I should maybe write my former instructors with whom I did my EOD training that they told us a bunch of bull about how mechanical detonators work.....
Sorry the momentary solution for skip bombing is straight out of the funny farm.
Until as i known and reading (Air Combat Manouvres) 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 have nothing against with the new bomb fusing. I do not understand, what is the real thing then? If it is possible to improve it in next patches it ll be very pleasant but the actual is acceptable, and think it 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 but maybe you are right when you speak about the bomb casing and detonators.
