THE NEW BIGGEST BOMB IN WAR THUNDER - 12000lb Tallboy

The Biggest Bomb in War Thunder is here! The 12000lb bomb comes in the form of the Tallboy and is delivered by the Lancaster Bomber!
Today, we take the new biggest bomb in War Thunder into Ground Realistic to blow up some tanks! :)
The Tallboy is now the biggest bomb in the game with almost 1000kg more than the infamous PE-8 Bomb, the FAB-5000!

Hey Odd! Unfortunately the Bomb isn't a Tallboy. It's a Blockbuster bomb. Though both bombs are 12000lbs, the Blockbuster is a HE bomb compared to the Earthquake bomb Tallboy is.

[@JoboTheBestEU]

Anyone else want Gaijin to un-fix the PE-8 mini nuke when it killed everything in its blast radius, regardless of terrain or buildings? Just for the fun?

[@peteturner3928]

That's not a Tallboy, it's the 12,000 lb HC (High Capacity) aka the Blockbuster bomb. Tallboys were streamlined almost bullet shaped bombs with a cruciform tail that spins it as it falls, accelerating it to just over Mach 1 before impact, it too was 12,000 lb in weight, but had a hardened nose to penetrate deep into the ground (or hardened concrete) before exploding and creating an additional earthquake effect on the target, Tallboy and it's bigger 22,000 lb brother the Grand Slam needed modified Lanc's (B1 Specials) with no bomb bay doors and a chopped fuselage to be carried underneath, the upper dorsal and nose turrets were also removed to save weight. (Edit: just spotted someone else has already pointed this out).

I wish they made the explosion look way bigger. It already has a pretty massive kill radius, but it looks like you exploded a 1000 lb bomb. And it would also be cool if there was a screen shake effect.

[@obsidianjane4413]

When the entire map is "danger close".

[@EvilEndz]

I think the random explosions are either when a player respawns in a new tank, or quits the battle, it triggers the shell of his old tank to go boom or something along those lines as it usually happens shortly after you've killed someone, so if you watch the shell of that tank you should see it happen.

Odd is the literal Jack Horner of TH-camrs “oh a child” doesn’t even hesitates

[@Nate-ub5xk]

FYI the reason they likely added these instead of the tallboy/grand slam is because those bombs required a specialty variant (atleast the grand slam did) of the lancaster produced with stronger engines and no turrets or bomb bay doors, although some sources claim the 8000 and 12000lbs blockbusters themselves could only be carried by certain bulged bomb bay lancasters so its quite odd eitherway.

[@zebulonreynaud919]

if a squad of 4 players all get points for use it at the same time they can nuke a really large part of all the map together, it would be fantastic to see it, even if it can kill most of your own team on some map

[@absurdides]

My lord I'd love to see his perspective when that tall boy landed next to his tank.

IN ORDER TO TAKE OFF IN THIS AIRCRAFT YOU NEED TO EXTEND THE FLAPS

[@oztinc]

You definitely should utilize the replays more often. Would of loved to see that bomb drop in replay camera!

[@hoopchristine5202]

Whenever the game hits you with the “To take off in this aircraft you must use flaps”, you can just double tap your Flaps button and the message promptly fucks off

[@Spacklatard]

The skin on this Lanc is BQ-V 'The Vulture Strikes' PA995 which existed IRL. It flew 100+ sorties with No. 550 Squadron

[@calebwhite5600]

I was laughing so hard when you dropped that bomb right next to that single tank. LOL I can imagine his final thoughts before it exploded. 😂😂😂

[@Antony-jk7rf]

M.O.D: so how big of a bomb you want?

[@LittleKittenTheCaptainGeneral]

When he mentioned the solid shot I had to pause for a while while I cried in the corner for a bit.

[@eventidessoul1963]

the arty does work, its just that there are times when it is invisible. had a game where I suddenly blew up. the kill cam showed an arty bonking my tank on the turret. but there were no incoming arty shells and no orange smoke.

[@bean2349]

Hey odd, I have a vehicle request. Because of the new update, custom loadout filters allow the saab-105 and sk-60 to become much more potent, as they can carry missiles, bombs, and gun pods at once. 8.3 sweden also has a lot of variety, and 7.3 is pretty fun as well. Of course it can be pretty frustrating at times, but I would love to see you try. There is also the new swedish spaa that you can play at 8.3. Thanks for the consideration!
