Where are the bombs?

Yes, if the base has laser or missiles point defence they might attempt to destroy them.
However, the higher the Gs, the faster it falls.
No. No...
You got it all wrong.
It's not a mine. It's a laser guided proximity fused bomb!
I dropped an unguided 105mm shell onto a hovering chopper once. Greatest thing I've seen/done in arma3.
Bombs would be cool, many hoped mines would work this way but unfortunately that's not the case. Edit: apparently they do now so guess bombs won't be needed. I agree laser guided is too easy though.

I can laser designate or select a location for GPS bombs via TGP in DCS, I fail to see the issue here. This would just be an extension of weapon systems today in the future, and we have weapon platforms today that a pilot can designate and release munitions himself. Having multiple systems work together to accomplish the tasking isn't a bad idea. Having an SRV act as a FO could work as long if they could get that work with multicrew implementation.
The problem with free fall and slick bombs, today's general purpose dumb bombs like mk82's is that they're reliant on gravity to work. Gravity varies across the galaxy in ED so realistically the most likely alternative would be an ATGM like a Maverick. Rocket assisted bombs existed/exist IIRC.
All that to say, I don't see a good reason to force multicrew implementation for a weapon. Optional sure, but force no.
Yep, which is why ATGM's would be a better alternative to free fall bombs.
The better question is, why aren't plasma or other type of futuristic bombs implemented since we have planetary/base assault type missions?

Absolutely needed,
'Air' to ground bombs, missiles and maybe a utility hardpoint surface targeting module for allow weapons lock on ground targets

give us back the energy bomb http://wiki.alioth.net/index.php/Energy_Bomb

Well, that would certainly make mining faster.
And more fun. Things are always fun when there's a boom.
grappling hooks and asteroids
F:E2 and FFE both used to have nuclear missiles that you used to bomb enemy bases with.
They were always fun to use.
