SB 2500 bombs (Spezialbombes) was a luftmine (aerial mines) used by the Luftwaffe during World War II. The SB series of bombs were high-capacity bombs intended to create the largest lateral blast effect, in contrast to most other German bombs, which were armor-piercing, cluster bombs, fragmentation or incendiaries. Since the SB series was not designed to pierce armor or to create fragments, the casings were very light and the ratio of charge to weight was high.
There are two types the SB 2500 A1 and the smaller version the SB 2500 :
SB 2500 bombs are similar in weight and slightly similar in dimensions compared to SC2500 therefore they can be carried by the aircrafts listed below :
Same ngl i never actually see it in the first time XD.
They are basically a SC 2500 but with thin walls instead of focusing on shrapnels they are dependant on the explosion blast and pressure to cause distraction.
The SB 2500 A1 will have bigger blast radius since it have almost 2000 kg of filling compared to SC 2500 1700 kg.
the smaller version the SB 2500 have 1710 kg of filling compared to SC 2500 so it will have the same blast radius only advantage being smaller in size so it’s cause less drag and it can be easy to transport.
Thanks for clarifying that too. That would have been my next question.
Overall I’d recommend making a suggestion for this. If I remember right bombs kill tanks thanks to shockwaves/explosive mass not shrapnel. So it could kinda act as the German version of the Fab-5000
It’s fine sometimes things just don’t work, plus there is alot of german suggestions so i am still satisfied that there is alot of things to be added in the future. Btw talking about big bombs the US still never received their pumpkin bomb.
