Night Port attack ... with say the Emily loaded 2 torps

Post by ROSLEY »

This is a great plane and has so many good uses ... The default load at night is 2 torps .
If there are ships in the port will they be attacked , is there any chance they can be hit ?

Is the Emily carrying torps on patrol in the day will they attack on occasion ?

Sorry for few itchy posts but I have been wondering about these things ?

When on Naval Search they will carry bombs. Probably 250kg AP ones but this is not entirely clear.

When on Night Naval Attack they will carry torpedoes if target is within "normal" range.

When on Night Port Attack I don't know. Suggest you try it and see ... There must be a good number of ships in the port for any of them to be targeted. Otherwise you will likely just get some "port supply hits" etc.

Frag just stated in another thread that planes on naval search carry torps if they are able to carry torps. On ASW instead they would carry bombs.

Yes I saw that. I'm sceptical but we shall see ... :)
