Sometime, bombs do not "collide" with bridges

[norsetto]

I think I've seen a similar thread few days ago but, for the life of myself, I can't find it anymore; apologies if this has been already reported.

Anyhow, it seems that there is a collision issue between bombs and bridges (or we have dud bombs in il2). Sometime my bomb gets it all right, some other it is going through.

I have a video of my last attempt (p39 on a boat bridge) if this can be helpful?

Sometimes bombs will seem to pass through the object, but usually on replay you will see the impact point. 

Depending on how low you are, how fast you're going, and what fuse you've chosen, the bomb may not have enough time to arm before it hits the ground. If you take at least a 5 second delay fuse on your bombs then they will almost always detonate regardless of height.

Depending on angle they can also skip along water or the ground.

OK, thanks, I don't think I've ever used anything but the default delay. Will try what you suggests since it seems my bombs will rarely detonate (on bridges).
