Robert,
I was hoping that the ships would not be as hard as we thought in the S3 tonight based on our tests. They were!!!
Why are the targets so hard in this Series? Our flt of 4 only managed to scratch one freighter. We probably put 30-40 37mm rounds into this boat not counting mg rounds at all. The (2) destroyers that were protecting the freighters had sniper accurate ack and killed (3) out of our (4) ship.
I have seen RL P47s Gun Cam Vids that blew freighters out of the water with their 50 cals.
I am asking the strike/buff pilots here is this typical for S3 strike missions to have the targets much harder then you would expect?
If so why?
