Luno is right... if you have realistic bomb fuses on in 4.11 the settings are much different. You have different types of bomb fuses and some are better than others for things like skip bombing and low level attacks. Others are better and more damaging when dropped from higher altitude with an instant contact explosion.

If you are skip bombing fly the run at 100 meters (generally) and at high speed with the low level fuse and a minimal delay (4.0 seconds is usually the lowest). The bombs need a moment to arm which is why you fly at 100 meters rather than 5 meters... but the low level setting will arm them fairly quickly and then the delay timer allows you to escape while the bombs impact the side of the ship and sink just beneath the waterline before exploding.
