Mine like to do this too. Several times some Bettys flew against PTs outside of Perth.

I blamed it on low DL and high aggression.

It's rare that bombers will target craft deployed from pools but it does happen.

They will, however almost always go after very small craft represented as individual ship types such as HDMLs.

Aye. Just had a bunch of mKB Kates torpedo a bunch of HDMLs. At least they're trying.

Look at the top of the map screen toward the right hand side. It shows % moonlight.
