What is the difference 'between one thousand conventional bombs used in ww2 and a ONE simple atomic bomb?
the destructive power remains the same.
Why do you dispute?

You really don't get it, do you? A one ton conventional bomb can be used against a ship, a factory, a depot. The smallest atomic bomb (Little Boy) had a blast force 15000 times greater than the 1 ton "Blockbuster". It had a destruction radius of more than 3 kilometres. What target are you going to use it for? How accurately do you need to aim?

The blast radius of an atomic bomb makes it useless as a tactical weapon. It is a strategic weapon, it's only use is to take out whole industrial areas or cities with one bang. The only purely military target possible would be an armada at sea, and even then it would be a strategic rather than a tactical strike.

I ask only one repplica historical and 'important.EVENT
This is an important historical event that changed the way of war.

There were a lot of atrocities in WWII. I do not want to play a concentration camp sim or a Gulag sim, neither do I wish to play a sim bombing Dresden. And I do not wish to play a sim where I am expected to kill a 100.000 civilians with one blast.

If you are to treat this from a purely historical point of view, your only targets are two Japanese cities. The mission itself will be dead boring (very high altitude, no opposition). The only thing spectacular is the blast. If you really, really feel the need to drop nuclear bombs, there is a game called "Defcon: Strategic Nuclear War" that might interest you.
