I don't know if this is a buff or not but i'm certain that this is a buff. No, this is not a high tier battle or in random battle. I just tried to fight against bouge in co-op with my myogi. When the dive bombers were attacked me, the damage and fire is ridiculous. Three fire and a couple of hp lost. I never thought that before. The last time i was playing CV it was terrible. Only two or three bomb hit and one fire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only two or three bomb hit and one fire. either your just unlucky or AI ships get some favorable RNG. either that or co-op bots have better stats which isn't impossible. Bot know where to go to find you even if they can't detect you and also dodge your torps before the torps are even detected more info on dodgy bots: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

138 [HKACC] MissMeMiss Member 392 posts 4,597 battles Report post #6 Posted June 5, 2018 I think you being unfair in here. - If you meet CA, they can spam HE & burning you all the time, far more superior than Dive Bomber. - Dive Bomber need like 1~3 minutes attack interval to the same target. While a CA or DD can give you far more night mare with burning status. - CA & DD cannon can keep shooting all the time, it can be damaged, but can recover in a short time. - Dive bomber always risk themself & in time will be depleted, not to mention rekt by opposition air striker. So if Dive Bomber RNG burning status far more superior than a ship HE shells, it can be understandable. Else, how the hell CV can scoring damage ? Dive Bomber base damage is small, so it's rely on DPS burning status. Torpedo Bomber base damage is medium and rely on it's DPS Drowning status. I think the problem here is, you're ship are sailing alone, so you became a soft target for enemy CV. Not to mention your teammate CV isn't doing the best to protecting their teammate from air combat units. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
