On IL2 it doesn't matter how close to the water you are; you can skim even the largest bomb. Try taking an SC1800 towards a battle ship, dive in, fly a few feet above the water, drop it, and climb lik hell! It'll skim, and often it hits the side of the ship (although occasionally it doesn't skim far enough, and other times it bounces over the bow!) I'm far more likely to hit a ship like that, than to propperly dive with a stuka.

Nb I haven't tried the fatman 21Kton nuclear bomb from the B29 silverplate, but i bet it'd work anyhow!
