Personally, I don't care ... More then happy to drop 800 kg bombs from altitude instead of getting shot to heck and back on torpedo flight profiles. Funny how no one is complaining about the 800 kb bombs I nailed the BB's with ... or did you guys not notice them in your haste to complain about torpedoes?

Going back through various records, a lot of ships sat at anchor outside secure port facilities while waiting for their spot at the dock to be unloaded. Look at them being the targets. There are very few docks around the world that would be completely safe from torpedo attacks yet still have the space for more then a handful of ships. I find it tough to believe that every port there had effective torpedo netting installed everywhere that an aircraft could launch from. Looking at my current losses for Nell/Betty, I simply can not produce them fast enough to fight the war. Burning them up on port attacks on the hopes I hit something useful against brutal AA levels is not exactly the best use of these aircraft. While you might find folks doing this for the first week or so of the game, be aware that it is completely non-sustainable. The aircraft/pilot loss rates are staggering! The game will sort out this kind of player all by itself as they will no longer have any torpedo bombers in short order.
