First im not generally a Modder (but do appreciate their Work), but looking at Bomb loads saw that 250KG AP bombs are of type GP bomb.

Now then looking at the editor there is only the type GP Bomb, but what seems surprising is that the 250KG AP bomb has an accuracy of only 26(Jap Dive bombers), while the 1000lb GP (US Dive Bombers) is 50! I would assume that the basic chance of hitting would depend mostly on the aircraft/bombing height( with equal experience), which for dive bombers is fairly similar.

So my question is- is the 250kg so inaccurate compared to the 1000lb or possibly

a) Device acuraccy has minimal effect on chance to hit in game
b) This is due to averaging the accuracy (Most Jap DB and LB use 250 whereas the 1000lb is mostly only used by US DB)
c) My assumptions are totally wrong

This is to offset the fact that the GP bombs tended to affect a larger area while the AP bombs had to get lucky and hit something of worth due to the small effective damage. It's a balance thing.

Bombs try to create a sympathetic explosion. They won't sink many medium or big ships without one.
