T8 I have watched bombs drop in the water and I get a c it. Its strange for sure. yeah I do have some cits hit too... I'm not saying like it never happens... but man, huge amount of times I can't even hit ships... like absolute miss with all 3 bombs even when the reticle is perfectly aligned. What I've noticed is that the bombs ALMOST NEVER go near the center... they will tend to go to border lines most of the times, like showed on that image... Kinda not sure if that's me or what is going on :/ Edited February 11 by CaptainPhenomen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking of getting FDR to play... or maybe midway... this is really frustraiting.

1,015 [HC] SgtBeltfed [HC] Beta Testers 3,467 posts 13,117 battles Report post #17 Posted February 11 Number one reason I stick to torpedoes unless I'm bored and waiting on my torpedo bombers to return or needed to find some fighters to drop for friendlies. Not really a fan of the German Tech tree CV's for good reason as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No - RNG is a part of every torpedo, dropped bomb, and shell salvo. It is needed for balance... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
753 [-TRM-] xHeavy [-TRM-] Members 2,513 posts Report post #19 Posted February 11 (edited) I used to bore downstairs to the top of the stack filling the screen then released it. Crit every time. The RNG amount is so small as to be anywhere at the stack itself. Edited February 11 by xHeavy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19 KarlGalster Members 54 posts 3,667 battles Report post #20 Posted February 11 some time ago they nerfed the richtofen by doubling the area of the reticle, this means that your chances of hitting the target are effectively halved compared to before. so maybe that's why Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
397 [PSV] mrmariokartguy Supertester, Wiki Editor 852 posts 6,620 battles Report post #21 Posted February 11 MvR reticle has always done this, similar to Enterprise. It is more noticeable now that the reticle is larger. You can partially get around this by dropping slightly offset with the target ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

207 [B_Y_F] sapient007 Members 683 posts 15,408 battles Report post #23 Posted February 11 It's not RNG. Bomb is coded to be landing at the edge of the radical more often than middle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
