Auto Credit Based on Jundroo's Hellkeska
This was a challenge to build a timed fuse bomb without using any flight computer, and I made something that kinda works. I had a few ideas, with this one and another one involving suspensions showing the most promise. Maybe if this gains enough traction I would release the other prototype, which was more reliable but works only at normal speed(slow motion ruins the fuse delay).

@pancelvonat I tried out the P47, it looks quite pretty! The piston works very reliably at striking the fuse, which would be very useful in my proxy air to air missiles

In that design I used a detacher attached to a rocket with 0 fuse delay to trigger the bomb, but occasionally the fusing bugs out and launches the bomb out instead.
I typed out a suggestion to your fuse delay, because currently at high altitudes the bombs will explode mid air.
@pancelvonat Yea that was precisely the idea behind avoiding all kinds of FT, so its extremely easy to add new bombs without any additional coding or adding flight computers to each bomb :)
If you would like to use them feel free to incorporate them to your builds, though a mention would be nice!
@bennyhhy Here's my bomb.
P-47
I approached the system by striking the fuse inside the bullet shell.
These different approaches to the same objective are really interesting.
@bennyhhy Oh man...this is a simple but beautiful technique! It really released the explosive and grounded with a delayed shot! This allows more bombs to be loaded without hesitation.
I love this kind of analog...FT-independent technology!
@pancelvonat There is no FT coding for this, essentially when the bomb hits the ground the piston at the front connected to the bomb breaks, and the bomb drops to the ground which triggers it.
This design removes the need to include a flight computer to every bomb and doing FT code, but tuning the delay requires some trial and error.
How does this work!?!?
I just created a delayed fuse that uses the count of remaining bombs, but it is complicated to set up.
