Description
The 50 kg D.T. No.2 is a French bomb made in forged steel. The tail consists of four vanes fastened to the tail cone, strengthened between the vanes by sheet metal struts. It's mainly yellow, with markings painted on the body, about the type of filling, year of filling, source and "F de culot" (for "Fusée de culot", meaning "Tail fuse")
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
| Bomb characteristics | |
|---|---|
| Mass | 55.7 kg |
| Explosive mass | 19 kg |
| Explosive type | DD |
| TNT equivalent | 17.86 kg |
| HE max penetration | 64 mm |
| Armour destruction radius | 2 m |
| Fragment dispersion radius | 60 m |
Effective damage
Describe the type of damage produced by this type of bomb (high explosive, splash damage, etc)
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of bombs that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
The D.T. N°2 is a small bomb with relatively small explosive mass, so it's not advised to drop just one at a time. However, its small size means a lot will be able to be carried into battle, allowing to perform carpet bombing, launching multiple bombs over an area to maximise the damage.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Can be carried in large quantities
- Effective in CAS as it often meets reserve vehicles
Cons:
- Almost useless if used individually
- Less effective against heavy pillboxes and armoured vehicles
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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 />.
