I am releasing this as a prototype for a delayed FUSE. If the bomb is used 10 seconds after spawn, it activates a timed fuse that detonates 5 seconds after release. This bomb has a little durability against crashing into the ground and will hopefully burst behind you.

    Nice P47 build! A suggestion would be instead of using a set time fuse of 5 seconds, to have the piston trigger after you can confirm the bomb has completely dropped to the ground.
    You can do that using your plane's altitude above ground and its vertical speed, assuming no air resistance. Distance=vertical speed * time+0.5*9.81 *time^2. You would need to solve this equation to find the time, and add a few seconds to programme the delay fuse.
