Very Very Very Big Bomb 💣

[@rusparmesan]

According to many sources, blast effect of the explosion decreases proportionally to the cube of distance. So increasing yield 8 times will only increase damage radius 2 times. With 6400kg vs 5000kg you only get 1.085767047 times increase in radius; 105m*1.085767047 is 114m, math checks out

[@gmtom19]

does the inverse check out for the 4,000lb bomb only being 40m?

[@pierluigiadreani2159]

can you share the formula or the math, i am curious about it.

[@vitkosbence3705]

It's 4000 kg effective tnt vs 5200 kg I think actually. The 12k bomb has a much higher explosive vs total weight ratio compared to other bombs.

The blast radius might not be much bigger, but I'm betting the concussive force and lethality in that blast is way higher than the Pe-8 5000lb.

@@chfire2004 Yeah, I was trying to have fun doing some high-altitude Pe-8 bombing. Map was Normandy, dropped on B from like 4500m. When I dropped, there were 4 enemies on B. In an unlikely turn of events, my team expertly killed all 4, and moved on to the cap in the 20 seconds it took for the bomb to fall. I watched in horror as I vaporized 5 of my own. lol

[@kckefk0162]

Especially when you tell your team that you are going to drop it on said locationand they just drive there the second u released the bomb... Nut hey a 6 enemy kill was still nice

[@gmtom19]

For anyone watching thats going to play this you need to release slightly before your target, as currently bomb always hits the back of the bomb bay when its released and gets nudged forward a decent amount.

[@headrockbeats]

Or, in this case, hits the TOP of your aircraft and gets nudged UPWARD a decent amount.

[@fabriciovanaert856]

i need to hit it with my article of the plane itself because i dive when i spawn, so it drop way before otherwise

[@phenomagator]

I believe the reason the explosion destruction radius is only a little bigger even though it has so much more explosive material is a result of the inverse square law

[@JimmySaulGoodmanMcGill1960]

TNT equivalent

[@cerdi_99]

cubed* it's a volume, not an area

[@L4v3]

Grand Slam and FAB-5000 were also designed against different targets. Grand Slam was designed to penetrate concrete bunkers and to destroy them from inside and FAB was designed to detonate laterally to cause maximum damage on surface against industrial targets.

[@ИльяДарков-г7ч]

this is why nobody makes huge nukes nowadays. All energy goes to space

[@Ben_Kimber]

@@L4v3 And this isn't the Grand Slam. It's the Blockbuster. You're mostly right about what the Grand Slam was used for, but the Blockbuster was designed to explode on the surface, and is about half as heavy as the Grand Slam. The Grand Slam was designed to compromise underground structures like bunkers without a direct hit via tremors. It would penetrate deep into the ground and explode, and the resulting "earthquake" would collapse the underground bunker.

[@benjaminpont220]

It’s already happened to me where the Lancaster bombed an objective and hit absolutely zero enemies and direct impacted me in my Churchill 7

[@duncanmcgee13]

Theres no way that wasn't intentional lmfao

[@lastwymsi]

That Lancaster had it out for your Churchill

[@endlessmountainwoodworks4278]

I had 2 TK's last night in my lancaster. I put in chat that I was bombing B and then said when bomb was out. 2 idiot teammates rushed the cap after bomb was out. Needless to say back to the hanger I went.

[@benjaminpont220]

@@duncanmcgee13 must’ve been yeah, idk how else that happens

[@imflikyt]

Since it's exploding into a volume, the radius of destruction increases with the cube root of the TNT. So 8kg has only 2x the radius of 2kg TNT. In this case we have cuberoot(6350/5000)*104m = 114m so gaijin is right on the money. It is however worth bearing in mind that the area encompassed increases with the square of the radius. So you get an 8.3% increase in radius, but a 17.3% increase in area of effect. Also you can take two lancasters if you really want so thats nice.

[@Twistshock]

The bomb may only have an ~8.5% larger destruction radius, but on a 2D plane that's an ~18% larger area, and a 3D sphere's volume would be 28% larger, which matches decently with it having 26% more TNT equivalent

I've seen a Lancaster irl, it was absolutely massive, and it was hanging directly over a submarine which it was bigger than.

To be fair, at that size, a few meters make a big difference is area affected. From those 9 extra meters you go from 8560 square meters to 10207 square meters of blasted area or a 20% increase in area effect. The TNT equivalent goes up by 26% from 5041 kg to 6357 kg so it's not that out of line.

[@seblapin]

i'm pretty sure other already said that, but the radius increase is in fact quite huge. it' seems to not be big but the surface covered is way bigger (square law) it's basic math : 105m radius cover a surface of 34636m². 114m radius cover a surface of 40828m². So it's a 17% increase of the obliterated surface. ^^ pretty good for a 26% increase of explosive mass.

[@TranNguyen-zn4sw]

According to Canadian Aviation Heritage, where one of the last 2 remain Lancaster located at. (Hamilton, ON). The 12000lb bomb was originally designed to bomb and break German’s Hydroelectric Damp. The tatic is to fly the Lancaster low and gliding just a few 10-20 meter above the sea surface then drop the bomb at approx 50-70 meter away before the damp. The bomb skips itselft to the damp and explode. That why the bomd was designed cylindrical rounded and not so aerodynamic unlike conventional bomb. I had a chance to walk underneath the plane and she was marvellous.

Taking into account that the blast has a spherical form. The volume of a sphere with a radius of 114m is ~27% bigger than the volume of a sphere with a radius of 105m.
