The new bomb fuzing needs to be an option.

this guy sure looks like he ignored the new bomb fusing completely!

No. The plane is not over the ship, but well past it. I would say that it is at least 300 feet up. Ships are bigger than you think - a common cargo ship like that is probably about 30 meters tall. To ignore the bomb fusing (dropping from less than 30 meters) he would have gone through the rigging.

IT IS NOT about SKIPBOMBING, skipbombig is easy - try tanks.

Post a track in which you're having trouble bombing tanks. I and maybe others can watch it and explain what you're doing wrong. Again, it was never an easy thing to do.

He did go through the rigging, he also hit the mast on his way through. To quote the same picture captioned in 'Flying Buccaneers; The Illustrated History of Kenney's Fifth Air Force' by Steve Birdsall: "During the fierce convoy attack on March 19, 1944, this A-20 struck the mast of it's victim and crashed into the sea. Coming off the target, Jock Henebry spotted a dye marker and yellow life jacket and the pilot was picked up by a Catalina the next morning after 17 hours in the water."

Well, what happened to his bombs then?
