in war thunder there is a setting to choose how long you want to wait after the bomb to hit the ground before it explodes buuuuut…
In Enlisted you cant why, you already have to much time to find cuvor by finding close houses, mounds, diches and by proning

Drop them from 1000m and they explode instantly on impact.
Very practical and well thought from DF side.
Actually (somewhat) historically accurate, as bombs often had two stage fuses, akin to time delayed (or altitude activated) impact fuses, or something like this. It basically requires the bomb to travel for some time before it truly armed, as a safety measure against planes being caught by their own bombs in low altitude bombing.

Afaik bomb fuses were used for bombs that enter buildings.
So they dont explode on the roof but fall through it, the delay causes detonation inside the building, killing the occupants.
I really wish we had instantly exploding bombs in this game.
We need bombs against infantry and tanks, we dont need fuse delay.
In fact, it is counter productive.
2 x 500 lb bombs land next to stationary tank:
Tanker is like, yeah ok whatever dude, nice try, just let me casually drive away really slow:
Edit: well now I remember that the delay is also there to protect the plane from bombing itself.
Recently I was bombed to death at 125m altitude while chasing an enemy plane!
Yet there is something to be improved when tanks can just drive away from my bombs…
