Incidentally, I tested out another uber port strike, this time on Yokohama. This time I swept first to get rid of the cap, and sent the strike at 14k so the dive-bombers would release at low altitude. The weather was awful, the fleet has been at sea for a while so the strike was significantly smaller, a lot of flak casualties were sustained ... but bombing accuracy was certainly improved. About 3000 less bombs dropped, still about 400 reported hits. quote:
