Exploring the LARGEST and Most DESTRUCTIVE WWII Bombers

[@VidarLund-k5q]

The Avro Lancaster's ten tons of bombs were one ten ton Grand Slam.

That’s a great clarification! The Avro Lancaster was famously modified to carry the massive 10-ton "Grand Slam" bomb, also known as the "Earthquake Bomb," designed by Barnes Wallis. This single bomb was the heaviest payload ever carried by a WWII bomber and was used to devastating effect against fortified targets. While the Lancaster typically carried a mixed bomb load, the Grand Slam missions were a testament to the aircraft's incredible versatility and payload capacity.

Tu-4 was a post-war design and production. Largest Soviet bomber of WWII was Petlyakov Pe-8.

You’re absolutely right! The Tupolev Tu-4 was a post-war design, essentially a reverse-engineered copy of the American B-29 Superfortress, entering service after WWII. During the war, the largest Soviet bomber was indeed the Petlyakov Pe-8. It was the USSR's only four-engine strategic bomber of the conflict, capable of carrying significant bomb loads over long distances. Although produced in limited numbers.

the music sucks

[@canal_Bx]

Fair enough-music is subjective, and not everyone enjoys the same styles or choices.

[@frankanderson4176]

How about using American measurements and drop the horrible music.

Stupid music.
