But in many bombers, the pilot had the ability to release the bomb as well. And shallow dive bombing hasn't been unheard of either.
To this and the OP's point there is a dive window the buff would have to be in to ensure bomb release and not blow up his own plane. If that could be calculated for each plane and modeled in, I'd support that change. If that's too tough to do. I'd leave it.
So what if a guy a dive bombs a carrier? If the bomber has made it to the carrier, you're too late.
