Bomb Penetration Stats

[tortugapower]

Hello! I remember several threads where bomb penetration statistics were discussed. I wonder if we have access to these numbers from something like the "gundata" file for guns.

As ship designer, I'd like to have a rough idea what deck/TT is useful for my ships versus those pesky dive bombers. I recently suffered a penetrating hit from 1000 lbs through 6" TT, which led me to throw away my naive intuition on the matter.

I remember even seeing a table posted by someone of bomb penetration vs. drop height, but that is hard to apply to the game where we don't know the drop height.

Thanks!

i have been working on a bomb pen table for a while but due to holiday wasent able to finish it


current data which i am fairly certain is accurate is 1400lb AP dropped from divebombers will pen 6.5 inches of deck armor full tech but will NOT pen 7 inches no matter what almost gauranteed to pen 6.5 inches

2000 lb ap bombs will not pen 7 inches of deck when dropped from torpedo bombers




(also devs give us a bomb pen table please and a sap pen table i dont care how hard it is to acces i just need it please  knowing how much oxygen torpedoes improve torpedo performance wouldnt hurt either)

That is deck armor or turret top?

my turret tops were the same thickness as the deck (i know not smart but i wanted to test diffrence in deck and turret armor effectiveness


the hits were on the deck and i believe one on the turret which did not pen though did knock the turret out temporarily
