Bomb blast radius?

[2Slow]

What is the blast radius, in feet, for the 100, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 pound bombs?

Heck, how about a chart for all the bomb ordinance's blast radius?

Looking forward for your work on it

Someone get me the radii and I'll make up a chart, preferably the radius at wich it will destroy a town building. I'll even include dive bombing sights for the B-25, TBM, 110, and P-47/P-51.

dive bomb sights=easy mode

I have no idea but I know I killed 3 flakkers with one 1800kg bomb in a Stuka once.....then I LMAO all the way back to base.

afaik splash damage is modelled correctly so there isnt a fixed blast radius, damage drops off exponentially with distance.

ie. blast damage = k/r²

That is a good request that is needed.  I have drop 1000 lbs bomb next to a GV and boom, then there is the 500 lbs bomb i have drop and no kill.

Per Nemisis, that is what I am looking for.  I understand the model as explained.  So my question is, what is the blast radius of the different ord's for destroying a town building?  There must be a point from the center of the blast from which the effect will not destroy a town building.

you could try testing it in the TA, although I cant really see how this info would be useful

[morfiend]

 IIRC,a delay of .54 will have 500# bombs overlap in spalsh damage.

 Actually Rolex would have the exact delay but I think it's .54 for 500lbers.


 Not sure it this helps but it will give you a starting point to experiment and find the answer yourself.

Yes, I know I can obtain this information by testing offline.  I will, if need be.  I just thought one might know or have access to this information in the real deal.  Since I am pretending to be doing the real deal...

I could tell you why I want this information but virtual COMSEC, OPSEC, and Most Secret/Top Secret/NOFORN classification prevents this.

wouldnt it depend on the speed of the plane because if you are going 400mph in a 234 .54 seconds is quite a ways apart

[Nemisis]

In the B-25, I use a delay of 0.17 when droping the '250s, and a delay of 0.27 with the 500lbers. For the Ju-88, I use a delay of 0.12 with the 50kg bombs. I've even found a method that doesn't require the use of the bombsight.



And I would test this in the TA if I could reliably determin the distance from the center of the blast. I have no measurments for the dimesions of the town buildings, so I can't even get a rough guess.

... which begs the question: if you have no way of reliably measuring it, how is knowing the exact distances in yards going to help?
