Title: Increase Bomb Delay to 2 Seconds
Post by: MachNix on March 19, 2008, 12:20:38 PM

In the salvo settings, increase the maximum delay between pulses to 2 seconds instead of 1 second.  There are situations during level bombing where 500 foot spacing between impacts works best.  The bomber would have to reach a true airspeed of 341 mph to achieve that spacing with a 1 second delay.  That speed is beyond all bombers except for the Ar 234.  By increasing the delay to 2 seconds, the speed required to produce a bomb spacing of 500 feet would be lowered to 170 mph.

Wasn't carpet bombing the actual historical method used?  I don't recall hearing bombadiers talk about dropping single bombs down chimneys as they flew over the target area.
