***torpedo bombs dropped from zeros directly on top of ships,Hmmmm, Steve, what's a "torpedo bomb"?
And if you stopped your zero right above the ship, and then released that torpedo...errr... bomb... errr... that torpedo bomb... would it not fall indeed right on top of ship?

Probably not a good idea at really low altitudes.
Besides, how do you stop a Zero right above a ship? Do you use the "air brake"? :-)

Okay, I flunk war history. I meant one of these.And yes, the physics of bomb trajectories is amazing with CGI.

But, they probably figure: "Hey, if the explosions are big enough and loud enough, no one will care or even notice!" And, unfortunately, they're probably right.

Could not get you on Chinese movies, so the bombs will do for now...***And yes, the physics of bomb trajectories is amazing with CGI.
What's CGI?
And what's amazing is how many different bombing techniques have been developed.
CGI = Computer Generated Imagery.Have a good show, Victor. Sorry I won't be there. Maybe some day...
