Can I ask what an 'airburst' is ???. Originally I thought you meant a blast wave type of thing but When using standard bombs in CFS3 you usually get flipped if your too close to the explosion.

Also, wasn't the Granslam bomb designed to penetrate the Big Dams that the Dam Busters took out?

An airburst is when the bomb detonates before hitting the ground. The Hiroshima bombs were set to detonate at about 2000 feet I believe. I assume this was to make the most of the blast radius, as no doubt buildings would have slowed it down and lessed the damage.

The Upkeep mines were used on the dams. The grandslam was a deep penetration "earthquake bomb" used to decemate any building you care to name.

OK so I guess I have to PAY just for a simple bunch of numbers. I might as well learn how to make one myself!
