He 111: Bombs Ineffective After Rearm
« on: August 19, 2017, 11:33:24 PM »
In the Hardest Day Scenario, several sets of He 111 rearmed after successful drops, leaving their drones on the runway.  The new bombs failed to do any damage.

I think this bug has been around since the Write brothers.  It is so old that the new guys don't know about it and the old guys…well, let's just say they are old.  Too bad this bug had to be rediscovered during organized gameplay.

File (bob3_AfterRearm.zip) attached.
At the very end of the film, people start wondering why hangers did not go down.
Terrain: bob40

Something odd happened when I rearmed. I felt the "thunk" of weight being added but my bombs still read 0 until I hit secondary select and got 8 back. I know for a fact that ShtGn hit the same hangar I was hitting, as I saw his impacts. We were both low enough that I saw the animation of his bomb hits. I unloaded the full stick I had on that hangar and didn't see it go down after both of us hit it within 20 seconds of each other. That was really disheartening as I know I was spot on and I know he was too. We should have flattened it twice.
