One addition to that- once you start it, no ability to cancel it midway through so people can't hit it before the plane drops and cancel if he doesn't.

a bomb has to travel 800 ft.minimum to explode--either straight down--or at an angle..anything shorter than 800 ft. it won't explode. :joystick:

If I am not mistaken if you tower with and enemy within 1.5k of you he gets the kill, you should have gotten the kill if you were that close to him.

You are mistaken.

In friendly territory, an undamaged GV can always tower out without anyone getting a kill. If any enemy is present, it's a 'ditch', if not, a "landed".
On concrete (in friendly territory), you can always land no matter what.

Firendly territory = closest base to your current position is a friendly one.

Is it AH or is it all games with this much happening where so many experienced players don't know so many specs on how things work?  Not exempting myself either.  Seems like once or twice a week I come across something really basic that I should know or that I thought I knew but was wrong.

Upon further thought, I knew that.  :bhead

A real chickenshat part of the game, that ought to be changed. camping is cheesy enough, towering to keep from getting killed, meh.

10 second delay to tower in a GV, I say.

I agree but it's like upping at a capped field.  You know they're there....

A 'concession' that also works in favor of planes when ditching in friendly territory with massive damage, thus denying the enemy a kill.  ;)

Which should also be done away with. RL aircraft so badly damaged that they crash landed were considered kills.
