the Italian IDS is also missing the Kormoran still
I dont know what this has to do with bombs exploding on aircraft, but ok.

Gaijin, please change this. The frequency of occurrence should be 1 in a 1000. Not every battle.

No. It has never been confirmed to have ever happened in reality. Only a War Thunder thing.

They are fine.
While it may be possible for this to happen, in WT it has been waaaaaaaaaaaay overdone and is quite literally gone way past the realm of ridiculous.
If they turned it down by 80% it would still be so far from a “realistic” number of occurrences . .
It’s just too much and nerfs the heck outta bombers which are already on the super weaksauce side of the spectrum as far as planes go anyway.
It’s just unfortunate it was even implemented and even more so at the rate they have it happening in game currently. (Props getting bent back like a banana peel every time you get within 30 - 40 meters of something is a close second tho . . . just give us actual collision mechanics . . you know, two planes collide in air and both fall to the ground 99% of the time . . . “realism”)
It will be nice someday when they address these types of issues, making the game more playable for all players, and not just catering to those that make the most noise . . . which seems fairly common these past few years.

Seems like a fun idea to try at home. I’ll quickly grab a FAB-5000 and an AK-47 to test it out.
It’s not really realistic that bombs explode like they do in War Thunder from being shot
It’s even less realistic that you literally cannot destroy nukes currently. It used to be possible to destroy nukes before they would detonate, but I guess people finally whined enough for Gaijin to remove that mechanic.
Spoiler
People also seem to believe that a nuclear bombs would cause a nuclear explosion when damaged by being shot, which is just flat out false. Depending on the damage the bomb would either cause a much smaller explosion or not explode at all.

Similar but related, ATGMs and rockets also shouldn’t immediately turn to dust if someone sprays a LMG at them. Too many times a slow MCLOS missile is destroyed by top mounted MGs or something. It’s very absurd that missile vehicles can basically be totally shut down by someone paying attention with more than two fast firing MGs.

Bombs or missiles. You need to hit the detonator or set off the booster charge or nothing will happen.
It’s just another „big explosion = dopamin“ mechanic that Gaijin implemented.
It’s much more likely that a shot bomb will be a dud than explode.
