Give all 50 kg bombs the same stats

Suggestions

Browsing the datamined stats on the drive document i saw that all 50/60kg bombs have the same stats exept for the 45 kg 100lb bomb… bacause why shouldnt the smallest bomb be the most powerfull?

All normal 50 KG bombs have 35 mm of pen on the explosion but the 100lb bomb has 50mm of pen…
Why? IDK but for some reason does a 45 kg bomb have 40% MORE penetration with 33% LESS weight than a 60kg bomb…

Go and research the amount of explosives each carried.

There can be quite massive differences between bombs of similar weight.

I found this table in wt wiki. Funny it doesn’t say the actual pen of the 60kg bomb. But it has 23kg of TNT, which means it is in the same ballzone. Seems to me they should all have same pen in enlisted. I think it’s only different because of campaign balancing.

OK then let me see…
US: The 45kg bomb has 24.5kg of amatol which has 0,8 TNT equivilancy so its just 19.6 kg of TNT.

Germany: 25 kg of Fp 60/40
this means 60% TNT and 40% ammoniumnitrate with about 0.5 tnt equivalency so
15kg of tnt and and additional 5kg tnt eqivalent for a total of 20kg of TNT

Japan: 23 kg of TNT in their 60 kg bomb acording to WT wiki

Soviet union: 26.35 kg of TNT

So in a ranking

  1. Soviet union with 26.35 kg TNT
  2. Japan with 23kg of TNT
  3. Germany with 2o kg of TNT
  4. US with 19.6 kg of TNT
    This means in fact the US has the worst payload for their bombs but still enjoys having the 40% more pen on their bomb compared to way stronger ones.
