  • DBs won't drop bombs

I'm stuck with this one....My DBs won't drop bombs.

My USN DB pilot has 50 vets and over 100 experts.   The planes leave with bombs as I see the number under the planes.
They are GP and not AP bombs.

The planes lock on target and dive.   In auto I can spam the mouse button and nothing happens.   In manual, I spam
the ; key  or the . key and nothing happens.   I changed the manual settings to m key and nothing happens.

I've tried it in GB, and in Missions.    The only damage that is done is that the planes Crash into the target due to AAW.
Either I'm doing something wrong, or I have some sort of corrupt file somewhere.   (Or I just Kamakazi targets from now
on)

Torp planes work fine.   Planes lock on...hit the . button and torps launch.

One funny thing....when I first got the DBs, the Dauntless names were in Red in the Console....even with bombs in the locker.
After a restart, the red went away.

I'm going to redownload and re-install the game and see if the problem goes away.   I have a help ticket in.

Anybody else seen this????   It's wierded me out.
Advice is welcome!

you shouldn't be trying manual DB yet until you're confident with your auto DB.

I had this problem when I briefly had IJN DBs on my Mogami on the way to Kongo.

It took me a long, long time to fine tune using them and I had EXACCTLY the same frustrations as you.

the only difference is I was only trying auto, because manual looked far too hard. After I got the hand of it Auto was absolutely fine for me.

My only tip is don't spam. target with right click and be patient. While you hear a lot about the advantages of dropping bombs at certain points in the dive path, I think there is a "Sweet spot" for release. If you spam it does nothing. Once they are diving, RIGHT CLICK ONCE AND ONLY ONCE, ON THE MIDDLE OF YOUR TARGET, quickly, and without accidentally moving the mouse while doing it. make sure you are clicking inside your target's hitbox or it won't work!!!

This worked for me after a lot of trials I found the right time to right click for release. I'm afraid thats all the help I can offer but be patient and work on it. I say again DONT SPAM it basically overrides the command and they do nothing.

Dont hold/press it, spamm it.

In your case you spamm the . button.

Always make sure that your bombers are at their max altitude before you spam right mouse botton
or .
