What do you prefer: same combat value, different number of dice according to land, Sea, Defense or different combat value off land or Sea/ Def, same number of dice?
Ya I got 5 turns in game with them so far. With lower @ number makes them some what weaker on all. The over kill risk is lower. The naval attacks are a bit harder. Of probably 8 med bomber attacks only probably 4 kills. Couple bombers naval with no hits.
Still, the above odds are better for Heavy on Naval than below:

AA Gun D@1Ya I crunched numbers too.
Old way was the question is how much of a reward u want to make the bomber kill.
Old way 2 Stg b rolled 2 rounds of combat and got 8 hits out of 16 rolls. The thing was it helped them take Calcutta but then in other battles like Europe it gave the allies the lil chance for same thing when they attacked Rome and naval and didn’t get the reward rolls.
I’ll keep it where its at for now. -
With the new way you get easy value to remember:
Medium: @2, all types of rolls
Heavy: @3 all types of rollsIt is too early to change something.
Also, the Calcutta raid was an oddity, India got diced. -

In your game MedBomber 4 @2/12 carpet bombing is a real one each combat round.
Same odds as OOB 4/6, but it is 4 rolls @1. Acting like 4 infantry attacking.I will try to crunch on this special roll.
4 Infs @1 means 4/6* up to 4 hits for 16 strength points (pipshit) while one regular bomber is
1 roll @4 means 4/6 up to 1 hit for 4 strength.
2 roll @4 means 8/6* up to 2 hits for 16 strength.So, Med bombers are like twice stronger than OOB G40 StB, assuming same cost.
Because you have more rolls for same odds, you can reduce faster the enemy defending stack for the same attacker sustaining capacity.To make them even with OOB, in D12, it needs 2 rolls @2/12 for 42 hits = **8 points of strength in D12s pipshit**
Or, mostly, 3 rolls @1/12 for or 3@1/123 hits = **9 points of strength in D12s pipshit**But you only have 1 hit of sustaining power per bomber…
I think I’m slowly understanding this particular type of dice mechanic.
Comparing both Medium:
A 4d12s @2 ground only every round
A 2d12s @2 naval only every round
and Heavy bomber:
A 3d12s @3 ground only every round
A 2d12s @3 naval only every roundKeepings D12s pipshits
Medium Bomber
4 @2 means 8 pips up to 4 hits for 32 strength points or pips*hit
2 @2 means 4 pips* up to 2 hits for 8 pips*hits
1 @2 means 2 pips* up to 1 hit for 2 pips*hitsHeavy bomber:
3 @3 means 9 pips* up to 3 hits for 27 pips*hits
2 @3 means 6 pips* up to 2 hits for 12 pips*hits
1 @3 means 3 pips* up to 1 hit for 3 pips*hitsThis means Medium bomber are more efficient at land units even if less accurate (smaller odds 8/12) than Heavy (9/12) and can be better to lower down enemy stack.
If I compare with YG 3@ 5/8 or 3@3/8.
5/8 means in D12s pips 7.5/12
3/8 means 4.5/12StBs on land:
3 @7.5 means 22.5 pips* up to 3 hits for 67.5 pips*hits for 1 round onlyStBs at sea:
3 @4.5 means 13.5 pips* up to 3 hits for 40.5 pips*hits for 1 round only -
But you would be amazed how much u dont get hits. Remember we lowered I believe from 4 d12 @3 I think. Id have to go back and look.

-
@SS:
But you would be amazed how much u dont get hits. Remember we lowered I believe from 4 d12 @3 I think. Id have to go back and look.
That is the part I’m not sure.
Can I consider 100% of dice rolled, or just according to each probable odds of a hit (so 2@4 and 4@2 would be same strength as 1@8)?IDK.
-
I need to find those old numbers I had and you posted the new values for bombers. I know Naval hit % is lower which I like but if I remember we gave same odds but added a die and lowered the @ number 1 and like u said try the 333 and the 222
-
It was 3d12 @4 for one round of combat only and any rolls of 1 kill with a no return shot when I first tried carpet bombing.

I just copy-paste from TP : “d) Escape attempt for Transport @2, if alone and being attacked by only subs or planes and is not killed per round.”
I did not realize you slightly change to include surface vessels in comment below.
“d) Escape attempt for Transport @2, if alone and being attacked by surface ships and or subs or planes and is not killed per round.” -
Got some more turns in game. Germany ready to take Stalingrad and Italy taking back Cairo in 2 turns maybe giving the Axis 29 points soon. There at 26 right know. UK landed in Norway. Even though UK sacrificed a lot there it made Germany retreat its major pieces back to Norway with there planes giving Russia a extra turn buy. They are holding there own. Will see if Germany taking Stalingrad will cost them on Russias counter if they have enough. With the Air Base ( Fig- Tac M6 ) in Moscow it makes Italy and Germany to bring Navy support with there transports other wise the figs can hit in Turkey sz or Leningrad sz.
As you can see as in war the convoy axis raiding has slowed do to time to get Russia.Japan has been being hit hard for the first time in the Pacific. US trying to get close enough to do a landing. Japan figs on Toyko with the M of 6 for figs have countered any US landing in Soviet far East. Fec will not lose Calcutta and some movement now finally in islands. With that 2nd IC in India has helped Fec hold Calcutta and now being able to buy some navy and hopefully get some pressure on Italy as soon as possible.
