Low level bombing with the Bf-110= suicide?
 
Seriously ,in the various 110 campaigns one has to do a lot of low level bombing esp. against shipping and to my regret going in & getting a hit can & usually does resuly in some serious & sometimes fatal damage to my machine.Unlike Il-2 where you can set a 1-5 second delay on the fuses of your bombs before a mission begins I see no way of doing so here,at least no way that seems to actually function.Have I missed some secret way of doing so before I get into the mission or maybe in flight? Thanks!

Dive bombing - I could be wrong but I personally haven't come accross any accounts where Me-110 or Ju-87 did "low level" staright bombing runs, if thats what you mean by "low level".

They always come in on an angle from a safe height, and then pulled up. Obviously the Ju-87s came in almost vertical, but the Me-110's drivers would also dive with in limits.

you can set a delay of 10+ sec to the fuses.

According to John Vasco's book Bombsights over England, Erprobungsgrp 210 used 'shallow dives' of approx 20 degrees and released while still above 500 feet. Nothing about delayed fuses.

Looks like a lot of misses during the learning curve...

That's in "Custom"? I'm trying to remember if this option is possible in desastersoft missions...

i believe that the custom menu only works online. i dont really know though. you will have to practice "dive" bombing with the 110 on the offline campaigns

I did find you can change the type of bomb the 110 is carrying & use one with a veryyyyyy long 14 second delay...not the best option but usable.
