No, I asked about what hulls you're talking about if it is not ships, but moot point anyway. FYI, 500lb US bombs could penetrate about 40mm of mild steel max, that means they could basically penetrate all unarmoured ship hulls, but could easily go in on one side and out on the other against lighter targets, such as destroyers or merchant shipping.

The 25m cap idiotic though.
It's 2 seconds, not 25meters.

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

ElAZ 28 was not permitted for low level attacks. ElAZ 55 is back to the 1.6 seconds and 14 s delay for low level horizontal attacks, just like ElAZ 25B.
