My joystick was a little funny so I didn't get the run I wanted but I did manage to kill 3 T-34 tanks with one AB500 bomb. Note the late pull out and 1.5 second bomb delay to cluster the bombs in a tight area.

Like I said... my best was 8 tanks with a single bomb.

I am sorry, i can't see the track, gives me an error when trying to watch :( . Anyway, i trust your word.

It's just a standard NTRK... put it in your records folder, load up IL2, and have a watch. It'll work under any version.

AB-250 Has SD-2 anti personnel fragmentation bombs

AB-500 Has SD-4 antiarmour bomblets

AB-1000 Has incendiary bombs

Thanks

I cannot access the code right now, so I cannot verify this. AB 1000 most certainly has incendiary bomblets, which makes it very ineffective against everything else except houses. I recall that the incendiary rods were either B2EZ (http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/b2ez.htm) or B2.2EZ (http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/b22ez.htm)

AB 500 has SD 4 HL bomblets http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/sd4hl.htm

AB 250 has SD 2 butterflies http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/sd2.htm

4.10 introduces new AB 23 bombs (http://www.warbirdsresourcegroup.org/LRG/ab23sd2.html). Hs 129 carrying 2xAB 23 equals only 46 SD 2 butterflies, which is far less than AB 250 carries. It's very easy to wipe out whole vehicle column with 2xAB 23.

AB 23s were used in Africa lot agains soft targets to save expensive tungsten rounds. Against tanks these bombs are quite useless.

Would be interesting to see why the Russian cassette load out is so devastating compared to German 4 x AB 500

Also

SD-2 or Butterfly bombs used to litter the streets here in London.

I remember my Grandad had some deactivated ones in his garage.

I think they may have contained something similar to the AZh-2 incendiary ampulets fired by soviet grenade launchers.

But I am no expert on Soviet ordinance and may have that wrong.
