Control Roll and a strafe

[Precentor Scorpio]

Good evening,

If I fail a control roll, does the aerospace fighter lose altitude? 

A strafing attack is only one hex wide and five hexes long correct?

Thank you

Those both sound right to me...

Does a "bomb" critical require a control roll?

[Daryk]

TW page 239 seems to indicate "no" (at least not in addition to any control rolls caused by the hit that caused the critical).

I think I understand, the bomb critical hit will require a control roll at the space/atmosphere interface per page 79

Thank you

Any situation where failing a Control Roll sends you out of control in atmosphere causes you to lose Altitude. Air combat is NOT for the faint of heart.

Note that there are times when failing a Control Roll does NOT send you out of control, such as when attempting a Special Maneuver. Because failure doesn't send you OOC, there is no Altitude loss.

Correct.

No. Only those crits that explicitly mention a Control Roll in their descriptions force a roll

Thanks for the extra details Weirdo! :)
