Added new bomb classifications to the game.  In addition to General Purpose(GP) bombs, there are now Armor Piercing(AP), Semi-Armor Piercing (SAP), and High Capacity (HC) or Light Case (LC) bombs.  For purposes of the game, compared to a GP bomb of the same weight the new bombs do the following: HC or LC bombs do 75% damage on a direct hit and have 125% of the blast radius.  SAP bombs do 125% damage on direct hits and have 33% of the blast radius.  AP bombs do 150% damage on direct hits and have 20% of the blast radius.  AP and SAP bombs are mostly available on dive bombers.  

i posted a thread some moons(july 2nd, 2012) ago on adding AP bombs  and this is even more than i ever suggested.
Great work this will add much to realism <S>

Nice! Time to test it.

At the danger of appearing like a nagging nabob of negativity... 

I would have wished for a different way of implementation. The way it is now, it won't have any notable impact on plane usage or give more tactical options or considerations.

after a few test runs with AP and GP bombs i think AP should be 200% instead of 150%...or at least kept same dmg for AP and lower GP dmg. math works here: 1800 kg stuka nuke does more dmg with bigger blast radius than 1000kg AP. So where is the incentive to want to take AP...flying 5mph faster? or 20miles further with it? AP and GP should really have a real incentive.  what your bomb is meant for or waste  your bomb/dmg stinks/you need to directly hit it/(GVs with AP). Think about a tiger with all AP Vs a hanger or a tiger with all HE Vs a t85/panther/tigers.  You should needed AP bombs or torps to kill a capital ship or harden structure, but the blast radius should not be useful for towns, strats, or vehicles(unless direct hit). what new system allows is forcing people to pick task specific ords. other wise  make direct torp hits kill GVs and guns im stuck with a torp that can kill with its weight alone any gv or gun but not in AH. (need to go to bed, ill expand on what at the moment im not thinking of
