happens quite often since a few months - hitted bombs even show up in the killfeed!
Its quite annoying when your plane was already doomed but you are happy to drop the bomb and then it doesn’t make damage to the enemy. Even bombs in the bomb bay were hit rather frequently

Honestly I kinda like the ability to destroy bombs, I once was firing at a Lancaster in the M163 and hit his bomb that was headed right towards my teammates on A. I like the ability to combat CAS like this, especially against Pe-8s and Lancasters. I do think the nuke shouldn’t be able to be shot down however, I’ve also never had someone shoot mine down to my knowledge, but I primarily play low tier and fly lower when bombing.

I think Gaijin might have upped the size of their hitboxes alongside the killfeed. They did these mainly to combat things like the Kh-38s and other guided weapons but it’s really nice even in lower tiers.

my experience is mainly from naval arcade where planes have a very difficult business (ai AA is insane) - therefore its much more frustrating if the bomb finally dropped was destroyed previous to impact

Oooo okay, I’m not one to speak on naval bombing as I’ve never bombed nor been bombed in the gamemode but I do know the pain of flying a plane in that mode. It’s a lot better in ground imo
