Status: offline 		Can any suggest the best bomb load for targeting U-boats?

As well, do you suggest that Bombing Command joins in the bombing of U-boats?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I use bomber command at night bombing manpower so no idea how that would work.

In processing some turns, Bomber command does not do much damage to U-Boat Factories as the 8th Air force.
Oh, well Bomber Command will switch back to going after Manpower.

Dump your incendiary loads for bomber command, you want as much AP as you can get. I believe they were made as Dam Busters, but they work. Bomber Command just has poor accuracy since they have to fly at night.
