Bombing online:

[robtek]

My experience is also that online the bombs are not working like described here:

Until that isn't fixed it is rather pointless to have realistic bombing activated.

I think is only realistic, can only speak for the 109 but am getting them to explode on SYN server. Low lvl is very hard as unlike 1946 they dont explode on contact but bounce after hitting the ground and travel for about 500m before detonating, and SC250 is very small explosion so hard to see especially when delayed and against the flak bursts. Am still experimenting with dets.

I had bombs and they exploded hehe

JU88 - the 500lb ones... the small ones didnt go

I did about 2 hours of testing this morning using realistic settings on my own 'server'. The results where inconclusive.

Ju87 & Ju88: Often SC250 & SC500s would not explode. I tried the various fusing options. I mainly do dive bombing and only got the bombs to go off about half the time though I was essentially doing the same thing each time. Basiclly with these two planes I found the bombs to be the most unreliable, I simply couldn't tell if they worked or not.

I found the higher you released them the more chance you have of them going off. The SC50s are more forgiving.

Low level bombing in the Ju88 doesn't really work, they just bounce and fail to explode, even with low level fusing.


Blenheim: With General Purpose fusing I got them to explode quite often even at relatively low levels. I don't mean on the deck but lower than you can manage in a Ju88.

Bf109 & Bf 110: generally I could get these (sc50s, SC250s & SC500s) to explode in a shallow diving attack, again not too low though.

Br20 & He111: didn't really try much. Without level stabiliser level bombing is difficult. However the he111 using SC250s again where uinreliable bombing from altitude (4000m).

Conclusion:

I don't know if what I saw was the result of a game bug or if this is 'realistic' or what is intended. Bombing certainly isn't easy!

Flash hit me up for co op.... I want to see this. Can we crew in syn server?
