Gaijin can it with the bombs clipping thru the jet wings

[Boii Fan]

Im not sure when it happened but for the past few weeks most bombs clips thru the wings and instead of dropping they just hang on your wings and land god knows where.

you know you just can't drop bombs at any old angle you want. They prefer somewhat flat and level cause you can kind of toss bombs but it is not always a good idea.
But without a replay no one can say anything

Buccaneers suffer heavily from that, i drop a bomb from the bomb bay and it just flies over its fuselage and if i dip even slightly bomb can get stuck on the plane

when you drop a bomb the bomb is moving at the same speed as your aircraft if you reduce speed the bomb is now moving faster then you are. This issue was first discovered with aircraft firing guns where the projectiles were faster then the aircraft (you could shoot yourself down)

usually i would go at a 45 degree or similar, drop the brakes or get the speed to under 1.0 mach so the bombs can be dropped, then i press space to drop them and immediately point the nose of the plane up. as i do that, the bombs just clip thru the wings, and rest on the wings, eventually falling off them and landing like its american paratroopers in D day.

You just explained it. You drop a bomb going 100mph and then raise nose to go 80 mph and wonder how the bomb catch you (the numbers are just for reference nothing to do with actual numbers in flight)
In future keep your nose down and turn maintaining speed remember the bombs are going the same speed as your aircraft so if you turn in front of them they will hit you

thats not the issue with buccaneers, the jet drops its bombs upwards, literally bombs clip through the jet into the air instead of actually dropping them downwards

i only encountered this issue with buccaneer, other planes or jets collide with their bombs as soon as they drop it

[mogami_99]

OK before I try it I will withdraw Once again a post where a replay would go very far to helping the forum understand the post

[karabaş 🐕‍🦺]

well, its not just buccaneer, bombs have no collision for the first 2-3 seconds when you drop them and in the meanwhile if you dive after you drop them they just noclip through you

tried it with a few other jets and planes, on the goodside i can juggle bombs on my wings now

[mogami_99]

h = (1/2)gt^2 is the constant. The bombs initial velocity is the speed of the aircraft releasing them. The vector would be where the bomb and the plane intercept. So the trick would be to get off the path of the bomb. If the plane maintains a steady speed and course the bombs should fall beneath it. What we need are replays where this is not the case.
I am not saying things are working correctly only with out replays I can't say anything
gravity should take effect the instant the bombs are released. And we know the rate objects fall (they all fall the same) so the distance the bomb falls can be computed and what we want to avoid is where the releasing aircraft intercepts the bomb.
It sounds like the aircraft are taking evasive maneuvers and still meeting the bombs
Now we have to figure out if these are the correct maneuvers
If the bomber increases speed and turn it should avoid contact while knowing the falling bomb is also increasing speed. (this is actually very interesting)
I have flown pretty much nothing but bombers for 5 years and never encountered this issue. But then I am a slow flying level bomber pilot. I release bombs and then start my turn for home.
Are these normal bombs? or do they have some special guidance features? (that would inhibit air resistance or something) (what do they call them retarded bombs?)

you aren't helping and respectfully you seem to have no clue how dropping bombs work.

Yea sorry Mogami, but they got a point

Well I did say I would really need a replay otherwise just guessing.
