lol, just the 4000lb cookie is all we're asking for. Was even worse than the other bombs, and they were none too accurate to start with.

Then you're going to start whining to make it even more inaccurate when you start getting killed by near hits.  Kind of like your cries about the bombers being too tough to shoot down, you want to make this game easier for you.

OK, I admit you have a legitimate point on the guns thing, but this really was an issue in WWII. Near misses are fine. I lost a tiger to a mossie 16, and then a 262 when I compressed diving in on the mossies, but you don't hear me whining about it.If I get killed by a bomb 200yds away then, yeah, I'm going to complain.

Either contribute to the thread or leave, you're very annoying when you don't do anything but flame without cause.

You're asking the 4,000lb be nerfed because in your opinion (with no data to back it up) that it is too accurate.  To you what is too accurate?  Is being killed by a 4,000lb bomb that landed 200yrds away mean it is too accurate?  Yep, just like your bomber's thread.

To me, too accurate is every bomb you drop hitting the hanger from 15000ft in the air (we have it happening, and I've done it before too).

ALL you do is flame. I don't like you either, but I keep it polite untill you start some crap, and its not too much to ask for you to do the same.

Strat buildings take 250lbs of damage to destroy, correct? Or is it 500lbs?

It takes 312 points (lbs) of damage to destroy a building, ammo bunker, fuel tank, radar, barrack.  Without having the actual "coad" to cite specifics, it appears HTC gives credit for impact/inertia for ordnance because a single 250lb bomb WILL bring down a building when the impact is a direct hit, or very very close.

Smaller bombs simply have more "bang for buck", their explosive power is rated higher relative to their total mass. bombs over 1000lbs have a relative lower rating, a 2000lbs bomb is worth less than 2000lbs in damage.

100 Lb GP Bomb = 156 Damage Points
250 Lb GP Bomb = 315 Damage Points
500 LB GP Bomb = 568 Damage Points
1000 LB GP Bomb = 1000 Damage Points
2000 LB GP Bomb = 1819 Damage Points

I don't have data on the 4000 lber... but you get the picture.  Buildings, ammo bunker, fuel tank, radar, barracks require 312.5 points of damage to take down, while a hangar requires 2,781.2.  The entire spreadsheet in XLS format is posted here:

Stop with the argument, honestly, it's going overboard. Post your opinion, statement, fact, whatever it is you typed and leave if you can't handle being on the AH boards.

I dunno, I have a feeling someone is going to be taking another break from the boards, especially with the return of Skuzzy.
