obviously someone else had hit it before you..

that's why you only saw 3 guns killed.


this could be true but I doubt it cause no one called it out on country and I know I didn't it was my first trip there idk I had it to where I only generate a few guns on like the little shrimp boats and stuff from misses just come up with the main 2 5in on it and a ship destroyed message

It could have been hit 50 minutes earlier. I have a suggestion that could resolve this issue, somebody drop bombs next to a cruiser offline and see what happens.

This is an interesting bug testing, but I was suggesting a gameplay adjustment.

To hit a ship you need to hit the ship. A 500 lbs bomb 20 meters away in the water should do next to nothing to a carrier. This affects everyone from level bombers to dive fighter-bombers and back to lancstukas.

not that it would be realistic in any manner but...since it's easier to miss a ship than it is to hit one, just say no splash damage at all on ships, boats and lvts.

you know why a depth charge can sink a ship on the surface as easily as it can a submarine?

Do you know how close they need to be?

Care to share your vast knowledge on the subject? How close? 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000 meters?

and here i thought you would already know that information considering your last question...do the research, it's not very difficult to find.
