~S~ all,

Anyone know or know where i might find out what the damage 'dice' values are for:

US general purpose bombs

250lb
500lb
1000lb

Japanese general purpose bombs

30kg
60kg
250kg

I'm attempting to replicate bomb damage via the 'Alpha' approach that uses modified cannon shells to allow for 'bombing' in multiplayer games.

I've worked out how to modify, position and point the cannons with the help of Kevib1, who sent me his 1% B-17E dp file that uses the same method - much appreciated Kev!  :)

I just need the info to make the 'bombs' as close to the 'real' thing as possible

PS Anyone know what the unit of measurement is in the DPEd Weight field? Is it grams or ounces?

~S~

OK - seek and ye shall find. The Weight field indicates weight of the round in ounces.

I've also located a source of info for damage dice values for US bombs (http://www.cfgse.calebflerk.com/index.htm).

250lb General Purpose = 1d1*500
500lb General Purpose = 1d1*1000
1000lb General Purpose = 1d1*2000
1600lb General Purpose = 1d1*3200
2000lb General Purpose = 1d1*4000
4000lb General Purpose = 1d1*8000

Do these seem about right, do you think? I'm not sure if they're not a bit low...

(Like I have the first idea what I'm talking about... ;-)

Cheers,
