i wonder if you know how different bomb’s work…
single unguided 250kg bomb will detonate a huge singular blast on the area of impact
a single unguided cluster bomb will release its nearly 100 small roughly 4 pound explosives like rain drops from storm cloud but these rain droplets have the explosive yield of 2 hand grenades
hey these cluster bombs are cleared to be equipped on medium and light bombers so putting em on a slower moving larger target that can’t reload mid air actually isn’t a terrible idea
how exactly is this “stoopid” and don’t just say “cause people will spam mini nukes” because as i already stated you won’t be able to reload the heavy bombers… and the bomb loads im suggesting aren’t larger then whats already in game…
It is stupid because they are heavy bombers that did NOT engage in close air support ffs.
The times the allies tried using heavy bombers for some in normandy it varied between useless and a disaster, and it was generally done hours before the troops on the ground actually got engaged.
It’s a stupid idea.
so you think its stupid because they got shot down. got it… i guess you think the whole rush on D-Day was stupid then cause in reality the allies were getting mowed down by german MG placements in all the defensive bunkers unlike how it is in game where the only MG bunker smack dab in the middle is what the axis rush to
No they didn’t get shot down - not many of them - they were just ineffective, or BOMBED THEIR OWN TROOPS, and they were used HOURS BEFORE the actual attack.
Now I’m thinking that it is not only the idea that is stupid…
you act like M18 coloured smoke grenades didn’t exist in 1942… these were used to mark ground targets for aircraft’s or to mark friendlies position for extraction…
You act like USAAF didn’t kill 111 US soldiers in operation Cobra - including Lt General Lesley McNair - the highest ranked US soldier KIA in European operations in WW2, killed by his own side… despite colored smoke
Stuff this - your ignorance is so profound that it actually almost makes the idea look not stupid any more in comparison.
wellp shit happens eh 
you play with explosives one of these days someone else is gonna have to open your ketchup bottle for you
im sure lots of friendly soldiers were killed by light and medium bombers also, shit happens when there’s long delay between ground and air information. its not like this modern day UAV powered real time digital map shit.
People whinge enough about stukas… imagine a freaking Lancaster or B17 doing a 1000m bombing run.
I think no
realistically i don’t think people would be strafe bombing from 1000m, that would take one hell of a good pilot to time the drop correctly at that altitude, strafe bombing is already difficult enough with the planes they got in game since you don’t have an air-to-ground radar and you have to judge it based on the distance you are in front of what your trying to hit, how fast you are going and your altitude.
the bombers would have to drop down to at least 600-800 ft and that’s low enough for one of the AA turrets get a bead on it
That is the height that Lanc’s and Helifaxes bombed from to start Operation Goodwood, at 05:45 hrs with h-hour for moving from the start lines set for 07:45!
yea well there’s a serious difference between what people did in the actual operations and what people will do in game…
like the US and Nazi’s weren’t prominent kamikaze bombers but it happens in game a lot
they also had radar systems we don’t have like Oboe and H2S
though we do have a real time map soo i guess that’s leaps and bounds better in most ways other then the fact that you don’t have the radars auditory pinging to give you an idea of how close you are and when you need to drop your load
