The way I read the formula, using your numbers, one bomb hit will destroy a random amount of supply between 1 and 136 (or 137 with rounding).  

So, to calculate long term, I would probably use the half way point of that range as an average for each hit from those type bombs.

I don't know how this fits in here, but in the emergency reinforcement testing runs I've been doing as the Japanese I noticed that often there is a phrase in parenteses next to a supply hit giving the exact number of supplies destroyed.

Here's an example from the run I did last night:

Airbase hits 8
Airbase supply hits 2 (lost 182 supply)
Runway hits 35

In my experience the Allies do not ever get this report with an exact amount of loss. Was it always there for the Japanese side, or was it an add in a patch?

My point is with the old rule you needed about 100 supply hits to destroy 50k supply at a field
(the 1% thing).

Could have knocked me over with a feather too. I can't say they always get that, in fact I'm pretty sure they don't, but they do sometimes. Don't know if has to do with DL, or a recon asset moving in the same turn, or something else, but sure is useful.

I don't know if this gives a useful quantity-per-point measure that the Allies can use (probably not due to the effect of ordnance size in the forula), but it's still interesting.

Edit Edit Edit: I just slapped myself in the head. Stupid. I'm running my tests in head-to-head mode. Duh.

Still, it ought to be directional, even if unseen.

Edit Again After Reading michaels' post: Yep, I'm running h-to-h with FOW off. Nothing to see here folks . . .
