About LinkBacks....we need one of these please.
By all accounts it did the job that me and Stoo failed to do in IL-2 T's yesterday!
No bloody wonder! Look at the BLOKE next to it!
Full marks go to Jiff Lemon for pointing out where I've been going wrong!

Thats a Grand Slam, twice the size of the Tall Boy. They were both designed as 'Earthquake ' Bombs, basically a dumb bomb dropped from 20,000 ft designed to
punch half a mile into the ground and explode there, lethal against the underground laboratories and weapons bunkers, U-Boat pens, and devastating against a 56,000 tonne Battleship
don't think it'd fit on an IL2 somehow..

Skii gets it in one although I understand from todays reading that it was TALL BOYS that did the Tirpitz...not this monster...which is a Grand Slam...
it exceeds the speed of sound in its decent and has fins to make it spin....it can penetrate 4 metres of concrete....and when it goes of....
30 metres across and 25 metres deep and seismic devastation to all around!
Cant get the plastic cable ties to hold it under my I-153 tho
Needs a Lanc to get the thing in air, 22,000 lbs of devastation!
Was a fascinating read last night
Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed Lanc in IL2 then...

you NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED help pilotNeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed Lanc in IL2 then...

Damned straight....
Mind you, the RN argued that Tirpitz wasn't "properly" sunk, since after 617 did the business on her, her upperworks were still above water...finicky sods, the Navy
From what I recall, they wanted to examine the ballistic characteristics of the Grand Slam at one point, so they decided to film it from below as it was coming down. With some pessimism, they put the ciné camera in the centre of the target before a 617 Lanc came over and dropped the beast from the prescribed 20,000ft. One camera later...
I just like big weaponryyou NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED help pilot

I'd settle for a flyable b17 tbh if they can't be arsed to model the lanc for me
Yep it was multiple Tallboy hits and near misses that did for the Tirpitz.
She turned turtle though Dak so it was another ship the Navy were talking about. Probably the Lutzow that was clobbered at Swinemünde in April 45. Near misses from Tallboys ripped a large hole in her bottom and she sank in shallow waters at her moorings. Some of her armament was still working and were used to bombard Russian positions. She was scuttled but salvaged in 1946 by the Russians.
