ATOMIC BOMB

[Stormtropper]

Is there a atomic bomb weapon pack out there for download?? If there isn't would it be smart if I made one? (The explosive power might be too large making the game too easy and screwing up the game, which is not smart )

 I'm not sure if this is what your looking for, but there's an outfit called GMX Media who just released a CFS3 addon called "Firepower".  The addon package has an A-bomb in it with effects.  Check it out in the latest copy of 'PC Pilot' or at GMX's website:  www.gmxmedia.net/firepower

Actually check out the latest copy of Computer Pilot, they do a good spread on FP.

You mean one of these. This is me flying off in the distance as my wingman nukes a target.

Does it actually destroy everything in the blast radious?

"Does it actually destroy everything in the blast radious?"

Yes - roughly about a 2km radius.

Where do I download these aircraft and atomic bombs?  I have looked on the sites above but it is just info or movies.  It looks awsome plus I want the B-29 and the Lancaster.

 Hmmmmmmmmm..............Looks like fun!!!

 Where do you download these aircraft and atomic bombs?  Ahhhhh....there's the rub!  They're payware and available from the GMX Media site posted above (look for the 'purchase' tab in the upper right hand corner).  Sorry about that.

Anyone wanting to purchase FirePower should order it from the following site:

The company "GAME" is Europe's largest game retailer, and have an excellent online shipping system.

"Actually, the Grandslam was a pinpoint deep penetration bomb designed to get through 30 feet of ferro cement before detonating."

Absolutely - a choice weapon for sub pens.  All of this data is taken into consideration when creating the damage values.

Even general purpose bombs that exploded at impact had a much lower blast radius effectiveness than reflected in so many flight simulations.  We consulted with actual bomb blast test data of various weapons, measuring air pressure at specific distances, and then cross-referenced military values for different target types and materials.

Almost every target, vehicle, ship, aircraft, and weapon was matched up and tested against this data.

And I forgot to say, that second Atomic Bomb picture is absolutely superb. Its how a nuclear weapon detonation should look like. But one thing, does it air burst?

You have the choice to use the Grand Slam against a sub pen, and do not have to stick to what was done historically.  Some buildings were so well protected they could actually survive a direct hit from a Tallboy.  I think if some of those raids were done over, they may have opted for the Grand Slam if they were available.
