what is wrong about airdropped torpedos is manual aim. You can avoid (mostly)when CV not using manual aim. I didn`t know that when i started with CV`s. After i found out how to do it i just cant miss battleships with my TB`s anymore. Yes i always focus BB first, why in the hell would i even try to hunt DD`s. By the way AA is massive dice roll. TB`s and DB`s can fly around CV`s all day. Yes they randomly shot down 1 or 2 planes.
my opinion: remove manual torp aim or increase range for torps to activate from what now looks like 1km to 3km if manual aim is used.
