That might explain why devs made destroyed planes to always explode in the air in SH5. That limitation was removed by TheDarkWraith with one of his hardcoded patches, but I wonder if anyone has ever made extensive tests on aircraft sinking dynamics since the release of that patch

Try both to reduce and increase it please, and see if it makes any difference.

If you are talking about a wartime US training film on air torpedoes, then we have probably watched the same video

You must be talking about bouncing bombs

Air torpedoes were subject to the same problem. I don't think they could bounce back against their dropper, but IIRC their tendency to ricochet once they touched the sea surface, affected negatively their depth control system.

Nice screenie, but I think that Swordfish has missed the right timing to release his fish
