This may sound off, but wouldnt it be cool to have a SUPER costly perk weapon like a nuke bomb? *wicked grin* (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif)
That way not only would the player have to pay the perk points FOR the B-29, but also the perk point to carry the bomb.
Of course, he would have to survive the mission and drop it as well!
More perk weapons:
V1 flying bombs
V2 rockets
and any other single-shot weapons like artillery (.5 perk points per shot?), 88mm flak guns (.2 perk point per shot?), etc.

hmm.. just remembered the Luftwaffe's air-to-air rockets used against bombers as well as aerial bombs. Would make great perking weapons =)

22,000lber for the lanc please (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/eek.gif)

The Model of the Lanc. we currently have was , I am pretty sure,not capable of schlepping that monster up their.It would be fun to drop it though. Our lanc could carry a Tallboy though (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

the lanc didnt hold the grandslam in its bay. It had it slung underneath, our lanc could handle the grand slam.

How about Mine shells for LW?

Not our model M8t,The following is from, Bombers of WW2 by David Donald.
p.74"the even bigger 9979-kg(22,000) Grand Slam, which required substantial aircraft modifications resulting in the designation Mk I (special)"
These modifications included, the removal of the forward and top turrets,the sculpting of the lower fuselage where the bomb bay "was" (yes it was no longer their) to allow the bomb to be slung underneath the bomber.
Our lanc. could carry the 8,000 pound bomb, basically a double 4,000 pounder , and the rare 12,000 pounder a triple 4,000 pounder, as well as the tallboy another 12,000 pound bomb, a streamlined deep penetration bomb.

I wonder if grand slam would make such good effect on soft targets...
It was designed to penetrate steel hardened concrete right?
So it must have been fully armor penetrating bomb.
I'd say that general purpose or high explosive bomb wouldn't have such tremendous effect...
..right?

It was intended for deep penetration into the ground before it detonated, using the blast, shockwave, and concussion to crumble objects for quite some distance around it IIRC (best way to knock out a concrete struture is to destroy it's foundation)
Basically in practice they dropped it on the concrete sub pens where it smashed through one pen before detonating using the concussion to destroy the surrounding pens from underneath so to speak.
Hence the name "earthquake bomb"

Call me crazy, but im pretty sure it would screw up just about anything (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

How about 90mm radar proximity fuze shells for the U.S/ Allies?
(As I duck for cover.... :-)

We have 5" which I think is like 127mmm now on the CV and cruiser.

For those of you who own Combat Mission, imagine the 300mm Rocket Salvo. Now combine the craters together.
Imagine HT coding the "shockwave" effect like CM does. If your plane is hit by the shockwave, your dead. Now put it with this bomb.
All hell would bust loose when somebody decided to "buy" one. They would announce it on country channel, and I bet almost everyone would stop what they are doing to escort this mother to her target.
Heck people who missed shooting the Lancanster down would grab an Ostwind and try and hit the bomb as it fell. It would be a riot.
