LB are pretty useless against a moving TF how accurate is it against large ships in port.

once exp starts to increase, it can be very accurate, esp with planes that have large bomb loads

Lesson I learned. Don't put any ships into a port that is within range of LBA! Even the night attacks on ports are nasty!

Altitude, my friend, altitude. Lower it, and you'll start nailing TFs underway. 6k ft is good, especially when they don't have air cover. If there is coverage around, be careful though...

In my AAR, I have been having attacks by 10 to 20 bombers (mixed groups of Martin 139s, Blenheims and B-17s) set to 'port attack' attacking Japanese held Singapore. Each plane type has been dropping at different altitudes ranging from 6,000 to 15,000 feet. They were routinely scoring 10 to 15 hits on half a dozen AKs and APs every raid.

Any bugs I report are always straight stock games.
