Hard Sarge -> RE: U Boat Pens (11/10/2010 4:01:47 PM)

you got to be a pretty poor allied player to get forced into bombing the UPEN's, so I think your idea is off center
but, to the other point, I think 45 tiffies would of done much better then most of the high level bombers ever day, the hassle would of been range and light AA, but, the tiffies would of been able to pin point there targets, and locks and gates would of shut down the pens (besides other major target points) that the high level bombers were just hoping to get lucky and hit, so most aimed dead center of the pen roof, with little to no chance of doing anything to
when you think about it, a high level bomber raid, is counting on near misses to do most of the damage, a sub pen is not a target that, that idea is worth much
along those same lines, tests and studies, worked out that Tiffies and other fighter bombers at low alt, were the best way to take out the V-Sites, but the powers that be, said no, Med and Heavy bombers were needed, and what most don't know, most V-sites were very lightly defended, the Germans didn't want to attract attention to them
