Bombing with 109 E-3/b

[Fragal]

Try from a higher altitude, i think they need a bit of time to arm themselves while in freefall
can get them to work from higher up but low level drops i get the same a drop but no boom.
probably something to do with detonator settings but i can't figure em out just so confusing.

So they arm themselves while in freefall only? But once they hit the ground not-exploded they aren't able to arm themselves?

I remember seeing a COD video once where the bomb was dropped on the ground and it didn't explode till about 3 seconds after hitting the ground. So you would think they could arm themselves on the ground as well

I'm kinda confused about these bombs as well.

In the arming screen there should be a section where you can select the fuse type (I think).

the whole fuze (complex bombing) needs more explanation. Just to mention in the Manual that it is "difficult/hard to use" is not enough !

it's just a slider and a drop down with .558s or something along those lines (it might be arming time not 100% sure)
and the slider just has a 0 to 1 or 0 to 4 depending on the bomb type (for the sc50's just 0 and 1) and no other explanation.
Needs more documentation

I've had some success level bombing with the Ju88 after I mapped all the bombing controls to keys. they do explode now but I think I had to select bomb bay, select salvo quantity, choose salve drop delay,arm bombs...ect. I bound all the controls and used them all so I not sure which ones where the important ones.

Hey Justme,

Still no luck with the E3-B, just spent 45 mins in FMB dropping from different hieghts and trying different detonator settings, dived, skipped even armed one then dropped it on the runway while taxing but cant get the buggers to go BOOM!

For now I'm just gonna open the canopy window and throw rubber chickens on England till someone smarter than me comes along.
