Do you know any hot lesbians?

I'm suspecting a few in the thread as we waste time on this subject.

If you say it does then I believe ya but now i'm wondering just how big that "popcorn box" is? I was under the impression that the ack target box is about the same size as 1 plane if that.... any bigger I'd think the ack would take out buffs 3 at a time. 

Box size is in the 3/4 mile range.

Nope, level bombers are always able to sink moving ships. Just like WW2. It's the poor saps in fighters, red or green that get it.

I am pretty sure that level bombers were never widely successful against moving targets like ships.  Perhaps you are being really sarcastic?

Uh, yeah. I think he was. And I hate that guy.

Well, maybe you should read up on what bombed the British ships in Singapore.

check the hit percentage of Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, Papua New Guinea - there is a reason buffs were given 75mm cannons and a boatload of 50s and practiced skip bombing, air drops simply did not work or were quite ineffective.
First air drop went against the Shoho at the Coral Sea, here's a photo -


non-moving targets is a different story, Rubaul and Wewak ports were plastured by air bombardments, but those ships were stationary in a lagoon type area.

Thanks for the history lesson. Now google "sarcasm".

In the harbor or on the move?  Repulse and Prince of Wales come to mind, but then there were all those 17s that dropped on ships at Midway etc and didn't hit a thing.   How many tries by the RAF before they finally got the non-moving Tirpitz?

Gonna have to check and see if any carriers ever went down to level bombers.

If I remember right the first ship to go down was from a level bomber . Seems like just 2 of them ?
