The new bomb fuzing needs to be an option.

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.

Once you add in enemy fire, which we did not have, and air opposition, there is no way you will even begin to approach historical success rates in the sim.

And all because the bombs stop arming if they hit the water too soon. It's the wrong approach. It needs to be changed.

On the other hand, torpedo drops can be gotten down to an utter science, nearly 100% success rates for drops and arming. Now this will go down with enemy action of course, as it should.

Absolutely agree, as it has become so random, I guess the aim is to stop skip bombing all together?
Just wondering what other curbing of flying styles will be installed in future....
