Blenheim MKI mine drop

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:Microsoft XBOX One
Please specify your platform model. Microsoft Xbox One X
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen? DICE server
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 31.05.2019
Summarize your bug It is not possible to drop single mines or mines in clusters with the Blenheim MKI mine drop specilization. When dropping mines with the Blenheim MKI you always drop all 12 mines by pressing the drop button. Normal bombs can be dropped one by one if you tap the button. So what needs to be changed is that mines needs to be dropped in cluster by holding the button short or tapping the button when dropping single mines or just all when holding the drop button.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play with the Blenheim MKI mine drop specialization.
What happens when the bug occurs? All 12 mines get dropped when pressing the drop button.
What should be happening instead? Not all 12 mines should be dropped when pressing the drop button, but the amount you want to drop.

The specialization was always like this but this way the specilization is not usefull. You have no control over your drop and the kills you make are less instead of having the option to drop single mines or more. Now the right three of the Blenheim MKI feels underpowered. Also the ammo and health drop are not the usefull because if you want the mine specilization you need to stay on the right side of the three. By changing the mines and giving you more control the blemheim has a more powerful support role.

    I don't get the design choice that you can't choose how many mines you want to drop with the Blenheim so you drop them al. The butterfly bombs from the JU-88 you can choose not to drop them all at once. This makes the Blenheim specialization so uncontrollable, it should as stated above be possible that you drop as many as you want so you can drop in different areas like with the butterfly bombs. Please change this feature to make the Blenheim a better choice against tanks.

    @Marcusspinner 

    This was an interesting historical piece taken from the Blehnheim via wikipedia.

    "A 1,000 lb (450 kg) bomb load could be carried in the internal bomb bay set into the center section of the fuselage. Like most contemporary British aircraft, the bomb bay doors were kept closed with bungee cords and opened under the weight of the released bombs. Because there was no way to predict how long it would take for the bombs to force the doors open, bombing accuracy was consequently poor. The bomb bay could be loaded using a hand-operated winch incorporated into the fuselage."

    BFV is not aiming to be 100% historically accurate, but I suppose the current design does reflect why they would drop all at once since it was held by an unpredictable bungee cord.

    It's the same on the stukka it drops all mines and if you don't fly exactly straight you get killed.
