Damage from a decent blast would still be severe, but not “plane combusts violently and turns into pieces” severe.

Holy moly. It is almost like you did absolutely no research what-so-ever. How are all your AI agents getting smoked by some boomer using google from his toilet?

well in game we have this and you have been saying its fine so like
It can and did. You can see that B-17 hit by a Falcon burst into a huge fireball.
yes there was??
What do you think all of that is???
Half of one wing is gone, an entire engine is gone, the entire front of the fuselage is GONE
I’m now hitting those B-29s with Zuni rockets.
hitting a small bird is enough to dent the wing of an airplane in the real world i somehow doubt it would be able to walk off a 40kg explosion
On the toilet? You trying to shove heads up there and prove the math wrong? xD
Because my sources were wrong doesnt mean the math was, I actually used AI to instantly reverse search your picture to find where it was, I also found skin thicknesses for the lower wing surface and horizontal/vertical stabilizers, and now I can adjust everything accordingly
Also, Im not overstating the thickness by 150 percent, thats fraudulent, like your film, this was a mere 40 percent discrepancy which Ive admitted to and am now actively correcting

Also heres some info on the amount of spars and whatnot for the fuselage + skin thicknesses for the rest

update: it gets FUNNIER
9kg TNTe (Zuni is a dual purpose warhead, deals huge damage in hits and even in near misses)
One
Two
Three
Four
Remember, the Zuni is powerful enough to destroy TANKS on the ground with a near miss.

They had both 127mm and 120mm versions, but the 120mm also had a feature called coastal defense, and the video shows the plane being shot down on the coastal side of the islands, so I insisted on the 120mm.
If I’m not mistaken, 127mm cannons were also found in places like the Wotje Islands; I saw a description of them in a museum I visited.
you mean overpressure with gaijins goofy aah mechanics or irl, possibly a mobility kill, youd need a direct hit to kill kill a tank and even then its not complete structural obliteration
1.6mm is the thickest.
The fuselage skin is even thinner.
You built your whole diagram around a skin thickness of 2mm when the thickest part of the wing is 1.6mm and most of the plane is around 1mm.

they had like a total of 2 120mm guns left by this point
You do not.
I never said it was fine, but bombers don’t fall into pieces without colossal punishment. I can’t even say for certain if 40kg of explosives hitting the mid-tail section would even blow a B-29 apart like it does on live, as the B-17 doesn’t disintegrate off of 70kg hitting it.
It should do damage, but the disintegration should not be present, as it is live. Instead, it would likely have the fusalage warped and shredded, with the propellers shattered instead.
I made that statement before. War Thunder doesn’t shatter the propellers when it should.

You needed AI to duplicate something that Google has been able to do forever. Amazing stuff here.

one Falcon and its 1.25kg of explosives is enough
german investigation found ~450g would make a crash inevitable
i would bet every dollar i will ever make that it would
The cockpit is not gone, just hugely deformed. Yes, it is lethal, but it isn’t crumbling like a LEGO set as it does on Live. As for the wing and engine, of course, they were blown off because they were beside the 70kg explosive. They’re thinly mounted compared to the fuselage.
Hit the engine area. I don’t have the Dev installed right now.

Yes and my argument was shooting the bomber at its strongest point shouldnt reward you with a kill so easily unless you’ve brought something genuinely frame shattering
Wingtips and other surfaces? Yeah that makes sense and I never said it didnt, and ingame they do come off with ease
Anyway by shifting the skin thickness from 2mm to 1.63mm, the hole size and peeling has increased on everything by 10%
Which means now my overlaid pictures where the mk108 hole in the inner wing will match up perfectly with the new red damage dot instead of being slightly larger than the dot
I shall edit new 10% larger dots for the mk108, the 50mm, and the 105
Doesn’t do much. This is ~8x the explosives of a missile that oneshots a B-17.
