This is a real weird thing and it seems never to function correct all the time.
My last mission was with the B5N2 and the D3A1 attacking a US fleet with battleship and a carrier.
Waiponts for both flights set to 3000 meters speed 300.
Also the altitude at groundattack was set to 3000 meters.
B5N1 where carrieng torpedoes and the D3A1 was carrying bombs.
I didnt try to calculate time of arrival for the planes vs the ships at all but just made the plains fly over the ships waypoint and added the carrier as a target for the B5N2 and the battleship for the D3A1.
And in both cases the plains attacked as they should. B5N2 dived down from 3000 meters and dropped their torps at about 10 meters height and all of them hit their target.
So did the D3A1.
When i use along time calculating and setting up groundtargets and try over and over again to adjust setting so they hit target they sometimes do and sometimes dont.
But on the one i sett a high waypoint for all before and after ground attack all plaines hit.
Exeptions are if the targets gone before the last plaine dropps torps or bombs. If targets gone they wont dropp or attack other ships nearby even if they still have theire ordanance.
