Won't drop bombs.

[Gunfreak]

My first outing in the mossie since the big beta patch. 

The mossie won't drop its bombs. I open the panel, active the bombs, arm them. But it won't drop them. I it the button. I see it depress on the joystick the cockpit but it won't drop it.

There is a known bug with ground loaded bombs having a problem. Try an air start with bombs already loaded. I just tested, and they are working.

 

Good Luck

I thought the same,but they will drop,hold your weapon release button in for longer and see link below.

After the latest update the staggering of the bombs being released was altered so the bombs do not collide on the way down and blow the aircraft up.....this is all fine,however the staggering of the bombs from their positions is IMHO incorrect.

The bombs when released should drop from left to right ie the No1 port position should release prior to the No2 starboard position,after all this is how they are positioned on the bomb panel,if they're going to stagger the bombs to stop the collision.....but ED has got this in reverse,which is why it confused me......No2 drops prior to No1.....and if you drop all four bombs together,the No1 position (Port/left) is the last to release/fall from the aircraft,I think this is incorrect.

I haven’t tested this yet since the patch - so now bomb release is staggered even for the wing bombs? If so is BAD as it will scatter the bombs more.

Using them this morning, the 2 wing bombs now release together.

The bay bombs are staggered.

OK, that is not too bad. The bay bombs stagger seems very short.
