if this ever get added then USSR can finaly get it FAB-9000 for the Tu-95 and TU-160
Pretty much every Soviet heavy bomber after the Tu-4.
Here’s the thing about the FAB-9000, though- its explosive filler weight is 4,300kg and supposedly that’s just TNT meaning the TNT equivalent is less than the FAB-5000. Even if it is TGA-16 that’s still “only” 6,450kg TNTe, or very slightly more than the 12,000lb HC’s 6,358kg and comparable to the 6,628kg TNTe of the Grand Slam. But even still nowhere close to the Cloudmaker’s power.

At its tier it would struggle to reach the battlefield so it would be kinda balanced

Need this thing and Tu-16 with FAB-9000s and the Grand Slam to be added ASAP
just wait until they add the B36, it could carry two of them
Oh lord
hold me if that happens ground RB will be changed forever.
CAS players getting zipper burn right now
OH no, just no this game doesnt need this one…
But in other hand, I would use it.
I really, really would play scouts just to get this in air and dropped…
So yes, this game actually needs it.
Just a minor thing, no TK autobans while using this bomb :D
USA CAS mains realizing they don’t have the biggest bomb in the game and cant nuke the D point like Russian and UK mains can:

you mean that US air tree doesnt have any large bombs (with the biggest being 4000lbs iirc), which is even more insulting when you realize that the b29 used the same large bomb (even had guided versions) as the lancaster has

The 12,000lb HC found in-game is different from the 12,000lb MC Tallboy, and the US didn’t use the HC
The pe8 and Lancaster’s super bombs are a different creature.
Aight, sorry to necro this thread a bit, but I just found a photo of the B-29 with the T-12 on board, which show how it was carried from the outside.
It seemed that this is achieved by removing the rear bombing bay door and enlarging it, and this doesn’t seems to involves significant modification aside from extra bomb hook.

we have similar set ups in game on many aircraft wont be that much of an issue. Would love to see a B-29 rushing to drop this big boy in ground.
honestly might be enough for bug report
I think the bug report generally passed “missing” loadout of a place as suggestion rather than a bug, unless it involves the existing loadout in-game being incorrectly modelled, so I feel like it’s a bit reduandant to make a bug report for entirely new payload.
+1 we need bigger bombs.
