Bomb Delay Fuzing Options

[Korshtal]

I recently took a look at the manual for the Mi-8 and found some bombing tables that I previously assumed didn't exist, and in several parts of the manual there are notes that there are no fusing options available and low altitude delivery isn't able to be performed safely. 

With delay fuses starting to be implemented on modules like the Mosquito I wanted to ask if there was any possibility of short delay fuse options being added to the general purpose bombs for the Mi-8 (and Mi-24) as well? 

Few people know about any of the weapons release tables for the Mi-8 and put the weapons aside as being useless or not able to be aimed properly, and I think making bombing a more viable option would breathe a little bit of life into the aging Mi-8.

I have been waiting a long time for fuse options for the MI8, I really hope it comes soon.  It would also be helpful for the MI24 as well!  Low level bombing is mostly impossible with out fuse options.

Yes, I cannot recommend sightless bombing in helis without delayed fuzes, it is simply not practical. The Ka-50 can do it because of the TV targeting. Give us a bombing sight or fuzing for the Mi-8. It is still niche to bomb, but it would be a cool option.

Fuze options are part of the core. WW2 has the testbed and will move to all weapons on "modern" weapons in the future. It's only a matter of time.

Fuze Settings. All modern aircraft will benefit from the new and more advanced fuzing options first introduced for our WWII modules. This includes the new payload interface in the Mission Editor and Rearm/Refuel Window that will allow authentic setting nose and tail fuzes and new 3D rendering of fuze selections.
