Bomb Salvo

HTC;

It is now possible for 2 B-17's to kill a HQ, one pass over the target each.  

This is because the entire bomb load can be pickled at the same time or very very close to the same time (.05 seconds ripple time).  In effect you have created "One Big Super Bomb"  

If this is an intentional feature and not a side effect, please disregard this post.

However, IMO this is too extensive of an effect.  If you condsider the accuracy of the bombsight.  This gives you the ability to put all of the bomb load exactly on one target during one pass over that target.

Perhaps the minimum time delay between bomb pickles should be increased.

BTW, I would also like to see the default salvo returned to 1 a bomb ripple, vs a 4 bomb ripple.  This is my personal preference.  It will most often save me one step during attack missions.  Generally I want to drop only one bomb at a time.

HT has said he has plans for the norden that, I'll wager, will make it more difficult to bomb with.  All them other buff drivers are gonna have to come down to me level of 15-20k to do thier bombing =)

It is not true :
savlvo works as 0.5 , not  0.05 s.
Bomber have to slow down, to drop 2 bombs on HQ in 1 pass.
I would say even more- HQ bombing is not worth efforts.
At least 2 buffs (+escort if possible) must fly 1hrs  to make radar down for 0.5 hrs...
