I know if you bomb a friendly aircraft you will die. 
If I had a gun with 3 bullets and I was locked in a room with Bin Laden, Hitler, Saddam and Zipp...  I would shoot Zipp 3 times.

Bombs still need to travel 1000 feet to arm....

This response should be a good hint that bug reports should contain a rather good bit of info
or detailed description of events.

No hard feelings Reiner, just a friendly tip.

I didn't think you could die in the TA unless you collide or auger...

 Damage against planes from another's planes guns is set vey low,basically 1000 rds equal 1 round in the MA.

   However the bomb damage has been adjusted so they can damage objects,to help with practice for the Coral Sea event.

 This means if someone drops a bomb on a plane thats on the RW it will explode! This is against the rules and the offending player will be dealt with.

  It's not a bug and since killshooter is off the player dropping the bomb/s will not die.

Unless I'm mistaken, they only need to travel 600 or so.

600 vertical feet with a bomb that has forward velocity. Think about it.
It needs 1,000 feet through the air, not strictly altitude. Just clarification.

I turned down the lethality to pre-Coral Sea scenario values, aka TA default.
