I don't believe 30-40 meters is accurate for skip bombing on land. I recall watching a documentary regarding the P-51 mustang on either Military or History channel(back when history was about history and not about lorries) where archival footage of skip bombing was displayed. The footage demonstrated a P-51B dropping two GP 500lb bombs from a height of about 15-20 feet at the nadir of a dive. I recall that the bombs did infact explode on the target too.
On another note, I've noticed in the QMB that whenever one changes the map or returns to the QMB menu screen, the markings of all the aircraft have reverted to russian markings on allied aircraft and japanese marking on the axis. Has anyone addressed this issue? If so, sorry for the repeat.
