== Usage in battles ==
<!-- ''Describe situations when you would utilize this bomb in game (vehicle, pillbox, base...etc...'' -->
[[File:BomberImage_F222.2_Carpetbombing.jpg|350px|thumb|right|An [[F.222.2]] carpet bombing AA vehicles with {{PAGENAME}} bombs.]]
Due to the small size of the {{PAGENAME}}, it is not advisable to drop just one at a time. Many of the French bombers can carry between 2 and 52 of these bombs and can cause more damage when dropped en masse over an area also known as "carpet bombing." The lower altitude you drop the bombs from, the less time enemy vehicles (including AI drivers) have to avoid the in-bound bombs. These bombs are effective against:
* AA vehicles
* AAA cannons (non pill-box)
* Enemy aircraft landing or parked on a runway
* Clustered or columns of vehicles

=== Pros and cons ===
<!-- ''Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.'' -->
[[File:BomberImage_F222.2_BellyTurret.jpg|350px|thumb|right|A view of the bombing damage as seen from the [[F.222.2]]'s ventral turret during a bombing run.]]
'''Pros:'''
* Effectively used for carpet bombing lightly or no armoured targets
* Large payload aircraft like [[F.222.2]] and [[N.C.223.3]] can take out columns of AA vehicles in one pass

'''Cons:'''
* Less effective against armoured vehicles, reinforced pillboxes and bases
* Hard to concentrate large amounts of damage with small bombs

== History ==
''Examine the history of the creation and combat usage of the weapon in more detail than in the introduction. If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: <nowiki>https://wiki.warthunder.com/(Weapon-name)/History</nowiki>) and add a link to it here using the <code>main</code> template. Be sure to reference text and sources by using <code><nowiki><ref></ref></nowiki></code>, as well as adding them at the end of the article with <code><nowiki><references /></nowiki></code>.''
