Re: Stukas and HMS Illustrious.
Hello Birgir
Quote:"But is the assumption valid that a bomb released in a dive has lower impact velocity than a bomb dropped from level flight?"
To my understandig the assumption is valid, bomb is more solid than a/c, so it has more mass per given frontage so it accelerates better. And to increase even more the difference in acceleration, bomb doesn't have dive brakes.
