correct as is AI SPITFIRE BOMBS NOT DETONATING

[Rene Coulon]

I have tested the AI Spitfire on both the Channel and Normandy maps , different heights, bomb loads.

The bombs do Not explode.

With the exact same ME settings, the other WW2 aircraft all drop and their bombs explode.

Thanks 

some observations form your mission setup 

the task for dropping bombs is to close to the initial waypoint, they will need to go around to complete a drop. 

It maybe best to use carpet bomb task in this scenario 

with mixed bomb loads the AI will only drop one type, it can not drop mixed bomb types. 

 

The fuse settings in your mission were set to 0.5 h so there was a delay in the explosion, if you for example select 0 for nose and plugged for tail they will explode straight away. 

 

take a look at this example

I have tried every possible trick.

 

The AI Spitfires bomb do not explode, no matter what

I test them on the last open beta version, and working as 250 lbs and 500 lb bombs without problems, with the Bignewy fuze configuration.

Please post a track so people have some sort of a starting point for offering advice.

Hi,

Thank you for the Help.

I learn something every day ! I had no idea the the small orange Triangle let me go to the Pylon and make changes.

Thanx again...was a serious head scratch for days...lol

This thread is a duplicate of this one, which found an answer:

Wouldn't it make sense to set tail fuse as "plugged" by default then?

Is there a detailed explanation about what those fuse options mean and do? I can't find anything about bombing in the Spitfire manual at all.

[grifnizzle]

So does tail fuze HAVE to be plugged? I haven't had a chance to retest yet but I've been having problems with Spit bombs as well, not AI, player (me) released.

I updated my thread, plugging tail fuze gave 100% detonation rate. Still curious if that's "accurate" or not but for now good enough for me

Currently the bombs I drop myself (both 250 and 500lb) fail to detonate, regardless of fuse setting. Did anything change in the last update? Anyone else experiences this?

[DD_wingflyr]

Yes, the ww2 bird bombs are not exploding. We (As my flight group) tried all kinds of fuse setting, also the standard plugged tail, with the Spits, P51s, and the P47 Jugs. Could the new all round fuse update caused the ww2 birds to be effected. Rockets still work wonderful. Also we removed all mods upon testing ,due to their nature of creating issues at times. Were trying to get to the bottom of this, but no result so far.

They will work if you set the nose and tail fuses to the same delay, but if you leave one or the other 'plugged' nothing goes boom.

Thanks that worked.

Funny because before the update it was the reverse was true, nose fused and tail plugged = BOOM.

If this is true  I wish this was mentioned in the update because it tends to lead,  thinking its a bug, oh well thanks kindly for your reply CH.

[Cool-Hand]

Yeah I'd definitely lean more towards it being a bug as well. No problem!
