Kids today! Why can't they fetishize Fascist military hardware like normal people?

Ladysmith wants you forthwith to come to her relief
Burn your briefs you leave for France tonight
Carefully cut the straps of the booby-traps and set the captives free
But don't shoot 'til you see her big blue eyes

Cit,
Did the P-38 ever actually carry 2 2000lb bombs on strike missions?

If so, wow.

Tigers? why not just use a springfield? 2000 lb seems like overkill.

There are some gun camera films from the 357 where two P-51's drop their single thousand pounders (other pylon had a DT) and watched as it bounced off the Tiger and wasted a small hotel next to it. Tiger survived unscathed from both bomb blasts.

C Yeager mentions it in his book, Anderson has also recalled that particular mission  

Besides the trick would be to knock out a platoon of Tigers with one good drop

Didn't they also use those 2000lb bombs on the rides with that glass nosed P-38 which had norden in it?

And yes.. Ju-88 must have its 1000kg bombs in inner racks.

DROOP SNOOT!!!
 

fd-ski; 6000ft is probably the length of runway a Fw 190G carrying a 1800kg bomb would need to get airborne.
