has done their best to model things so accurately in this sim/game/addiction. things like lancstukas are going to happen, because the playerbase is going to experiment in ways that the guys in real life couldn't.
this is irrelevant though.(the lankstuka thing). they do the best they can. we can't start asking them to find a way to prevent certain things.....such as those things that annoy us(and we all know one that a LOT have asked to have turned off), as something like that would snowball. it'd be like nascar. no longer a race, so much as a 200 mph traffic jam.
the most important thing here, is to take what is in here and make the best of it. they try to make things accurate.
stop comparing real life to this sim/game/addiction for anything other than the tribute to the real life guys. when ya log in, adapt. if the turrets on the wirbels are/were too fast, then adapt when attacking. now that they've slowed em down......adapt.
just come in the arenas, and have some fun.
