Title: US guided bomb
Post by: stephen on August 29, 2006, 12:13:24 AM

I dont have a photo but I saw it on Mail Call last night, called a BAT it could be carried by fighter A/C and was used to destroy several ships in the pacific, and the guy said it was even used to destroy a bridge, I believe it had a thousand pound warhead and was self guided, any of you research guys find a photo of this thing and know how to post it id appreciate it..

Didn't the allies start jamming the radio control for the Fritz X, I seem to recall something like that.  It pretty much reduced the effectiveness of the guidance system.

azon isnt it, it was a glider bomb with a split tail carried primarily by the f4u, im currently trying to locate a video on it, but it seems to have been used extensivly in the anti shipping role......the ole fritz would be a nice contemporary, im looking for new exciting shtuff to add so this game doesnt lose its luster.................of course we would require an HE-111 to carry fritz........................ ............................. ............................. ....

Ooooh. A new toy to drop from my Hog? I'm intrigued.

Especially if I'm able to actually hit my target with it! :D
