Two, the sub does leak. Lights blink, all kinds of wierdness happen near crush depth. If the crush depth is 150ft due to previous damage, it does it at 150ft.
If you get bombed. GO HOME.
Course you also should never have been bombed by a Zero since they didn't carry bombs, but that's another thread

In SH4 I've yet to come across a zero that carries a bomb, but during the war zero's could and did carry bombs depending on what they were doing. They could carry up to 1,102 lbs of bombs on the centre rack. They could also be designed later to carry 8 22lb rockets, or 2 60 lb rockets. Like I said, just because they don't in SH4 so far anyway, Doesn't mean that they couldn't.
Sorry Admiral, but I like to keep the facts straight!! |
Um, no.
The Zero could carry a centerline 250kg bomb, but this was only used on suicide planes. Any ersatz bombing up at 250kg or more was suicide planes (not counting oddball very late war variants that didn;t see combat). The wing hardpoints could each carry a single 60kg bomb, but they virtually never did for ground attack, instead, they sometimes carried small white phosphorous bombs to drop into bomber formations.
Zeros also almost always flew with a centerline drop tank---which they didn't drop.
The rockets were used as air to air weapons to try and break up bomber formations lik e the willy pete air to air bombs.
Cite some RL examples of Zeros being used as fighter bombers and I'll change my tune.
Here we go. The A6M7 (Model 63) differed from the A6M6c by virtue of actually having a bomb rack on the centerline (the first Zero to have this capability)---they had previously strapped the bombs to the drop tank rack for suicide attacks. Production
began in May of 1945. Can't imagine they saw much use as fighter bombers, what would they have attacked?
