Too low, too many misses? Was it in LWMA? What bomb loads? And/or films?  :D

If you had any messages that said object destoryed or gun destroyed, then some bombs missed.

I never bomb hq from any higher than 2800 feet above it.

IIRC it has to be direct hits to damage HQ - near misses wont do splash damage.

I thought I was on the button at 3k with salvo 14 and Flossie followed me with the same.

Can anyone tell me the best technique.

you'd have to be going very slowly indeed to get all 14 direct hits in one pass ...

either
- very slow or
- pull straight up over HQ (in case of NOE) or
- make two passes


because HQ is an "armored" target and bombs have to hit right on top. That's why a formation of B-29s has such a hard time killing HQ despite it's impressive bombload.
