Cool but use more folders.

[Scärlett]

[Ghostmaxi]

You can also rename the folders insteas of “Spoiler”

[Scärlett]

fixed new info i learned today thank you !

@Scarlétt

Some claims says SC 5000 was used very limited in the He 177

This one was never built iirc, only drawing and the regular He 177 bomb bay was too samll to carry it anyway.

however there was the V38 with the slit in the middle being removed to carry a bigger bomb.

@Ghost-King

Atom bomb? There was no focus on atom bombs from the german side. The caption seems wrong and it was probably meant, like you said, for bigger bombs excluding nukes

[Ghost-King]

Probably some made up thing i believe this bomb bay was experimental for the Future Ju-287 and have nothing to do with a nuclear bomb. Note that the bomb bay was shortened too.

[Scärlett]

what about the SA 4000 and SHL 6000 ?

[Chris4win]

yeah building a plane for a nuke if not even a working reactor was build would be like buying wheels for a car despite having money only in a few years to buy one

[Ghost-King]

SA 4000kg is some what real but i dong have proper documents for it

SHL 6000 this one have lots of speculations, there is the SHL 800 but still have no proper info for both unfortunately

[Ghost-King]

They where never near successful even if they try thier best, iirc the problem wasn’t the budget or engineering, it was the graphite that they bought wasn’t pure enough and had boron contamination that reduced it effectiveness

[Scärlett]

i have images to

if you check the images folder
what i mean did the He 177 use them?

[Ghost-King]

Could be but otherwise idk, with the V38, it’s highly possible with modified bomb bay, things like the Me 264 could be able to carry it too.

[Scärlett]

more images talk about the V38

Spoiler

@Ghost-King would be nice if you can make a suggestion about this plane could be a interesting event bomber for Germany !

the He 177B can carry up to 7500kg of bombs
i will try to make a suggest about the He 177B

Will never mind my suggestion got declined again

took my hours i guess they just don’t like me XD idk
i added a much info i could find about the He -177B-5

[Ghostmaxi]

There was Atom bomb development, they just gave up at some point. The Uranium was then considdered (and maybe in some amount even used) as cores for 5 cm Pzgr.40/1. Note not depleated, but normal Uranium.
