The new bomb fuzing needs to be an option.

The bombs velocity should decide its arming if its skipped or bounced into the target ship or tank the arming vane should be the deciding factor.
+1

DT, please fix it!

I wouldn't know the RL situation .. but the game situation became a Real bitch ...

Even an enemy seagull can throw you off your imelman routine and send the bomb to a

henn house near by, if not to hell lol

Yes we could kill ships via skip bombing on occasion, but the randomness of it is just so wrong. Same bomb dropped from different aircraft even at equal speed/altitude failed to arm. I lost count of how many bombs I saw make good hits and not go off. A failure rate so high that it is beyond belief.

I'm beginning to wonder whether this is an issue with online play and the effect of lag on the fusing or something odd like that...I experience none of the randomness you describe. Either I drop too late or too early and miss, or I drop too low and it doesn't go off, and I can almost invariably identify what it was that I did wrong. That attitude of the aircraft at the drop is important as well. Do you have such obvious issues with the fusing offline?

He says he is releasing at 150 feet in a slight climb.

With the new delay, the bomb will detonate when dropped at just below 100ft flying level.

150ft in a slight climb will work perfectly with plenty of room for error.
The events in that video will work just as well now as they did before.

Doesn't seem to be a big complication. Skip bombing still rulez!

I'm beginning to wonder if the online component is indeed a part of this.

One of the guys made several drops from the recommended altitude/speed, got no "torpedo failed" text, yet his torps never were seen to run in the water and never exploded either.

I'm beginning to think that the MDS is a culprit here.

Maybe, because in all my offline tests all OK, just need to respect the "2 sec rule". I can do all kinds of bombing runs, even skip bombing.

But online, I don't know. Will test tonight!
