Delay fuse bombs

[tuton25]

for roof top level bombing
delay between 5-10 seconds
always go off after drop

Well, they would have gone off if you'd dropped them high enough to arm.


WHY would you want to fly stupid-low to the ground anyway? It doesn't provide any advantage to you.

Wants to bomb pursuing fighters?

[guncrasher]

somebody once gave a class on how to bomb from like 200 feet above ground without getting killed.  perhaps it should be done again.

I remember doing that in AW3

skip bombing...ability to delay the fuse would allow you to come in low and put a bomb inside a hangar with a tank camping inside or get some schmuck to follow you down low then use the bomb to get him off your tail, all without fragging your own plane.

I am a die hard mossie pilot and thats how they did their bombing in ww2
less than 100 feet usualy at roof top level

[icepac]

It's a huge dweeb tactic in Warbirds to use dfuse bombs to kill a pursuer.

Mills Lane would not allow it.

Make it so they don't kill planes in the air, but ones on the ground are still fair game.....
I can see myself at 25-50 feet over the strats in a b25c with these things

Actually there are many good advantages, especialy if you know where your stationary ground target/enemy is.

It was actually used in WWII. 

Would be a nice tool in the tool box.

We don't have planes sitting on the runway, these para frags would not destroy tanks unless possibly a perfect hit on top (doubtful even). Far as town goes just how much can one little bomb do? an Ack gun?

I can see delay fused bombs used on 109s and 190s - 250kg bombs which were dropped above formations, this is only thing I can think of that might actually work.

If in the future - we had runways with aircrafts lined up along side of it, it would make perfect sense... Aces high I can only see it damaging a small row of buildings in town..

Strat complexes provide a large enough target to make these work.

How about this:


You can use delayed fuze bombs only on bombers that did low-level tree-top runs.

As someone already stated: These would be PERFECT and actually would be historically accurate in term of low level Mossi attacks.
