SBDs missing from combat reports

[fcooke]

This may have existed for a while but I just noticed it. If I attack non-naval targets with SBDs (AFs and ground units, haven't checked ports yet) they do not show up on the combat reports. It seems like they contribute to the damage, and they're certainly flying but no mention on them hitting the base in the combat reports. The TBFs flying with them show up in the combat reports just fine. Anyone else notice this? I think I've tried altitudes of 15k, 10k ,and 5k. Is this a minor, minor bug or something else? I have not played IJN in a while so no idea if the Vals behave the same way.

Only level bombers are listed in the combat report.

Divebombers always divebomb regardless of the target type they are attacking. Torpedo planes act as level bombers when attacking land-based targets (in which case they are armed with bombs and not torpedos).

So that's why they don't show up - they aren't level bombers.

Just one more thing that I do not like about combat reports. They need to give them an overhaul.

I never really noticed before. I guess I'm always preoccupied on the naval strikes at looking at the ship damage. It would be nice to have more comprehensive summaries in the combat reports for when I don't want to watch the combat sequences but would love to know that some pilot claimed there was an ammo storage explosion on the Kaga.....
