Has there been some changes to bomb damage that i have missed somewhere in patch notes?
Ive been having some issues with bombing Naval targets but its come to a bit of a head tonight with my German lineup and the 1000kg bombs. I got a direct hit on a Litchfield and also an SF40 but did negligible damage to either.
Usually 1000kg bombs make a mess of anything they hit (or near miss), but a direct hit on the engine room of the Litchfield made 3 of the stacks go light yellow and one of the boilers. Direct hit on one of the 88s on the SF40 didnt even damage the gun it hit, but did make one bit of one of the pontoons go a bit yellow.

this problem has been there since the last update. I wrote about it a month ago and everyone laughed at me saying it was a SKILL ISSUE. I dropped 2x 2000lb bombs on the moffett and NOTHING. I tried BR 3.7 and dropped a 2000lb bomb on the leopard, k2, t22 and NOTHING. it’s a bug. this problem has been here before and it took a year to fix it and now it’s back again. but everyone just writes SKILL ISSUE. the whole game is full of BUGS and gaijin doesn’t do anything about it. My shots just disappear or fly past the ship and do nothing. bombs don’t work on ships. AMMO RACK is RNG because I get hit on the front of the ship and ammo explodes on the back of the ship. now on top of that, even the players’ NICKNAMES don’t show up on the ships, so veterans have a huge advantage again and I’m bullying newbies or amateurs.

Yeah i have also seen heaps of ghost shells where my shots just seem to pass through the enemy. Tried again with bombs. Its 100% not a skill issue as you can see with with the post match shot simulator the bomb making contact with the vessel and doing little to no damage.
Guess all we can do is wait.

wait or go playing better game(WoW)
On dev server looks they fixed bombs damage.
very debatable that WoW is better. From what i have seen, you dont fly planes… just point squadrons…
Well most common issue on bombs in naval is that bomb hitting mast, and blowing on top of it, so it really doesnt damage it.
Have gotten games where I hit sovetsky in FAB 3000 , and hitting a deck it sunk , but hitting mast it kept sailing away.
WoWS is not a superior game.
It’s a different game. It, like Warthunder, has a variety of issues.
With the rubbish they’ve done to naval? It may unironically have become the better game through inaction.
China has a stolen Yamato with russian 40.6cms in WoWS. I beg to differ.
And War Thunder has an incorrect Gneisenau with the wrong guns, and that’s the least egregious inaccuracy. But as should not be hard to grasp, I am referring to it as a game, not a work of historical recreation (which war thunder also fails at for naval). The damage Gaijin have done to Naval’s mechanics over the life time of the project have left WoWS a competent competitor, if not a better game.

The very same Gneisenau exists in WoWS but is generally less egregious than WoWS’s abomination Yamato will ever be.
What Gaijin Needs to - and won’t do - is backburner everything for two or so major patches just to fix all the bugs that plague every mode.
