so, I am getting Trop hits, not many, but they are hitting and the report is showing my TB's at different alts ?

HARD_Sarge


if this ends up not being a bug/mistake,think there is any change we could get the report changed, so it would read, if the plane was dropping Trops or if it was dropping bombs ? that could clear up so hassles on the players part as to what they are really seeing

hmmm wait one, look back at my other AAR, it shows Bettys lanching Trops at 200 ft, it is saying TBF's bombing from what ever and as that attack on the CA's with FOW off shows, I am dropping Trops

and from my first AAR, which shows the TBF's at the right height of 5000 ft, that says they are bombing also

????

LOL what are those P-40's doing ? must be on Excourt from PM, long way to fly, to join a raid with no enemy Cap !!!!

FoW off means recon level is forced to 1 no matter what so better intel all around generally.

The fact they are reporting as bombing yet dropping torpedoes *is* a problem.

I count 40 TB's in the first attack out of 41 ... one got shot down I assume.

Need the save.

Mail sent, but I am having a hassle, when I zip it, it is coming in at 1.36, both my accounts say it is over the 1024 size limit to send ??????

I edited the ARR to take out details that were not needed, so I cut out the damaged and lost planes

for what it is worth, I have seen this since the game came out (I got it the first day it was ready for dl)

what alt should TBF's be at to drop Trops ?, playing with the Alt Arrows, I get 100 ft or 1000 ft

HARD_Sarge

You don't set the alt that it drops ... any alt except 100 will be fine.

It reports 200 feet as the drop height, that is NOT the height to set them to fly at.

see my reply to your email.

K, got your save, looking into what and why ... coupled with how [;)]

save has been sent

roger on we don't set the alt for the drop, but before 5000 was good for TBF's, but was just checking to see if I could "force" it to give the launching Trop message

but again, since I have had the game, the only planes I see with message is some of the betties that are based at Truk, the rest of the betties are between 10-15 K and my TFB/TBMs are shown at 5000, bombing

HARD_Sarge

Mr. Frag did you get my combat report and save file I sent ya. Concering Bettys and torps.[:D]

Some days ago i played the Marianas Scenario and attacked Palau with carriers, hitting the capital ships sitting in port.

Experimental i send in my Avengers at 16000 feet like the dive bombers, and it seems they all!! attacked with torpedos, scoring numerous torpedo hits.

Had this one happen to me yesterday and I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on the problem, if there is any.

Another oddity---they are noted as bombing and during the replay you can hear the “bombs”, but the used torpedoes according to the damage received and the graphics displayed…

I am getting the exact same thing. Very rare torpedo hits, bomb falling sounds when the planes should be launching torpedoes, showing bombing run at flight altitude and not torpedoes dropped at 200 ft.... US CVs are operating within the range of Rabaul with impunity due to this.
