Delay Timer on Ord

[2DIE4_420TH]

I would like to see some kind of delay on the ord so you can drop from 200 ft.

 climb higher

buddy, your bombs need to fall 1000 ft to arm anyways, so yeah, climb higher

[kvuo75]

yeah.. what?

 

you can drop from 200 feet anyway, try toss bombing!

well if that's so in the Game alright i put my head down and apologize but the people that taught me to bomb (and they are pretty dang good) said "your eggs need to fall for 1000 ft so they can arm and then you'll get a boom" so I've always gone by that

yes.. 1000 feet travel.. not 1000 feet vertical.. its called ballistic arc... i.e if youre level doing 400mph, youre doing 586 feet per second.. in under 2 seconds, your bombs will be armed after dropped... i forget how to figure for gravity, but I think they will only fall about 300 feet in 2 seconds
 

ahh f me.. my math stinks..

You can drop from 200 feet, and yes if your speed is high enough the bombs will arm and explode.

You just need to pull up slightly after the drop to prevent damage to your tail.

Ar234 you can actually drop from lower than 100 feet and have the bombs arm every time. If your at full speed.

Ok that makes sense the diagonal travel...as I said in the above chat I bow my head...thank you for the info good to know I think my buds know about it but they didn't explain it to me (yeah leave the noob out) guess that's one of the ups of forums

I thought bombs needed to travel 800 feet to arm... that's 800 feet total, vert and horizontal.

Me too.

Thought it was 800' not 1k.

I believe it's 800ft, the 1000ft is probably just a safety buffer, like how a lot of people tell everyone else to stay under 200ft on a NOE mission even though radar doesn't work till 500ft.

Still, the ability to set a delay would provide some entertaining kills...    Used to do it in the other "game"...set a 10 second delay, drop a bomb into a VH or on the runway from low alt...lots of fun if someone spawns just before that bomb goes off...

Don't give out the secret! That's how I take VH's out!

I went offline and tried toss bombing it actually works

Added fuzes to all bombs.  A bomb will not arm unless it’s traveled 1000 feet.  This translates to about a 100 foot drop at 250 miles per hour.  The faster you travel, the less altitude is required and vice versa.
