Blitzen Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 ( Before I go on :Yes I do activate bomb arming switch...) On several recent missions when I've had to bomb something in either CloD or DWT I've seen my bombs not explode.Notably in a Campaign CloD mission when hitting an English airfields I watch a formation of Do-17s which proceeded my Bf-110 bomber attack ,drop numerous bombs on said airfield & not one exploded.When my flight of 110's did the same & again not one bomb went off ,I felt I had to write. I might add that I have watched AI bombs go off in other SM's so this could have been an AI aberration, but that doesn't explain why my bombs with hit a hanger dead on did not explode...does someone need to send a complaint to the factory? Oh yes AI torpedoes do seem to work, but mine don't..of course this may be my own fault from dropping them too high or too fast in a momrny of panic?

When you build a mission with AI aircraft bombing, you need to make sure the AI bombs are set and their fuses too.

If you can specify which missions and campaigns and post on the Single Player forum, then we could hopefully get the mission builders to look at them.
Blitzen Posted February 20, 2021 Author Posted February 20, 2021 This happened in the second or third mission of the Luftwaffe Campaign that features at least initially Bf-110’s .The mission involves bombing and strafing RAF airfields . For some reason the Do-17’s go in first (??) and our group with bomb equipped 110’s .The Do-17’s hit the airfield dead on, but none of their bombs explode. I armed my bombs and tried to hit the hangers again with no explosions. I didn’t see what my squadron mates did but the airfield was un damaged . We were unopposed by the RAF until after the raid when a few Spitfires were involved in an uninspired defense. I hope this helps. I wish I could re-fly the mission but after getting credit for several victories I moved on to the next mission which is on tap for today. I could of course try to find a CloD SM that features bombing something and seeing if “Bomb Arming” works?
