I also have this problem with bombs but it is not exclusive to the U-2. Since the new fuze system has been put in place I have a lot of duds when dropping bombs from a low altitude. I have done some tests and the culprit seems to be the bombs' arming time which is way too long after dropping them.
For example, flying an IL-2 between 20 m and 30 m, and 4 Fab-50 with low fuze at 160 km/h may result in a dud. Flying at the same altitude and 270 km/h will result in an explosion. I have also noticed that bombs start whistling one they are armed but it doesn't work every time.
