...parafrag bombs!!!!!! deth to the gvs    ////

[beau32]

I agree. Parafrag bombs would be great. doing a low level high speed bombing mission droping little parachutes of death on the gv's.

[Widewing]

Parafrags would be useless against armor. They are basically anti-personnel weapons that are effective against soft targets.

These are essentially Mk41 20lb frag bombs fitted with small parachutes. They would be effective against jeeps, but less so against halftracks and the Ostwind. They could disable exposed guns on these, but don't expect any serious damage to tanks.

My regards,

ok so why is it a La-7 drops a 100lb. bomb 40 yard from a panzer and it kills it?

or a 500lb. bomb from a P-38 dropped less than a 1,000 feet up and over 100 yards away still kills tanks and osti's but yet you dont think a para frag would do any damage???????

please enlighten me sir.

5x as potent?

I'd guess even more, maybe like 10x...

The 100lbs bomb is a HE bomb, which means somewhat like 50lbs of HE explosive.

A parafrag bomb is meant to damage soft targets with fragments, so it has a much thicker sleeve and less explosive filling per lbs bomb wheigt.

So in comparison to the LA-7 bombs the blast is really puny. And those 1" fragments bounce harmlessly off any armor.

well at least it would be a fun distraction maybe some tiny tims would be better

That's a 100 kilogram bomb from the La-7....

I think you are exaggerating some...

I've never gotten a bomb kill on a tank without putting the bomb within one or two lengths of the tank.

Sax, I will beat you if you give us another essay on the Tiny Tims.

Don't you have enough different ways already to kill GV's???   You have to dream up even more?

Does no one want to ever give the GV crowd a break??

[moot]

There's no such thing as too much firepower, or too many ways to kill red guys.

well there addin the new gvs  other than bombin the werbilwin cuss i suck at that id rather think of some easyer way:rofl ///:cry  lol

Actually I'd settle for delayed fuze bombs for the B25's and 26's so we could do some true low level runs.

Parafrags as noted above were really not designed to be effect against hardened targets.

But 500lb bombs with delayed fuzes so you could drop at 200 feet and not blow yourself up. Now those would be handy at times.

A bomber with one maybe could de-ack a town
