THE development of 4.10 has taken almost as long as World war two itself,I'm losing all
patience.

Not much of a loss though.

Just a little update on the bombs:

I found some historical data concerning the destruction radius for German SC bombs and FAB 5000.

Since some of TD said the shrapnel-radius needs to be taken into account for FABs blast-radius in game, I want to post a table for the shrapnel radius that I found in Wolfgang Thamms book Fliegerbomben:
  • Bomb__Shrapnel-Radius
  • SC50_______32,5m_______25m in game
  • SC250______65m_________77m in game
  • SC500______95m_________82m in game
  • SC1000____180m________168m in game
  • SC2000____350m________275,8m in game


Here is why the FABs destruction radius in game is very dubious:

The most common explosive in FAB bombs used was Amatol(exception FAB50 using pure TNT).
SC bombs contained a mix of 40% Amatol and 60% TNT.
The TNT equivalent for Amatol is given with 0,85. That means it´s less powerful.
Accordingly the TNT equivalent of SCs is 0,94 where the FABs TNT equivalent is 0,85, which results in 9% more explosive power for the SC bombs in comparison to FAB bombs.

Historically the SC bombs had a heavier filling than the FAB bombs.

I found a source in the internet giving away the blast radius of a FAB 5000 with 428m!!! in game we have 2500m!!!
Quote:

one must think with horrific effect, as well-- the calculated zone of lethality for a non-armoured target in proximity to a 'normally fused' FAB 5000 blast was given as 428 meters!!

Another source states the radii to destroy concrete/wood in FAB bombs are:
FAB-50____12m/25m(stone/wood)____25m in game
FAB-100___18m/35m(stone/wood)____50m in game
FAB-250___28m/56m(stone/wood)____50m in game
FAB-500___40m/80m(stone/wood)___250m in game
FAB-1000_55m/112m(stone/wood)___500m in game


With this historical data in the background, I kindly ask TD to change the blast radius of FAB and SC bombs.

Another concern was that some of the German Cockpits weren´t historical correct.
Is TD interested in data on that to be able to do a change?

@Emil: Please use the proper way of reporting errors or requests which is much more easier for us to follow than going through many pages of public forums: our email address. Thanks a lot.

Martin

Aha.

Where do I find the email?
