@Marcusspinner Moved your post from the Bug Reports to Game Information for discussion around it's design.
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.
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.
