Dud Bombs Rate for Land Targets

[sjpc302]

I have noticed than an extremely large proportion of hits on land targets are duds across all game versions. At first I thought I got unlucky several times in a row, but I have seen enough now to call it a definite issue unless this is somehow intentional. Two missions in different games I needed to disable an airbase to conduct an invasion safely. The first was a 1955 operation with very modern tech. Several waves of strike aircraft yielded 42 hits, of those 24 were duds. Another similar mission my TBDs hit an airbase over several waves and 9 of 18 bomb hits were duds. I have noticed this be a regular trend where roughly 1/2 of all hits on land targets are duds in previous games as well.

I have noticed 50-60% dud hit rate on airbases as well. However, when I've noticed it I was playing as Japan with varied tech and tech quirk #1 was active. The airfield that was most problematic for me was Hong Kong at level 60, and over two wars with England I tried to bomb that airfield out of existence in five battles... I think I got it twice, but time I remember best was that it took over 8 attack waves of 43-48 planes a wave.
