Big BOmb

[Raider179]

Hey any chance of making that tall boy bomb an extra perk for the Lancaster?

[Tilt]

The neat thing about the Tallboy and its big brother the Grandslam is that to operate properly as an "earthquake" bomb it had to be dropped from over 18K above its target................

Infact the two squadrons issued with the modified lancs for use with the Tallboy (617 and 9 squadron) both also carried out raids below that height but at reduced effectiveness. (Still a 12000lb bomb tho!!)

I would love to see it. However we do not have perked loadouts so Pyro would have to add another Lancaster with a bulged bomb bay(perked) which had this unique loadout.

Even given this it would be correct to implement the required drop height for full effectiveness (linking the zone of damage to the drop altitude) which I fear would require resources that are (according to Pyro) now being diverted to TOD.

Babooooooom! Oh yeah I love the idea of a grand slam or tall boy. That would be a larf.

We need someone besides the 234 to spend those bomber perks on. I wouldnt mind dropping from 18k sounds good. All the fighter jocks get what they want. how bout something to please the bomber crowd.

i would luv to see a "Dam Buster" bouncing bomb...Have a dam placed next to a HQ(or a city)...if you make it in in a low slow lanc,at the right speed/alt..assuming ack doesn't tear ya to shreds..

a sucessful drop floods and wipes out HQ/city

make it hard to do

it shure wood be fun..

whattya guys think?

Lets just cut to the chase,

the WWII bomber that gets every bomber type panting hard



      B-29

Double bomb bays with enough bombs to remove anything off the face of the map.

Computer controled guns

4 50s top forward 2 50s lower forward
2 50s top aft  2 50s lower aft
2 50s and a 20mm tail guns

Range for missions from one corner to the other on the map and return.


How about a B-25 gunship with 12 50s in the nose and a bay load of parafrag bombs

How about a B-25 with a 75mm, I would love to kill a few tanks with one pass

Sadly we won't see the b29 for a very long time, even though I think it's the perfect choice for a perk bomber.

Also the guns weren't computer controlled, they were guided by the aide of a computer gunsight system but gunners still controlled them.
