Single Engine Bombers

[Nat]

Hi all,

Just wanting to know if I’ve been playing single engine bombers (such as the stuka or Kate) correctly?

i) As a bomber can be shot at regardless of advantage levels
ii)As a single engine aircraft take boom chits on a hit
iii) as an aircraft with agility 0 (either natively or due to the -1 when laden) cant dodge so lose an advantage level on hit.
iv)If agility 1 (having dropped their bombs) they get 1 die to try and avoid losing advantage level
v) pilot skill is always 0

Just about except Pilot skill is not actually zero. Andy is working on some expansion rules to clean up how bombers of all types work to be included in the Air Strike supplement, but the guidelines are to treat bomber crews as Pilot Skill 3 unless this is the first year of service, in which case use PS2

Cheers Renko.

With the Escort mission, do the bombers move in the normal advantage level order? As I thought they moved last (might have been a miss read to be fair)

Normal order –
