None of them, they drop but no boom boom.

I'm using HSFX.7.something with 4.12.whatever, there's no key binding I can see for "arm bombs". I've found one for "change fuze settings" or something but that does nothing at all.

Can anyone help me please?

the bombs have to arm before they hit, I usually just use instant. If you are too low and the time to arm is too long you'll just bury them.

Funny, I was using a 500Kg bomblet dispenser earlier. All it had in the way of fusing was "Air burst" and I gave it a 3 second delay. That one got buried too. RIP

So there's no "Master Arm" switch, just bad technique on my part?

I don't remember of "master arm" or "bomb arm" switch in il-2:46 - can be added by MOD's - but if you drop bombs to low (after 4.10) they dont have time to arm be that spinning vane.

Might help:

Our online group has had this problem too.

Sometimes they don't go off at all and sometimes the delay fails and they blow-up right under your tail with disappointingly predicable results.

1) there is a minimum drop height for different bombs - hit the TAB to get HUD info on the one you are dropping in game.
2) check your delay settings - check every time. Check again. Sometimes the ghost in the machines changes the settings on you.
3) under difficulty settings - weapons section, check the "bomb fuzes" check-button. Try it on, try it off.
4) some other forum post suggested that tests of the Russian bombs have shown that the time the fuse needs to arm the bombs can be influenced by the delay timer setting. If you want to drop bombs at very low altitude you have to select a delay of 5 seconds or more. This should solve the problems when doing low level attacks.

I hope this helps.

Thanks guys, I didn't know about the TAB menu thing. That should be the answer.

It also depends on whether or not the server/host has enabled the Bomb Fuzes difficulty switch in the "Weapons and Stores" area. If it is disabled, turned off, you are using the original old style of bombs that don't use fuzes. Other things that can impact your play are the "new" Fragile Torpedoes and Realistic Rocket Spread difficulty switches in the Weapons and Stores area.

Yep, I was dropping outside parameters. The tab menu tips seem to have solved my problems. Thanks all.
