The new bomb fuzing needs to be an option.

I flew a few campaigns using the realistic bombs and torpedo fusing mod, it made bombing much more challenging and entertaining.
I found that it was easier to bomb ships in a 45deg dive than sjip bombing, having practice with that mod i could bomb succesfully in my first 4.10 jabo mission.
To me it made Jabo more atractive, it just harder and demands more practice, you have to focus more, but when you hit the target is much more rewarding

I started yesterday DCG Luftwaffe pilot in Eastern Front campaign in 1./JG5 with Bf 109 E-7/B. Jabo Rules!

Sure but:
As far as I know(haven't tried yet), they didn't change the damage model of the German bombs.
Now, if I get a 2sec delay, but on the other hand an increased blast radius, I'll be fine with that.
Still, expect our kill/sortie ratio will be changed for ever, at least minus 20%.

Something else I fear is the comparison to the IL2.
In 4.09 this bucket could kill about 12 Tiger in a single attack, thanks to their cluster ammo.
I don't know if this is historical correct, I would guess not, as in the other case there must be a Russian "Rudel" pendant with thousands of tank kills...
Wiki says: with PTAB you could kill about 2 tanks in average.

I have no problem flying home with a few kills less - but I feel castrated in comparison to the uber-IL...

Maybe we are just supposed to use the Henschel for ground attack now.
Operation 'Certain Death'...

Until as i known and reading books (Air Combat Manouvres) this was the right tactic. They flew very near to the deck to evade enemy fire then climb when approaching the target to release the bombs cause bombs may not explode if dropped too low. I see nothing wrong with the new bomb fusing. I do not understand, what is the real thing then? If its possible to improve, do it in next patches but now is better than 4.09 way.

But this i described above is true, pilots flying very low climbed a little to release the bombs. Instead to be complaining you must develop new tactics.

This because in IL2 tank commanders are idiots They do not use terrain advantage, camouflage, do not use evasive tactics, stay close and aligned under enemy attacks.

All this complains are just because a correct change that turns more difficult to the reds take out the blue armor divisions hehehe... Stop complaining and start to train my puppies.
