ASW capable planes may attempt
to fly pin-bombing missions versus submarines. To do this, the plane
gives a target sector, and flies there. If there are any subs in the
sector, a message will be printed saying that. If the plane then
attempts to bomb ships, it may get the chance to bomb subs in the sector.

The chance to detect a sub is the same as the chance of hitting it.

If the plane does not detect a particular sub, it may not bomb it on that
mission. On other missions, it could roll again.

Trying to pinpoint bomb land units is similar to trying to bomb a sub.
The chance to find the unit to bomb it is based on the unit's
visibility & the type of the sector it is in.

When you pin-bomb a land unit, it will fire flak at the plane bombing it,

it has an AA fire rating of 0.
