A Ju88 (Strat bomber) should not be able to reveal a MG nest in a town by bombing.

That is what happened.
But it makes no sense that infantry increasing their hiding efforts after the bombing should suddenly be revealed.
Taking some damage (unknown to the bomber of course), yes.

Yeah, usually it takes two (or more) bombing runs to reveal the hidden unit.

I like it and wouldn't change it.
Explanation? I don't know, good eyes of the bomber crew? :wink:

I use this {Gameplay Bug} to reveal hidden units before attacking the locations. This gives interest to Strategic Bombers :idea:

Eagle-eyed bomber crew I would say.
First high-level bombing where the crew has problems hitting a factory.
Then pin-pointing a MG nest after it has been buried in rubble.
Remember, a tank crew can't see the nest parking next to it.
Nope, this has bug or poor design written all over it.

OK, it's unlucky to have happened with a MGnest in your case, seems super illogical then. Still, I'd vote to keep this unconceal-exploit in the game. :mrgreen:

In Ref Star I had a Soviet recon plane hovering over a known enemy infantry unit in a town. Never discovered it.
