Bombs on allied tanks

[tegron]

Bombed many allied tanks... got many damages killed many squaishies... got no ET kills Bombs still dont work...

anecdotal arguments from an uncontrolled environment != evidence

A better thing to do would be to jump on the beta server and do some testing

tell that to dertod and me yesterday killed by a single stuka bomb in our tanks

Dying as a target is NOT the same as getting a kill credit as a shooter.

Dying means you lost all of the blood oxygen in your brain (yes, it is modeled).

Scoring a kill means you destroyed a critical component (stop the vehicles ability to move and or shoot, killed an INF). IRL this would be called removed it from action.

One does not imply the other in any way.

Just have bomb damages scored as kills problem solved

True given the tens of hours testing that was done I'm inclined to dismiss claims that are side-biased. Sorry. Just a ton of stuff to test and this isn't enough to go on for me to retest things already tested out.

i can vouch that this is definately NOT side biased based. i personally worked with DOC on 4 seperate occasions for a good 2 hours each testing ALL bombs from ALL planes on both sides of the field. 2 days axis, 2 days allied.

as far as not getting the kill, it could be as simple as someone shooting the commander and getting credit for the kill before you bombed them. /shrugs

Signed

Was on with DOC doing the tests

Both Allied and Axis

We won't entertain any testing on the basis of our having done this according to someones fears of bias. Sorry but we're way too busy doing way too much work and that means if it isn't an objectively reasoned claim with some basis in actual evidence of an issue (tested, validated, some degree of elimination of spurious instances accounted for) ... well ... we don't have the luxury of sitting around waiting for something to do to fill up our time.

So, how great is the chance that the bombs are acting in a biased manner, other than the fact that all the tanks are different as are the bombs as is the method of delivery, which all account for precisely duplicated results not being 100% likely 100% of the time ?

Poor ?

Good ?

A sure thing ?

These things matter to a 2 man test team on a 200 man project with 2,000,000 lines of code.
