Arclight had the same problem. It seemed as if the bomb delay did not work although it was set to 3 seconds. The game doesn't simulate malfunctions like this so maybe there was a lag caused problem that caused the bombs to detonate earlier than they should have.
Or maybe the flak got me directly over the ship, though I find that hard to believe considering that BOTH my wings fell off.
It really looks like a premature detonation of my bombs and I've no real idea how this could happen.
