After being inspired by Captain Cruft AARs, I'm keen to try and get Fighter-Bombers going for Naval Attack. I did some testing and found them to be pretty good, given good enough skills.

However, I've come to my PBeM game, and I can't seam to raise LowN.

I've set some Aussie Beaufighter squadrons training 100%, Naval Attack, at 2000 Feet. However, their NavB skill is raising, not their LowN.

Any ideas?

Doesn't that raise their Strafing Skill?

I want to know why the fighter / fighter-bmbr / night-fighter are separate categories

since.. japanese night-fighters (Nick, etc) didn't carry radar, they wouldn't have any bonus

and even the Reisen was used as a fighter-bmbr (with those 2x60kg ordnance)..

Beaufighters are all but useless due to the small bomb load. OK for barges and small ships but that is about it.

Specifically, your training parameters will not yield an improvement in LowN attack skills. They must be set at an altitude of 1000 feet. >1000 feet altitude raises NavB, as you've discovered.

There was once a Saturday Night Live bit speculating what the world would be like if Superman was German. Can't seem to find it on youtube but it would have headlines like: "Uberman invades England. Kiils Everyone!"

Yes, a unrepentant Nazi, who was an acquaintance of Josef Mengele, and an admirer of Juan Peron and Alfredo Stroessner. I wonder if he gets to wear all of his medals in hell.

Your definition of a hero and mine differ greatly....
