Skip bombing

[scottak]

I think there should be skip bombing in the game because, from what I've seen, there are ALOT of people in fighters doing low level bombing runs from around 50-70 ft. in the air, so what I've come up with, while i know its not "original", is skip bombing. When some one flys low(50-100 ft.) and they drop their bomb/s, they should hit the water, skip, and strike there target and explode. This is usefull because it finally allows people to bomb low and not worry about their bomb missing or not detonating from being dropped too low. It also makes for a fast get away.

Oh dear god... I knew it was coming.

Bombs' arming altitude in AH is 250/300 feet AGL IIRC? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I would think you'd just been pwned by a tank or something, just before you popped at the dar ring. No, they wouldn't skip off the ground

well ya i was talking about water. mostly only level bombers attack form high up at ships.

There is no height requirements for arming a bomb, the bomb just needs to travel 1000ft for it to arm.

That's what I meant, but I don't think it's 100 feet

Im pretty sure the USArmy and Navy tests indicated that a drop altitude of 50-70 feet means the airplane is likely to kill itself.

That still wont change the fact that it is 1000ft

What?

What I'm trying to say with my really terrible communication skills, is that bombs, when dropped below 2/300 feet, will not explode.

A buff squad recruits a player with 'Skip' as their CPID. Voila' .... Skip bombing.

[guncrasher]

ask the vTards to train you. They have mastered the art of skip bombing or is it splat bombing?

I'd love to pay tribute to Barnes Wallis and Guy Gibson  by bouncing a bomb at a CV from like 2k away and watch everyone on the CV shout

"INCOMING!"    then  BOOM Lanc has 5 kills on all the coward 5" ers and revenge for the 999th time auto puffy ack has 1 hit pwned me being nowhere near the CV at everything from 3.01k to   21k, from 200  to 500mph,  It don't matter the grim reamer will take his next un-willing victim.    

before everyone states the obvious and that the bomb was designed for dams well we don't have any dams and the bombs bounce on water and the only thing on the water is a CV!

I've read of B25s using this against Japanese shipping.
