Good day, guys
Certain planes have minimum and/or maximum altitudes allowed, level flight for at least 3 waypoints before bombdrop, and not be directly threatened by nearby enemy aircraft in order to make a horizontal (level) bomb run.
For example, if nearby terrain causes the aircraft to adjust altitude or course during the bomb run, then that's a no drop of bombs.
Also, having turns in the bomb run within three waypoints might cause a no drop.
In real life, if the crosswind is too strong, then no drop, but I have not discovered if IL-2 1946 has this factored, too.
Much of this is in the Stock or Mod READ-ME file.
I hope that his helps.
