The "How-To" provides a taught altitude of 50 ft. 50 ft = 15.24 m

Good-bye 2 second arming time on bombs?

Nothing wrong with two sec arming fuse. The differece is that actually in IL2 is considered the time the case hits the water, not when the detonator hits the ship. You have to consider the time of drop plus the time the bomb skips over the water.
