The strange case of the bouncy bombs

[Conte Zero]

guys, I have tried several options, but still my bombs won't explode, no matter what speed or height Im flying at

do I miss anything? for example, on a HE111

ctrl+W to arm bombs
ctrl+B to open bombs bay
button on my joystick to drop the bombs

... and nothing

Not sure if related but was playing the British campaign and downed a HE111 over the water. Instead of crashing into the water it bounced and rolled several times and then came to rest on top of the water. Definitely a LOL moment. COD is entertaining in unexpected ways.

I manage to get the 2 x SC500 of the ME110 explode, no problems except for the usual "jumping jack" attitude.
Everything but a dive-bomb will result in bombs jumping like yo-yos (which is absolute rubbish).

The problem I have is with the SC250 of the Bf109E-3B
Only 20% percent of the bombs actually explode, the rest just lands all over the place without detonation.

Go find....
