I noticed that US bombs do little damage for some reason. For example the 2000 lbs doesn’t have the 19 m kill radius, same for the 4000 lbs and its 54 m kill radius. I have plenty of replays where 2000 lbs bomb lands within 10 metres of the enemy and it just doesn’t kill him.
This screenshot is from the last match. You can see the bomb landed closer than 19 metres but it still failed to kill the Ferdinand.
I direct hit a PT-76 with a 250kg bomb and it did nothing but track it
And i plopped a 600kg bomb next to a kv-1 and it broke it right track. Nothin more

It´s not just US bombs, it´s all bombs. It looks like the old bomb bug from update Ground Breaking is back yet again.
I thought war thunder said that they wanted to be realistic? What happened to that?
50 and 60kgs doing very good but above that it becomes unpredictable …
Calm down me playing A2D-1 and bombing the battleship ww1, I didn’t do anything to it, 4000lb fell inside on the preview and disappeared didn’t even explode xd, and two 2000lb bombs also did nothing, only after reloading and 2nd attempt something succeeded
The nerf is real and is noticeable during bomb drops.
Was having a conventional Bomb dropping technique and suddenly needs more precision
I too notice this somewhat.
After some more testing it’s definitely just the US bombs that have this issue.
This is from today’s game. FAB 500 landed on top of me, killed me without a problem.
This is me dropping a 1000 lbs on IS-4. It bounced off of the tank and did 0 dmg.
