i just noticed that bomb series got set amount of bombs and you can’t choose your own amount (e.g. i got 4 bombs and i want to drop 2 at the same time but i can only drop 1 or 4 using bomb series) is it due to the historical thing about the plane or just Gajin’s choice?
Its Gaijin lazyness. Both bomb series and ripple quantity exists and they have different availabe settings. Its really annoying
If you set a keybind for ripple quantity instead, you can select 2x bomb drop. The advantage of ripple is that you can adjust it on the fly, and not on the spawn page, which gives you loads more flexibility. I want them to improve it greatly. But nothing in years (Suggestion)
My guide for CCRP, but will cover things like setting up bomb release using weapon selection and ripple quantity

Set a keybinds for:
- Fire secondary weapons
- Switch Secondary wepaons
- Secondary weapon ripple quantity
Pressing the switch secondary weapons will cycle through all weapons you have on your aircraft and can be fired using the fire secondary weapon keybind.
With bombs selected, you can press the secondary weapon ripple quantity button and it will cycle through available modes (2, 4, 8, 16, S). When you have selected the mode you want, press the fire secondary weapon and it will drop the desired number of bombs. S will release weapons so long as you press and hold.
This also works with rockets.

I noticed that some planes even when you hit spacebar once it drops 2 at the time, is it a realistic historical feature or what?
Yes, that is based upon historical accuracy though im sure many are in-accurate. Its to do with maintaining airframe balance. Dropping a bomb from 1 side but not the other can cause a major imbalance that can make it impossible to fly, so both a dropped at the same time.
