Are these results realistic?

Post by jetjockey »

Japanese amphibious taskforce, June 8th. 1942: Amphib TF attacked by 9 CW-22s from 11,000 feet: 5 bomb hits. Again by 9 CW-22s from 8,000 feet: 4 bomb hits. And again by 7 CW-22s from 10,000 feet: one bomb hit.

xAK Mikasa Maru hit by five 50kg bombs, sunk.
xAK Kinsyo Maru hit by one 50kg bomb and sinking

How are light-level bombers dropping to 100 feet to drop their bombs?

Is this even possible?

Which scenario is this? Are CW-22 flagged also as dive bombers or torpedo bombers? Does each aircraft carry 2 x 50kg bombs or more?

Scenario 001, no mods.

The CW-22 is tagged as a light-level bomber with two 50kg bombs.

Thanks.

I have never had a chance to observe how light bombers behave in Naval Attack missions using level bombing against TFs.

The results you posted remind me of the dreaded torpedo bombers using bombs on ships.

However, maybe the code treats ships in Amphibious TFs as moored and stationery. This could results in some lucky hits in range of 1-5% chance. Your percentages are way too high.
