Make it so bombs don’t pass through tanks

Anyone who has a decent amount of piloting experience in this game knows the pain of getting a direct hit on a tank with a bomb but then having to look back and watch as said tank lives. Often with smaller bombs, getting a direct hit can be mitigated by a tank by simply moving, which kinda defeats the purpose of using a plane at all.

The simple solution is to make it so bombs impact tanks, like they should considering they’re both tangible objects. No longer shall pesky tanks escape the grasp of death because they’re capable of pressing W on a keyboard or pushing a joystick forward.

If a pilot is skilled enough to hit a tank on the forehead with a bomb, then that pilot should be rewarded with the clemency that the bomb will be sticking to that tanks forehead while the fuse ticks down.

It’s also frustrating that you can’t put bombs through horse stable roofs, or even buildings with half the roof missing.

a direct hit should be a kill on impact, imo. anything like 100lbs moving at near terminal velocity should be functionally killing the vehicle struck, before it even explodes

But half the fun is giving the tank those few moments of tranquility before the bomb detonates.

Bombing is completely bugged.
Yesterday I helped a player on Reddit who didnt understand what happened with his bomb.
Here is what happened:

Mosquito bomb 500lb direct hit on Tiger II:

Bomb passes through the tank like a knife through soft butter, tank starts to drive forward, bomb stays hanging still in the air:

Bomb just hangs in the air and explodes when the tank is already too far away:

BTW @Myrm1don made a topic about this problem some time ago.
I posted a video about this problem.
It’s just terrible that this still happens.
I (try to) bomb tanks every day…often not succesful…now we know why

This pic is from 2 years ago.
1000lb bomb stuck in tank like it should.
I dont know if it’s because of the ‘softer’ tank or if they changed something in how the bomb react when hitting a tank.

its tank game they can doge bombs like in the matrix xD

Good to hear the problem was already ignored once. I’d prefer if they fixed this with an instant detonation on contact, too.

This one is funny too.
250 kg bomb vs. IS-2 (1944)
During bomb practice I got a hitmarker but no kill so I checked it out.
Direct hit on the tank, bomb went straight through the tank and exploded next to it.
The tank only suffered a damaged barrel and track.
