GP bomb marks

[Bozon]

What is the difference between the GP mk.V mk. IV etc. bombs? MC mk.I and mk.II?

I am talking about the mark designation, not the GP/MC classification.

So far I have noticed that the GP mk.V do not explode - I assume they are the ones with very long delayed fuses? They do not explode even when I arm both front and rear fuses - I thought that the front fuse is supposed to be instanteneous and the rear one is delayed - not so?

The GP short tail does explode on impact, so I assume they are similar to the mk.IV (except they fit in the bay)?

Correct. The Mk.V has a 30 minute delay fuse. Non-adjustable.

Not so. It's 30 minutes front or rear.

Ultimately, if you want any other fuse time, instantaneous, 1 sec, 0.1 sec, 11 sec, etc, use any other bomb variant than the GP mk.V.

Correct.

@DD_Fenrir thank.

In the meanwhile after posting this thread ED implemented the new fusing menus in the loadout screen, so now the fusing issue is much clearer.
