Installation:
- Unzip these files into your Il-2 directory.

To remove:
- Delete these files from your Il-2 subdirectories (one solution is to unzip them again to install them overtop of the original files and then hit control+z)

Changes:
(1) Decreases the minimum fusing time for smaller WWI bombs to 0.5 seconds for the British and French and 1.5 seconds for Germany. This makes it much easier to hit small or moving targets. However, it is possible to damage yourself.
(2) This only affects the minimum release altitude. The time-delayed fuses still work (if selected in the arming screen).

Notes:
- Cooper bombs should arm after about 50 feet of flight (and were often dropped at about 100 feet from the target). These bombs were armed by a pinwheel that was rotated 25 times in the airflow before locking in the armed position. Apparently this happened quite quickly (less than half a second).
- French bombs used a similar system and thus are given the same values. However, I have yet to locate any references. If you can find them please share!
- For the P.u.W. 12.5kg bomb had both short and long fuses (these still work). These bombs used centrifugal forces to arm. However, it is unclear how many rotations and what flight times were required to arm. If anyone can find the information - please share! Note: These bombs were used by Poland as well, so that may be an additional source of information.
- An exception is the P.u.W. 50kg bomb which should have either impact fuse (requiring centrifugal forces) or a 90 second fuse that didn't require the bomb to 'spin up' and thus could be used at very low altitudes.

If you have improvements or useful information, please send me a direct message or reply to the appropriate thread on the official forums.
