Didn't the bomb have to be dropped from 25+k in order for it to arm? Meaning you would have to fly for well over an hour just to drop it on on target.

The whines of the dweebs would be priceless when they up that monster and drop it on HQ, only for it not to go off because they were a few thousand feet too low. Remember to account for altitude AGL. ;)
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I say just up a current lanc with 14k of bombs, and if you take a formation you get a whopping 42k of bombs. See no grand slam bomb is needed.  :salute

Ok, we can have this bomb as soon as we get the B29. And just before the nuke.
