The issue is AP bombs need minimum 65 mm of armor to have a "chance" of arming. Not quite sure why you're including t5 ships, given that they can't encounter AP bombs.īuffalo gets citted, Cleveland is functionally un-citable, and Donskoi is citable. Ibuki is a prime example- it's fairly easy to cit. If you can land consistent cits on it, you have no excuse for not 1-shotting it. With them, midway has far more striking power. Without AP bombs, hakuryu is undeniably better. cruisers(because AP bombers are so much faster than TBs, they're easier to strike with), and they enable you to do much better in the AS war. If you fly in with either your torps or your DBs, they must blow DfAA or else die- and then you just wait 30s and come in with the other.ĪP bombs simply give you far more options with your plane spread, much more consistent damage against BBs(due to the drop circle, you can easily get 25k drops without any cits), more than double your power vs. Their two fighter squads beat one of yours- but on one side of the map, they have to have 1 fighter squad, and you can just lock that in and kill it easily.Īlso, AP bombs let you threaten DfAA-armed cruisers. You can group up your two fighters and bull through a single side, or, (if you're facing a hakuryu), you can force a strike. With that added presence, you have so many more options. HE bombs simply don't have that presence. If the enemy CV doesn't have fighters there, they will lose ships on that side of the map. If you send them on their own, they simply don't have the punch to force a fighter presence.ĪP bombs, on the other hand, demand a fighter presence because of their ability to 1-shot almost any cruiser(except Hindenburg and Minotaur). If you're running HE bombs, the enemy CV can just flat-out ignore them and generally be fine. However, that's about the only reason to bring them- and that's a pretty niche reason.ĪP bombs let you project your presence twice as much. If you torp a battleship and get it down to like 30k health and blow their damcon, HE bombs are better than AP. HE bombs are fundamentally only good for taxing battleship DamCon and not much else.
