Your bombers seem to be quite successful. My bombers never hit anything, perhaps 5-10 hits total in the first 6 days and then a great deal of the british an dutch units flew. Maybe they should take a crash course in bombing "-you see, it is not the ocean itself that you should aim at... -No, the goal is not just getting cool splashes in the water..."...

I've been deliberately resting my aircraft a lot, and in particular I've been trying to avoid having them fly against "hard" targets such as surface combat TFs, or worse yet, air combat TFs. I find that the more that they rest, and the more supplies that they have, the better chance Brit and Dutch aircraft have of hitting anything. And at this stage of the war, what I want them to hit is transports. But I don't rest them by standing them down, I rest bombers by putting them on 20% naval search, which not only lets them rest but also gives some training. Then when they spot something I change them to "naval attack". I also try to avoid the "temptation" of placing my fighters on naval attack too, but sometimes I can't stop myself...[;)]

Well, thanks, I have to check that up. I thought for a moment there that my bombers "beer search" level was at about 150% or so.[:D]
