You asked about hull penetration, I offered the answer. The did penetrate.

Did I complain about fusing time when skipbombing? No.
You confuse me with someone else.
The 25m cap idiotic though.

Anyway:
Here are some fusing and delay times, you get everything from .7sec upwards.
Ignore the red oval.

Some offer a good chance to blow up the dropping plane too.
