I had a set, each carrying 15 50kg bombs. That's 2250kg, or ~4960lbs--well short of the 8000lbs I understood it takes to take one down. The enemy CV had not been attacked for well over an hour, so there couldn't have been any residual damage that my buffs added on to. Is my understanding of the damage needed to sink a CV incorrect, or is this a glitch of some sort?
I landed 4884 damage points, if that matters.
