Hi Sirs!

Here are the three main cases related to improving IL sim for getting simulated bomber action authentic:

1. Bomb SALVO settings.
2. Fuse settings.
3. Missing bomb damage after pilot hit.


Nr 1: This otherways truthful sim has a queer property of dropping bombs as pairs.

Nr 2: Back in those days bombs were armed with a fuse best suited for that particular mission. Bomber pilot had the last word to say about fuse selection. I suggest that Pilot Fuse Select should be the case rather than Host Fuse Select with next patches..!

Nr 3: An IL sim curious feature is that bombs released before but exploding after flak or enemy interceptor has hit the bomber pilot do not cause any damage.


Hit A Tank?

In Hyperlobby online war campaigns we are still expected to hit an individual tank with a bomb. After 410m patch, one can hardly see a tank all the way up to 500 meters which is the minimum bomb release altitude from dive with 2 s 'safety fuse'..! Not to mention see enough to have time to aim before bomb release...
