regularly i will get a clean bomb drop that doesn’t kill tanks in the same BR like the following:
i think the armour pen of a 100lb bomb is just too damn low.

It’s only 100lbs, that’s only about 45 kg, that’s a pretty small bomb.

You need to use 250kg/500lb bombs to effectively destroy tanks, especially medium or heavy tanks (like the Panzer III on your picture).

Sadly it isnt a rocket launcher that one can pull out of ass and kill entire crew from another side of the map while shooting with quickness of a bolt action rifle
the fatal distance of 45kg TNT (not the explosive used in these bombs but couldn’t find their TNT equivalant but it’s probably higher), is 8.21 m with lung damage up to 13.01. i think this should at least have a more significant effect on tank crews. numbers from the UN safeguard calculator
low battle ranks US only get 2 of these bombs per resuply and higher battle ranks don’t have them, to get a bomb this close to a tank without losing your plane in the proces already requires a good bit of skill. so buffing these a little won’t change things that much. if anything it will force tank players to play a bit more actively by having to keep moving to not get hit by planes or place themselves more stategicaly next to buildings. this would also help get them out of the more open camp spot outside of the battle areas.

gotta correct myself. there could be around 63 lb of tritonal in there with around 34kg TNT equivalant thus having a FD of 7.4m and LD to 11.85m
