is it possible to go lower than 200? I bet some of them came under 100ft. Some of the bombs in San Carlos were dropped so low that the fuse didn't have enough time to arm.

In the attack against the HMS Antelope the pilot (Luciano Guadagnini) who dropped the bombs that hit her, was also hit by AAA just an instant later and crashed against the Vessel antennas, which destroyed his aircraft. Both boms didn´t explode. That shows how low he was flying.

I just started runing the Sea of Fire scenario, and set the A4s altitude at 20 mts. So you can set a very low flying altitude in Command.

Wow I didn't know he hit the ships antennas.

Ah good news Abbeville, 20m sounds much better than 200m running towards a destroyer/frigate all alone.

If I recall they didn't have time to arm because of how low they were.

One bomb got stucked in the ship, and exploded while being defused, which in the end, doomed the HMS Antelope.
After a few attacks like this one, the big bombs were exchanged to 250kg to ensure they would detonate.
It appears there was a abig number of bombs that didnt explode.
Command makes you release a 1000 lb bombs at 300 mts at least

Although one should be able to release bombs at very low altitude for example with MK.82 Snakeyes

Thanks I'll need comrades to help me [:D]

Hey Abbeville even in 1982 a tremendous amount of luck was required to fly from the Argentine mainland, find a couple rusty ships, fly the last few kilometres total exposed, being a real candidate for fish food, while you have pesky Seawolf and Seadarts trying to spoil your day. Then travelling at 500 kts 300 feet off the water drop a bomb onto a hunk of steel(aluminum)130 x 14 metres. It aint gunna happen on your first try, or even second third or forth. But once you succeed, life feels good [:D]

Another thing, its fine to run low, but keep in mind the release envelope for each weapon, I think 1000 and 500 are slightly different
