Ye, this is old good rage post. Let's discuss air diving.
green: dive for shielded or mobile target
just played a game, Ravens did not dive for levelers or gremlins in 75% of cases
actually it does not matter what type of unit u attack, they just fail miserably with diving
are mobile units not so mobile from the point of view of Raven or what?!?!

Thats very simple. The 1. time it just came up from a dive so the distance wasn't there to dive again. And all the other not diving actions the raven allready was to close to target when you dicided to bomb it. So no distance to dive again.
To use the dive, ravens need a small flying way. So if you target things more far away it will dive for sure.

It is august of 2014 and sfirenab has finally learned about the nuances of bomber micro.
Did it also take you 2 years to figure out the line move?

Someone in the lobby gave the same explanation after the game (distance too short etc) but he did not believe it (game broken, shit etc.)

Yeah.
To rephrase what
Magman
said, when a bomber has a target, it will fire at it whenever it is in it's firing arc, regardless of its altitude.
The situations where it bombs without diving usually occur either when an attack is given as it is flying above its target, leaving no time to dive, or during a multi-target attack if the bomber was previously targeting a static structure and has no time to dive when the target is suddenly switched (usually when the structure dies to another bomber)

You are way more bad at couting. I see 2 russian flags + 1 russian player. 2 + 1 = 3... as far as I remember from teh primary school.

The flags seem to have massive malfunctions this Summer.

I'm pretty sure
Connetable
lives (or lived) in Canada but has Russian origins. Maybe I'm confusing him with someone, but I'm at least 85% confident that I'm not.

Yes you are confusing, maybe with one of the player in banana clan. I am a real Swiss but it's not a disfunction, I am actually in Russia now.

Why is it even able to hit air? If so, it should at least work liek Claymore. It indeed hit air, but takes liek 3/4 of own HP.
