General info

The GP 100T bomb is the most common bomb on Italian aircraft from ranks I to IV, it is a multipurpose bomb since half of its weight is pure TNT making it a great choice for bombing bases or attacking ground targets.

Effective damage

The GP 100T bomb weighs 100 kg with 50.6 kg of TNT and an armour destruction radius of 5 metres and 100 metres of fragmentation damage.

Comparison with analogues

This bomb is similar to the American 250 lb AN-M57 bomb, which has an armour destruction radius of 4 metres and 103 metres of fragmentation damage.

Usage in battles

Air battles

It's not the best bomb to destroy bases but is usually the stock loadout for bombers. It is more suited for soft (AA emplacement, artillery position, MG nest) and lightly-armoured ground targets (tanks, light pillboxes), making it best suited for attackers.

Mixed battles

It small weight makes it an option for fighters. This allows to perform ground attack and then focus on air superiority. Attackers can carry several GP 100T bombs.

Pros and cons

Summarise and briefly evaluate the weaponry in terms of its characteristics and combat effectiveness. Mark pros and cons as a list.

Pros:

Can be carried by fighters, making a viable option for ground attack in mixed battles

Cons:

Small explosive mass

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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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

Media

Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.

External links

Paste links to sources and external resources, such as:
