Just had a game where in an AD-2 on Hokkaido bombing the mid base with the 1 2000lbs, 2 1000lbs, and 12 HVARS. Fired off 6 HVARS and dropped the 2000lb bomb. The bomb didn't detonate. Turned around fired the other HVARS and dropped the last 2 bombs. Neither exploded either. Dead on target with a 2-second timer I changed from assault fuse before spawning in. Good ping and Packet loss 0-3%. Anyone else have issues like this?

Happened to me in Air RB in my B-29
happened to me yesterday evening in air RB with my bv238 as well
I think the same thing happened to me when I was flying the 234 C3, I dropped my bombs on a base(2x250 and one 1000) and only the 250s detonated. At the time I thought I had missed the 1000, but now that many have been showing to have experienced the same thing, I think it's indeed a big.
So I wasn't crazy when I was playing on my arado c3 today. Thought I was just fuckin up with the bombing reticle.
A friend of mine who has flown bombers for 4 years and myself who is just starting bombing have consistently noticed that all types of ordinance have been regularly dealing no damage or have completely failed to detonate.
We flew the S.M. 79's out to torpedo bomb and my torpedo just vanished when it impacted the hull of a light cruiser. I was well within the drop speed and height of my torpedo. My friend had been killed by flak so he was watching me in spectator view and he saw the torpedo vanish upon impact. I did not receive a "Torpedo Drowned" message either.
The same day his 2000kg bomb did 0 damage to a land base. I watched it explode in the middle of the base for 0 damage. He dropped it from like 400m too so it was dead accurate. A few matches later I dropped 2 1000lbs bombs on a row of medium tanks from 5000m and I am proud to say that the bombs landed directly in front of the lead tank and it rolled over them before the 2 second delay went off. Only my joy was shattered as the bombs dealt 0 damage and not even a hit was earned. I only cried for 10 minutes.
Gaijin seriously needs to fix ordinance and ship hitboxes. As of now it is confirmed that ships are a loose jumble of rectangular hitboxes with gaps inbetween. You can carpet bomb down a carrier deck and without fail 30% of those bombs will not register hits.
Yes! I was having this problem today too. However it was only happening to me when I had a timed fuze of my bombs. When I switched to assault fuze they were all detonating. Kinda strange.
I think this fix will cause me more tears than actual bug... I am so used to bomb from low pass I can already see me blowing myself to space...
Gonna try it anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Happens to me in my Arado during both Air and ground RB.
Has been happening to me all day. Only about 50% of my bombs detonate at all. I tried using aircraft from different nations but all are glitched.
