I'd like to see them in the modified B1 or B2 Lanc (forget which it was) as a HUGE perk option.  500-1000 perks and no formation probably isn't far off what it would need to be.

This is essentially what the modification looked like to carry the Grand Slam:

I like it too.. Single plane only... 
Use it something like this?   Normal Buff raid comes in 10k or so, occupying the defenders... While a few of the "special lanks" sneak in fast at 20K, and EARTHQUAKE the whole field... Flattening mass hngrs w each blast... Blowin up planes taking off in midair... Rackin up 10 flaks sitting on the field... DED! DED! DED!

It better cost MASS perks!!!

Single lanks would be the most hunted targets in the game....

But, If ya used them sneaky, they'd be a nasty suckerpunch...
You'd HEAR the hearts of steadfast defenders breaking... With each blast...

617 squadron was not the only bomber squadron to carry Tallboys.......

IX squadron also carried them and indeed has its own version of the Tirpitz story. Suffice to say IX squadron was somewhat disgruntled withthe media image given to the glory boys of 617.
