But that's not the point - it's not about whether you can adapt or not, the question is why you even have to force ppl to adapt.

I suck with torps, but then again I never spent much time learning.
Dive bombing is something I hated before, now it's necessary, and you can't even be sure if you hit something at all.
I wonder how often even a experienced stuka pilot goes home with more than 3 tanks(500/2x50)...
But hey, they gave us the Henschel with neat guns, which love TD for, it became my new weapon of choice if go for AG.

IMO now I think they should simply put it as option since of rather big opposition to the idea.
Why I asked you to watch my track is because I think it is not fairly easy thing to do but just plain easy. And is a step closer to reality all together.
In ww2 they didn't do skip bombing from sea level but from certain small alts;

They would release a "stick" of two to four bombs, usually 500 lb (230 kg) or 1,000 lb (450 kg) bombs equipped with four- to five-second time delay fuses at a distance of 60–300 ft (18–91 m) from the side of the target ship. The bombs would "skip" over the surface of the water in a manner similar to stone skipping and either bounce into the side of the ship and detonate, submerge and explode under the ship, or bounce over the target and explode as an air burst. All outcomes were found to be effective. Unlike "Upkeep" or "Highball", this technique used standard types.

We still can do our skip bombing lower than their lowest alt in RL, but anyhow the fact that they didn't do skip bombing at sea level as often witnessed in pre 4.10 versus real life scenario settled my dilemma about the issue.
Why would I want to game a game?
That doesn't make a sense to me and a lot of other folks... however I see that is a prob with some other folks who want luxury that is why I said that I'm in for making it option on/off.
Argument easy vs hard bombing and both being unrealistic doesn't hold water for me as I feel this brought us closer to the real thing, especially the case with torps.
God forbid they ever code the waves and ship evasion paths, apart from few unlucky seagull strikes most people wont hit anything at sea.
