matchwood -> Leo's ASW Test on 1.8.0.6 to test Naval Search (10/22/2007 10:05:21 PM)

Testing bomb loading on Naval Search:

I used Leo's scenario to test if bomb loadout works as per the manual. The bad news is that it appears to be the same bug as airbourne ASW (as in planes with stock equipment of torps flying unarmed). I took 2 squadrons of B5N and edited one to equip it with bombs. I then surrounded the island with AK's. The B5N group with stock torpedoes did not make a single hit but the bomb armed group made 20+ over the 40 turns I ran.

Also of note, a group of many AK's was seldome troubled where as lone AK's were commonly attacked.

I suggest that until air based ASW and NS is fixed for torp primary planes Jap players should edit the H8K to carry bombs and for carrier task forces should always use Val's on Naval Search, not Kates.

This happened just recently in my PBEM:

I don't know if the Nells were set to Naval or ASW Search, though...

Torpedo equiped AC will attack subs with bombs when set to ASW (this was fixed a couple of patches ago). They will however not attack surface targets with bombs when set to naval search....

I know. However matchwood tested torpedo planes on naval / ASW search and reported that they NEVER hit submarines - not with torpedoes, nor with bombs. I just posted this to prove that they sometiomes DO hit submarines.

you did get a message that it hit, but have you checked the sub?

Yes, it was moderately damaged.
