Just wanted to add some real-life experience to this....

When listening to the FACs talk about the F-16 dropping bluebombs (concrete bombs practice MK82's that only simulate regular MK82's weight and performance without the bang) I've heard the bombs actually go through the earth, follow the rockbottom under the dirt and then emerge further away from the impact hole... The bombs carry SERIOUS amounts of energy, and if the bomb keeps its shape relatively intact, it should bounce up again like a pingpong ball if it doesn't dig into the ground. Just saying that considering the amount of energy these carry, it should be enough to launch it upwards again.

BUT I agree...

The bombs in IL-2 CloD seem to bounce up without any energy loss that would normaly be absorbed by the ground and deducted from the bomb as it "skips" across the landscape. Normally I'd say the bomb would dig itself slightly into the ground, deforming it before skipping further, now with much less energy than it initially had. So yes, I think it needs to be tuned a little down per "skip".
