Right now we can set salvo and delay.
Minimum delay is 0.05 seconds. Am I correct when I say that this would result in the release of twenty bombs in a single second?
If this is incorrect, would someone enlighten me?
If it is correct, go load up a B-26 with twenty 100 pounders and set salvo to 20 and delay to 0.05 then simply grab a few and release.
Please post your findings here. I am curious
if we have a bug here or I am not thinking this through quite well enough.
Thanks,
Yeager

You're right, something is wrong.
20 bombs with a 0.05 second delay certainly take longer than 1 second to release.
-
its .50 not .05 cause if you look at the spaces between the bomb craters you can see
-
it's a typo...
it should be .5 seconds.
Thats the fastest I've been able to get em to drop....

I was hoping we could have a smaller delay for pickle type drops. The .5 is pretty much the delay we have always had, its just that you can set it higher now. We still don't have a command to dump groups of a bombs all at the same time. I also wondered if when we drop a salvo, if the bombs could drop in pairs instead of plop plop plop. while this would give a mild bracket effect it would make accuracy easier, especially after hi alt is reduced.

If your in range, so is the enemy.

Assume you all know delay only works if you have a salvo count set?

yup HT, know that =)
right after takeoff in a B17 w/ 100's loaded (salvo 20 set before takeoff, couldna set 24), hit the pickle about 100ft agl, it takes several seconds to drop the 20 eggs, and if I look outside I can see small gaps between the bomb craters

Cc HT,
had salvo set to 10 (B26, twenty 100pndrs) with delay set to 0.05 and it takes at least a few seconds to salvo the ten 100pndrs.
