Hi Rayydar I am using android sys. I had the same problem with 500 lb bomb on both side large carriers. But for shore target the only target the bomb didn't work on was the armored bunker. I don't even try a 500 lb bomb anymore on the large carriers . I found torpedo to work the best.

Hi Lewis, so do I.

I'm so sorry, my bug report about bombing resulted from yesterday's experience.
Today, in the same IJN campaign run-through, the second error is no longer reproducible. I can even kill a 10" armor bunker with a 2000 lb bomb.
Later I'll switch back to the 500 lb bomb just for testing.

I found that the 2,000 lb bomb will take anything out Cheers!

Thanks for the reports.

Essex has always acted a little strange with its capsizing mechanics... At least it only happens rarely

We'll check out the 500lb bombs. They don't have much in armour piercing so they're best used against light targets, but that should include hangers. They intentionally only cause superficial damage to the CV's so that CV trumps CVE. But several 500lb hits can put out a CV's flight deck.

The 500 lb bomb will knock out the flight deck on the escort carrier on both side.
I hope your next ver of the game is not to far out . I am on my 4th time thru both side. Great game

With some luck the sequel could be out by the end of the year or early next. It is a whole re-make of the game and we've implemented some very ambitious plans. But they are coming together really well!

The plan is to announce the sequel some time in the next several weeks along with some screenshots and information about what's in it. No doubt it will generate some more detailed discussions.

Best news so far! Be sure to be flooded with input!

BTW: My natural laziness always makes me wonder:
Why isn't the gun elevation automatically set to the value determined by radar? Thus the sliders would only be needed if adjustments are to be made ('determined by Rayydar' ).
