100K damage bomber run

[Ciaphas]

haha, after I got shot down last weekend I have to grind perks to get B-29's again. Don't really play during the week and my perk points show it.

The two most efficient ways:
a) Attack (undamaged) task groups in OBJ 20+ bombers (fun).
a) Resupply towns and factories (boring)

Displayed damage? I'm very curious now. What was your loadout and what did you bomb?

anyone have milk?

500 pounders and drop 2 on every town.

It would have been higher but I did not realize that two of the towns were partially down. One of those towns I only killed 2 buildings.

How many 500 lbs bombs (you didn't mention your plane)?

I made a map a few years ago that shows how many buildings are in each town block. Originally, I made it to enhance shelling of the town from a task group, but it also points out areas where there are a larger concentration of buildings in a town for bombing.  For example: there are 2 town blocks with 7-8 buildings in each block, 7 town blocks with 5-6 buildings, 10 blocks with 3-4 buildings, 20 blocks with 1-2 buildings and 3 blocks with no buildings at all.  Anyone is welcome to the map and all the others I fabricated if you are interested.  I also have a program where all of these maps can be located on a separate notepad, laptop, etc. next to your monitor for quick reference.  If you would like them, you can private message me on this forum with your e-mail address and I will send them to you.  Strategically hitting certain regions of the town will save ordnance and maximize your damage per drop.

We have been talking about B-29. So it was 40 x 500.

That's 20 towns, talk about a country wide tour.

Thank you.
Yes that makes sense.
I compared this with my own numbers. While I never did a 40x500 town busting milkrun, I did one with 12x1k (unlike  points for score, bomb size does not influence landed damage display), dropping 11 of them on 11 towns for 59.278 points of landed damage, so ~5400 per town center. You made ~6500 per center. That's 20% more, which could be explained by the better distribution of damage over a larger area dropping 2x500 instead of 1x1,000 lb

I know you like tabulating numbers. Take into account that 2 towns were almost down when I hit them. Otherwise I would have had quite a bit more damage.

I had time while doing other things so I decided to make that run. At 20k I start my run. After each drop I climb a bit. By my last 10 drops I am at 30k. At that level it is important to spot the large lake in town. It is the best way to make out tow at those distances.

This was a single plane sortie and I found myself at 25k with a couple of pursuers who I attacked and then I found a bomber formation on the way home.

I did rearm once or twice.
