The new bomb fuzing needs to be an option.

Everybody who sees only black and white has a limited intellect, in my eyes.
As i've already posted in this game there are no detonators and cases modelled, only bombs!
Why not assume that any impact before arming destroys the arming mechanism -> inert bomb.
And for the bomb-delay, that works as it should, at least when i tested it.

I strongly doubt that this is the case when skip-bombing and that's what this thread is all about.

I can imagine that the impact with the water would bend or rip off the delicate fins on the front fuse of the American bombs, but if the rear fuse also got damaged, then the bomb probably wouldn't bounce anyway.

To damage the rear fuse, you would have to seriously damage the fins that surround it. I suspect that would send the bomb spinning in a different direction or stopping in the water anyway.


I don't know, but I doubt that skip bombing could damage the rear arming mechanism, even if it did mess up the front one.

Of course, that only applies to US bombs.
