The new bomb fuzing needs to be an option.

[JG53Frankyboy]

the working window in 4.10 is actually small.................
loaded a B-25 with 500lb bombs (unlimited ammo) and tried to skip (just to see IF the bombs are skipping and donating) with level stabilizer:
20m, skipping yes, exploding no , hence the 2 sec fuze
30m, both ok
40m, ok
50m, ok
60m, not skipping anymore !!!!!!!
thats around 195feet

one have to learn to estimate/calculate the distance to target new, true. in 4.09 you were so low to have the target always in your Revi sight

[Wolf_Rider]

60ft (18m) ~ 300ft (90m) out seemed to be the real world value for the drop

I finally found enough motivation to train my BK skills as I'm not going to relearn everything - at least not in the same game.
No more bombing for me.

Stopped bombing too, as long as blast effect, shockwaves and crew modelization is not done. I wait next patch.

Try skip bomb a DD with full AA with your method now. I personnaly want to play and have fun, not to fly 20 minutes to get killed instantly, and hit refly to have a second try 20 minutes later.

indeed , thats a proplem on Dogifhgtservers.... at MOST times you are flying alone in your bomber/assault plane

the the good old times of many COOP online wars looks like to be over a real pitty , as the game is as its best in this mode - IMHO !
attacking ships succsefully (read, to win the mission ) with bombers needs in 4.10 not only teamwork bewtween the bombers, also close fightercover is needed more than ever with the new approach limits you have to care about flying your crate .

[fruitbat]

i get it now.

people want to be able to sink a DD all on there own, and its just not fair that you can't now

[Oktoberfest]

No you don t have it Fruitbar. Most people don't have 3 hours per day to fly. I personnaly have only 30 minutes to 1 hour the day, and most time only one or two days per week because of other issues. As I said, I want to simulate AND to have fun. I have not the time to learn procedures again that I learned for 6 or 7 years for bombing.

I am ok to have it more realistic, but in the real world, strafing a cargo ship with 20mm and 30 mm guns would set it on fire (HE, AP and incendiary rounds mixed), and droping 1 ton of bomb between 1 cm and 20 m next to it would cause massive damage to the hull integrity.

In real life, when you strafe the deck of a DD, the crew at the machine guns and light AA guns tend to get transformed in hamburgers.

Today, you may have the realistic bombing, but not at all realistic effects on the ships, where you have to glue your bomb to the ship to have it to work.

I find it sad that for the sake of a few "I'm a geek hardcore WWII nerd that want to have it realistic because I'm an ueber armchair pilot", lots of pilots lose the fun side of online war.

I still see this game as a free time fun, not as an "I need to plan everything from A to Z to have a 1% success rate instead of 0%, and this is fun!"

Did you actually try to skip bomb in 4.10? You make it sound like the new fuse requires a college degree to master it...

I mean really... funny...

In the time it took each person to post their complaints here, they could have learned how to skip bomb in 4.10!!

"I need to plan everything from A to Z to have a 1% success rate instead of 0%, and this is fun!"

Couldn't agree more.

Yes it does and it says also

60 to 100 ft. away from the target was the way to do it

that will not work with 4.10, as you have to release at a greater distance than that.
