I don't think this should be a surprise.
Consider the precision the dam-busters had to use when getting their
altitude correct, even when using a bomb the perfect shape for skipping and
with back-spin applied.

That said, it's very speed dependent. You will find it possible to skip bombs
from 200+m in IL2 with the P-51 and a dive from 1-2k.

It's true that distance traveled after a bomb has hit the water should count to
the Air Travel to Arm, however, with a ~850ft AtTA distance, I doubt the distance
traveled after first impact is going to amount to 10% of that.

Perhaps more importantly, impact with the casing and the ground/water should
cause explosion of the bomb if it is armed and unless it has a delay, even if it does skip.
