Bombing with 109 E-3/b
 

In short: How do you get your bomb to explode? I drop it and it just falls and nothing happens. I tried with master switch both on and off (Ctrl+W) with the same result.

Does anyone know? Now I tried the stuka and the same thing happens, I arm the bombs, drop them, and they just don't explode... What am I doing wrong?

I'm wondering if this is in fact bugged. So i gave up on the bombing until the next patch. I've brought this up in other threads but got nothing but crickets.

Try from a higher altitude, i think they need a bit of time to arm themselves while in freefall
can get them to work from higher up but low level drops i get the same a drop but no boom.
probably something to do with detonator settings but i can't figure em out just so confusing.

So they arm themselves while in freefall only? But once they hit the ground not-exploded they aren't able to arm themselves?

I remember seeing a COD video once where the bomb was dropped on the ground and it didn't explode till about 3 seconds after hitting the ground. So you would think they could arm themselves on the ground as well :confused:

I'm kinda confused about these bombs as well.

In the arming screen there should be a section where you can select the fuse type (I think).

the whole fuze (complex bombing) needs more explanation. Just to mention in the Manual that it is "difficult/hard to use" is not enough !

it's just a slider and a drop down with .558s or something along those lines (it might be arming time not 100% sure)
and the slider just has a 0 to 1 or 0 to 4 depending on the bomb type (for the sc50's just 0 and 1) and no other explanation.
Needs more documentation :(

I've had some success level bombing with the Ju88 after I mapped all the bombing controls to keys. they do explode now but I think I had to select bomb bay, select salvo quantity, choose salve drop delay,arm bombs...ect. I bound all the controls and used them all so I not sure which ones where the important ones.

Hey Justme,

If you could post a process step by step it would be much appreciated :p

Mabye a vid too :-P
