You uh, gonna post a pic from the side or we just looking at an explosion 15m off the wingtip, actually looking at the lighting, above the wingtip
Bro the O is white are you colorblind too 😭
Then it exploded at 15 meters, where it is forced to detonate by its fuse. Let’s calculate again…
Incident overpressure grows from 3 PSI to roughly 5.1 PSI. Required PSI for human internal organ failure is around 35-45 PSI. Chances of rupture is still unlikely, but fragmentation penetration increases. Once again, however, this location is void of anything but space and exterior components. It will not kill the pilots, and these planes are designed to take exterior damage on this scale, even if not all at once.
The result. A sluggish B-29 with alive pilots and likely dead gunners in the region.
It’s an explosion 26km off the wingtip, it directly hit the NA server but one single shrapnel touched the wing at 0.1m/s

Idk the O still seems white to me on an orange background, are you having a stroke?
You are making a fantastic case for the fighter mains of this thread

This doesn’t say that they were not used as target drones after the war.
Ok and? Does this mean they were not used as target drones after the war?
So let’s say this together, first 40kg of tnt cripples the wing by destroying flaps and aleirons, second 40kg of tnt on the same crippled wing does nothing
Yup it’s bomber mains time
This patch is going to be juicy
Glad to help
No, first watch your own video properly, that was a Type 99 mk1.
If we had the X-ray image, we would see how much damage it sustained, and even so, we can see that it has sustained a sufficient level of damage.
3rd place
Are you sure? Watch the video again and you can see that your bullets landed in the areas above the MG mark on the tail.
All the bullets either went into the void or hit the engine; it was 5 20mm bullets that damaged the plane.
Shrapnel under 3g does not damage the main wing spars and structure benesth the skin, gaijin said this themselves, so what youre doing with this 40kg distant explosion at most is swiss cheesing the wing, not blowing it off, if that bomber were player controlled it wouldve probably crashed anyway banking horribly to the left, as the b29 ingame has always had a weakness to wing damage anyway (assuming it didnt fall off from 4 .50 cal sized shots) Bot controlled planes dont obey the laws of physics we all know this

It would poke thousands of holes into them, making them less effective. It might blow off the closer ones, but you are not providing mulitple angles of this situation, which makes it harder for me to accurately guess distances.
If the explosion is 15 meters off the wing as well, which it likely is, it would only have a blast pressure of 5.1 PSI, which isn’t all that much to a B-29. That’s only 5 pounds per square inch of pressure for a brief moment. That’s only a little over 5 times the pressure a B-29 would withstand going 220 mph. This is for a brief moment, mind you.

They literally get blown off in the video mister math
“A brief moment” mere miliseconds, almost too long for the attention span of these guys

Im not caught up, which video? Wait so youre complaining the bomber is dying? Welcome to team bomber! 😂
The stroke finally did it’s job
The closest ones do, yes, but not the ones near the fuselage, as you can see in this delayed screenshot, which is a direct indicator that the explosive is losing power over distance. Furthermore, Gaijin’s models aren’t gospel. I’m telling you real numbers, not Gaijin’s.

Btw here’s a subtle detail I noticed: the B-29’s engines catch fire in just 1 or 2 hits, almost like in real life, whereas the B-17’s engines require 4 to 5 hits, just as they did historically.
