Title: What we need to stop dolphin diving!
Post by: Ranger on December 20, 2005, 03:50:59 PM
I'm an avid reader of Jane's Defence Weekly - and here's a must for BF2 for you fly-boys!

Quote"Future bomb concepts, for service entry late in this decade or after 2010, are under study in the US...The 13.6 tonne weapon measures 6 m long and contains a 2.7 tonne explosive charge. It is expected to penetrate as much as 60 m through 5,000 psi reinforced concrete and features short-span wings and trellis-type tails..."

Sorry - no demo movies yet...

Ranger's useless infoburp: The British Air Force used the 22,000lb 'Grand Slam' bomb during WWII. It was designed by Barnes Wallis - of Dambuster bomb fame.

The Grand Slam weighed about 10 tonnes but measured 7.7 m long. And had 9,135 lbs of high explosives!

One of these per bunny hoper/dolphin diver should suffice!

One of those per map would probably do it!

I saw recently on Discovery the show of the dambusters and it was way cool to see.
Here's a picture of how it works:
