I don't think HTC was trying to eliminate accurate bombing, I think they just wanted it to be an acquired skill

I agree.
although you need to spread your bombs more in order to get high hit %, you have three times the load of bombs to use (if your entire formation survived the way to the target). so by setting salvo to the third of the needed amount (say 1000lb for FH) and spreading it in 3 sticks around the target, you can effectivly destroy the same number of FH as you did before.

but you do need some skill, a bit of luck and tactical thinking for that.

seems like a lot more fun to me :)

I'm no longer consistently late after patch 2, I'm no longer consistent at all :D  Gonna need more practice than I thought.

Thats what I do. set salvo 1 and the bombs fall in a triangle on the target. hanger gone.
full salvo is for people that cant calibrate. the new system does not require it.
