Dambuster for lancaster

[Motherland]

I can see it now. Maps with dams and multiple strats to flood. Almost kinda like having nukes. The gnashing and wailing would be intolerable. Almost enough to make me an advocate. But not quite.

Again ..... no dam busting in Spain. That's the country south of France. The time .... 1938. Uberbipes, faster than most of the bombers then .... and there. A dogfighter paradise.

I'm sorry .... I've deviated to something that might be a tad bit more practical yet still a hard sale to pitch.

I16's vs 109C's and Ar68's.... *drools at mouth*

Just for the record, I believe these were also referred to as "Bouncing Bettys".

bouncing bettys are land mines.

You're going to have to reference something other than wikipedia before you convince me.  By the way....nice avatar

When the brithish invented this bomb for destroying german dambs they soon used it to take out ships as well, this bomb is a bomb shaped like a can and contains a large amount of explosives when droped at low alt it would skip across the sea until it hit its targets or sunk. You may thinkthis would make it too easy to kill cvs but remember, a slow and big lancaster at low alt woul be vonerable to fighters and anti-air.

Yeah, we should definitely add these to the game because, you know, we definitely have dams in this game.

Theirs no dam's in the game. Why even post a topic about something we don't even have.

[panzerr]

He was suggesting it in the context of using it to sink CV's.

[Arlo]

I vote we model torpedos. Wait ....

Spain .... think of sunny Spain. Senioritas. Vino. Food with lots of olive oil that gives your Yankee digestive system shock.

[zoozoo]

but there no dams to blow up 

[Anaxogoras]

We already have dive bombing Lancasters that sink carriers.

If it were perk ordinance it could be ok.

similar names but a big differance in what they actually are... bouncing bettys shot up and exploded at waist height, slicing you in half.
a bouncing bomb is a frikin barrel full of bombs, its even more fun than a barrel of monkeys!!!!

There was another version of the bouncing bomb called 'Highball' which could be dropped from a Mosquito and IIRC were made for the anti shipping role - don't think they ever saw service though.

And the nickname for the Bouncing Bomb was 'Upkeep'
