I think hitech should put like an atom bomb in the game but it takes like 500 perkies to get, and it could lvl a large base and the town, and any planes in area get disinegrated:D  and the pilot of the bomber gets all the kills :D

I be happy to pay 500 perks for a Tallboy or Grand Slam.  I'd want some escort to get to target though.  

I oppose the atom bomb on the basis of having to fill out all the paper work for environmental impact.  On the other hand, if we did have an atom bomb we should bring back nigh time so we can see troops on the ground glow in the dark.

I like the idea of having a few things to clean out the perk bank.

It would matter if it was supersonic or not.... it still would have been too late.  :D

It's amazing.  

Ya can't kill a ground vehicle with a 75mm AP round.  Ya can't kill a ground vehicle with a 76.2mm AP round.  Ya can't kill a ground vehicle with an 88mm AP round.  

So you gotta go get a box of Lancasters to try it with.  So ya can't kill a ground vehicle with 9, 1000lbs. bombs.  Ya can't kill a ground vehicle with a 4000lbs. bomb.  Ya can't even kill a ground vehicle with three planes with a combined load of 39,000lbs. of bombs.  So, you want a BIGGER BOMB?!??!??  :O    :rofl

I was thinking Grandslam.......Tank Town........you do the math. :t

Which is probly why it will never be allowed to join the game.

Yeah....a couple of hundred feet or so was a bit much but I was going from memory.

I was thinking more from the stand point of terror, much like the V2, about your day being over without ever hearing the shot.

The main difference is: The Grand Slam and Tallboys were actually useful, being able to hit specific targets.

With the V2, you are actually lucky to hit even a city. Not very efficient in military terms.

The 12,000lb High Capacity bomb would actually be better for destroying cities, thats what it was designed for.  The tallboy was an AP bomb designed for killing the Tirpitz (which it did).

Think of them in terms of tank shells, the HE shell is the 12k cookie whereas the tallboy/grandslam would be like an AP round.  (not to say a Grand Slam wouldnt destroy a town - i don't know if it was ever used in that role).

Think of the mess a Grand Slam would do on a HQ ;)
