4.10 pdf:
Bomb Fusing
Real life bombs have generally an electrical or mechanical time fuse to avoid premature
explosion in case of mishap (e.g. a bomb detaching from the aircraft while still on the runway,
25 / 35
or a bomb hitting the bomb rack due to turbulence). This has been implemented in IL-2, so
that bombs now have a 2 seconds time fusing. If the bomb hits the target before that time,
the fuse does not activate and the bomb does not explode. This means that in level flight a
bomb must be dropped from a minimum altitude of about 25 meters to explode. If the bomb is
dropped in a dive the altitude must be proportionally greater. This also applies to skip
bombing: the bomb must be dropped from at least 25m
and must not hit the ship before 2
seconds.
