If you want realistic jiggle physics you just pay the silicon price.

That story sounds a bit suspect just based on the different bombing strategies the two countries typically used. American bombers during ww2 on the whole were much more accurate than British bombers owing to their choice to do their bombing during the day rather than at night.

British strategic bombing runs were generally performed at night which meant fewer casualties taken from the smaller number of defending fighters that could be effective at night and the reduced effectiveness of anti-aircraft fire which made them safer but obviously less accurate since they usually couldn't accurately make out targets in the dark.

American strategic bombing was generally performed during the day with advanced bomb sights that were basically little computers that took into account the bomber's speed, altitude, and wind to get at least for the times, as accurate a bombing as you could achieve dropping unguided bombs from high altitude. Bombing during the day put them at greater danger from defending fighters and more accurate anti-aircraft but it was deemed worthwhile for the greater accuracy and damage done to targets.

Betrayal at Krondor was amazing. Masterfully written, with fun riddles, and that music chef's kiss

Okay I was being a bit hyperbolic, I like the game as a whole but that was the first time I was forced to commit the cardinal sin of looking up a guide to make it through a Lucasarts adventure game :<

1 slammed = 2 skewered

1 skewered = 3.7 blasted/put on blast

5 claps back = 3 slammed

Everyone knows these conversations man. Hate to slam you for not knowing but are you living in Luxembourg or something? 🧐
