Iron Bombs hits surface of water and does not sink
-
Hello,
When you’re flying 1000 kph at 30 feet or lower and drop your bombs they do not sink when they hit the water and yes it hits and rises.
This video shows how the Argentines in the Malvinas War hit the English ships with this effect.Does this physical effect occur in BMS?
Thanks

I’d hazard the guess this would depend on the fuzing, IRL.
-
Yes.

Do you mean something like Kurt bomb or bounching bomb or do you just want to hit ships with unarmed big rocks?

Is filled with Air not with explosives .

Try flushing a couple of times

As I know bouncing effect is not modelled in any flight sim. It is way too rare thing to spend any resource on it. Any modeling would be just mimicking the effect.

Actually, IL-2 has skip-bombing modelled.
AFAIK it has been concidered an effecitive alternative to dive-bombing in “the old days”. -
I meant the fly low undetected.

This skip-bombing effect is existing in old IL-2 and in the newer IL-2 Cliffs of Dover too. Quite common attack mode against tanker ships if the pilots can’t aim from high
Btw it Working on the ground too, if you drop bomb with very low angle, it will bounce away (if the fuse delay set to long), then explode (this was an attack tactic IRL too, drop small 50kg bombs to tanks from sideways, hoping their track will destroy). -
Il-2 isn’t the only sim that modeled skip bombing. Even old WarBirds 2.77 had that (although you might have needed a special bomb made for use in that manner). It’s not common in flight sims in general, I would assume, as many AG bombing modes and practices are not as well understood as they ought to be. Heck, most WWII sims use fixed gunsights when the Allies very often used gyro sights!
…I did see parts of some of those documentaries from the Argentine perspective - too bad they’re not commonly in English (although the subtitles on YT worked fairly well). One problem they did in fact have was that the fuzing often did not work, because the bombs had not been airborne long enough for the safety device to spin itself off. The RN would have been in even more trouble if that was not the case!

Yes indeed, the British recognized that lot of their ships had been perforated by unexploding bombs.- Having exploded all of them, the fate of the war would had been very diferent.-

No, I mean the physical effect of water at great speeds is a concrete wall. If you drop a bomb in level flight at 1000kph at 30 feet the bomb hits the water and kicks like the DumBuster bombs thrown by the Lancaster bombings in WWII.
It does not have to do with the fuse but with the effect of ricocheting in the water, on the ground this also occurs but the fuse has more effect and the bomb ends up exploding. When you strafe the ground depending on the angle the cannon bullets strike the ground or water rise.
In this video of course the A4 launch the Bomb they kick on water and hit the Conventry.
In this video at 1:28 you can see this effect with bullets from an M61, it’s a BMS Mod
Here is the same case of the Argentine Air Force attack on the Conventry only on land, with the Napalm fuse it explodes but continues to kick the ground. You see more this effect in 0:06, 2:18
It would have to do a physical study on this effect and evaluate the fuses of the bombs yes, the Argentine air force used fuses in the bombs by time and this gave them chance to kick in the water and hit the ships.

Yes, have this factor too. But with you ajust the fuze this phisics occour?

Thi is outher exemple of skip bombing
In 3:50 this video show a Broadsowrd hit a bomb, and this bomb exit in flight deck and cut off a nose this Lynx Helicopter
