I learned from James May's Man Lab on bootleg innernets TV that German bombs used a 'clockwork' mechanism to arm, and many were set to go off a while after they hit the ground.
I think it would be interesting to see them use a time fuse instead of distance fuse in game and add a longer delay to a small % of the ones that land in a town.
I think he said the delay could be up to 72 hours during the war.

you need to get together with Tortilla on his thread: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,334167.0.html (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,334167.0.html)

I wonder how loud you'd be after spawning 3 days after a raid and exploding on the runway with no warning.
I think area denial weapons are a very poor fit for AH, kind of sucks the fun out.
-
You effectively shut down the runway with a few guys with different delays for their bombs, dropped at the runway spawn. Lots of coordination needed but it can and probably will be done.

So you are just about to take a base away from the vBoys. You notice they all fly over to the town popup and drop bombs that don't explode. Ok they were under 800 feet. You get the base and move on to the next fight. 20 minutes after you leave, the whole town blows up, white flag, and a lone vBoy drives his just spawned in M3 with troops to the map room.
So next week they get the idea to do that with bombers. So they carpet bomb your feild and town with a bomber hoard 3 or 4 passes and everyone laughs at their obvious poor bombing skills. 30 minutes later your feild and town suddely go up in smoke and a lone vBoy tools his M3 into town and takes your feild.
Suddenly 3 squads get the bright idea of flying only bombers acorss 5 or 6 feilds doing the same thing. 2 hours later all those feilds go up in smoke.
I like it......

Thing about delay fuses -- you still have to travel X distance to arm them. Wouldn't change anything. Not needed in this game. Learn to bomb properly!

psst i would so use a SDK for this not a M3
-
THe idea was to actually have like 1 bomb per sortie not go off immediately, to keep it historically accurate.

have you played Aces High...
ON WEEEEED???

I think they were more of the cluster bomb type. Their main purpose was to shut down airfields and prevent crews from filling in bomb craters (I think).

The idea was to take out folks on the ground after they came out of the bunkers. And once the brits got wise to this and started to defuse them special bombs were used to kill the bomb squads.
I'll find the segment on youtube.

It has some merit, but theres nothing to keep the v-twits from abusing the hell out of this.
-
We had something similar to this in FA but the max delay was like 20 or 30 sec, it was used to allow you to low level bomb and not blow yourself up.

+1 for bomb delay timer hehe :devil
