Great post, thanks

Great Guide! Please note that you can dodge DB's attacking you from any dircetion.
Good Db drivers will bring their DB's at you from the rear...so turning to the same
direction actually helps them line up. I prefer to turn towards the attacking
planes...because this increases the relative speed of the ship to the planes, making
dodging easier. All you have to remember is that the bombs will fall forward from the
planes in the line of the DB's travel. So when you zig...move your tail first in the
direction of the DB travel and then OH and twist your til the opposite way towards the
planes...causing the bombs to overshoot.

Please note further that experienced CV drivers know all of this.....there are
some...fortunately few...who will abort the attack when you go to the OH zig-zag....and
then re-attack you once your OH is depleted....making you more vulnerable. This delay
does, however, keep the DB's in the danger zone with possible damage from AA or friendly
fighters.

Further note that this also works vs Manual DB...the main problem that with Manual DB, you
get no warning about the coming attack and with manual DB the DB's can attack easily from
any direction. The best way to counter manual DB is to drive an eratic path from the
moment your see the DB's incoming....since Manual DB bombs a point in the ocean, and will
only hit you if you happen to be there....being erratic makes it harder for the CV driver
to predict the point you will be at when the DB's arrive at the manual DB point.

Have fun.

Good Guide, and it helped me ALOT in dealing with KM DB because they deal big damage,
i might as well point out that Zig-Zag Maneuver helps Alot when ur about to be DBed by
enemy CV because when the enemy planes release the bomb, ur on a diferent angle so the
bomb hits the water...-_-....hope this helps
(this might be hard for ships that is slow)

How to counter:

- approach the ship with your db
- target the ship but right before your db's dive, spam click behind it, about one or two
shipslengths away so dive is cancelled
- if needed click around a few times while overheat runs out, beware of aa
- engage and bomb the now slow ship!

Many large BBs simply can't dodge effectively, but this is a good basic survival skill
for most ships.

Great job thanks

I have found it easy to move towards them then zigzag right before they bomb... but that me.

Thanks this helped a lot
