I dont know if this consists of one of the unspoken areas of modding as it discusses mods to weapons but here goes: Has anyone considered a Mod that changes the bomb and torpedo arming system that IL2 currently used? One failing of IL2 is that dead mens bombs do no damage. This is especially bad for torpedoes due to the often long travel time and the fact that most torp bombers are death traps! There is nothing worse than dropping a bomb or torp only to be taken out by the enemy and to watch that bomb/torp hit the target and do no damage. This also stops the Ohka being used properly online.
My suggestion would be to have a mod that makes it so that the bomb is armed once it has left the aircraft. This means that flying your plane (i.e. Kamikaze style) into a target wont result in an explosion otherwise everyone will be doing it (or as an alternative have this a server side setting so that it can be enabled if the map makers wish). This would mean that even if you are shot down after bomb or torp release, they wont suddenly disarm themselves in an infuriating manner!
Or would this seemingly simple request be actually difficult to enable due to how IL2 works (also would you get postumous points?).
