Small suggestion: Tool tips for Russian bomb detonation delay

Suggestion:  Hover-over tool tips for Russian (or any that apply) bomb detonation delay settings and minimum drop altitude for each setting.   

 

Improvement:  Options such as "contact", "1second" and "3 seconds"  would be more viable options for mission planning and type of attack intended to be carried out.  

 

As it stands, most players that do low altitude attacking set the delay to "5 seconds" as they do not know the minimum drop altitude for other settings.  I believe that this often times results in unintentional "skip" bombing.

Even level bombers tend to forget that "contact", "1second" and "3 seconds" are all probably all better options for mid-to-high altitude bombing.  A lot of times high-alt bombers will leave the bombs set at "5 seconds" in case they need to change to a dive-bomb attack.  If the minimum drop altitude was known for each setting, then higher altitude, higher angle dive-bomb attacks would be more viable.  This should be safer for the plane and have a lesser chance of unintentional "skip" bombing or "too low duds".

Oh, how many times have I dropped hopefully, just to drop a perfect line of duds.

That would be amazing to have in the sim!
