I think the one on the right is the American versions of the Grand Slam? (T-12?)  It has less girth :)

I thought the british Grand Slam and Fat Boy were more shorter and fatter, can any brit plane (Or any plane) even carry that?

Beat the Dora railroad gun (80 cm shell) The Schwerer Gustav 80cm was used but I am sure we wont get it





Anyways. Wow that bomb is big :O  :noid

But I doubt the release of it, "Nothing over 4,000 lb's" according to HTC

NO, NO, NO, and last and not least NO. HTC said no bomb bigger than the 4k bomb will be release. not now, not ever... maybe in 20 years.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

You mean Grand Slam and Tallboy.

That one on the left looks like a Grand Slam.  Lancasters were the only aircraft to carry them operationally.

yes the Lancaster carried the 12k tallboy, and the 24k Grand slam...
Both were used during the war...
There wouldn't be a real "Bang", just an incredible shaking, enough to shake your teeth out!!!! At least thats what they were designed to do....
Have you seen the video of the tallboys that were dropped on the Tirpitz, incredible video... One of the tallboys went right thru the battleship, and exploded deep in th bottom of the fjord, blew the ships seams out... Tirpitz go blub blub blub!!!

And yes the 800cm railgun was used during WW2... I'm not sure which one, I think it was "Dora", was used during the seige of Sevastapol....
There is video of that as well, arial movies taken from a fieseler storch...
Impressive movie... Shell impacts, on the city... WOW, easy 300ft blasts...
And monster craters...

Then there is Vid of tallboys dropped on Uboat pens in Bremen....
Along with damage vids of the 24ft thick roofs.... Geez, I've never seen so much rebar in my life in that concrete...

You say not ever, then why did you say "Maybe in 20 years"?
