The thing with GRB is how incredibly random they would be and how huge the risk of friendly fire is
In air-only modes and even in naval, I don’t have any concerns beyond server/client performance with the larger cluster bombs
No higher than any of the mega bombs or a F-111 or B-52 dumping a load of 2k/3k bombs respectively likely are. Heck Canberra with 2x 4k bombs still probably more dangerous than something like a Jaaaaaag with 8x BL755s would be in that respect
I think worrying about players being idiots and TKing is a recipe to just end up with nothing but nerf guns.
Anyone dumb enough to keep TKing with CBUs would just get banned eventually
Hey. I am always excited for what’s coming. I am just not excited about the pings that come with that period.

What would the bomb spread of a large cluster bomb be?
With a FAB-9000, a 12000lb Cookie Bomb or any of the smaller, but still large bombs, you at least know that the bomb will land in a specific spot and the range at which the bomb is guaranteed to kill is consistent
With hundreds of bomblets just landing in somewhat random spots, you have a much larger radius at which properly armoured vehicles can still be killed and you cannot rely on cover “hopefully” saving allies
Obviously people should always take care when carpet bombing or dropping large bombs, but I just can’t trust people to make sure that a radius of like 500m is safe to drop a bomb onto

but what about the challenger 2 ready rack?

Reload rate is a “soft-balance factor”
Challenger 2 players are too good at the game

Spread is dictated by the opening altitude, so could be given a cap, a max height in which it can open, with launch conditions like those found on torpedos to ensure certain minimum release conditions as well.
Drop too low, it doesnt deploy.
Drop from higher and it doesnt deploy until a set alt
Cant drop over a certain speed
cant drop below a certain speed
could even be given level flight requirement so that you also cant loft them.
That then gurantees a certain size and distribution and is fairly predictable
After that, its just an interface problem, just needs to be given a dedicated CCIP reticle and not the same generic one they use for all existing bombs (even weapons like glide bombs)

he made a statement
worst top tier tank and still doing just as good as a 2a7 somehow :)
Will we get a firepower boost in some way in top tier
Day 1315 of waiting for Polish tech tree
He doesn’t need devblog season just seen around nine people to ping him about moving their bug reports lol

With a lot of conditions those bombs definitely seem a lot more reasonable lol
Well, hopefully Gaijin takes some factors like that into consideration before just giving people access to a new way to kill their entire team
Spoiler
I don’t have much hope there though, considering they refuse to add a minimum drop height for nukes in GRB

Yeah I don’t envy his position in that aspect.
