low level bombing
« on: August 25, 2008, 07:06:28 AM »
Is it possible below 1000'?  Can a explosion delay of 2.5 seconds be programmed  so I'm out of range of the blast?

Bombs need to travel 1000' (vertical and horizontal combination), they do not need to dropped from 1000 min alt. You can drop from 600' and score a kill on your target. Personally, I've never had a problem leaving delay set at 0.5.

The delay you refer to Kitt18 is the delay between bombs as they leave the bomb bay.
nonaste, there is no way to set a delay to the detonation. All bombs in AH detonate on impact. If you wish to avoide getting caught in the blast, drop from a higher altitude or climb rapidly after you pickle.

You're right.  I meant fuse delay and it appears that feature is not present
