Description
The SD10C was a German anti-personnel bomb, mainly used as a sub-munition in cluster bombs.
The grooves seen on the bomb's body ensured good fragmentation, similar to the Mk 2 "pineapple" hand grenade of the US.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
General info
Bomb characteristics | |
---|---|
Mass | 10 kg |
Explosive mass | 0.75 kg |
Explosive type | TNT |
TNT equivalent | 0.75 kg |
HE max penetration | 11 mm |
Destruction radius | N/A |
Fragment dispersion radius | 16 m |
Effective damage
This bomb has an explosive power comparable to that of a 3 inch/76mm HE shell. Its penetration of 11 mm of steel is somewhat not true as it is possible to kill targets with a direct hit to the roof or sides if you are lucky
Comparison with analogues
The only weapon(s) that can be can be comparable with this bomb is the AO-25M-1 (25kg) or a 75mm or above HE shell
Usage in battles
this bomb would be almost useless if it was not mounted on a Bi-plane (He 51 C-1), as this gives you you the maneuverability to score direct hits on targets. It is most effective to either go into a 90 degree dive onto a tank and drop 2-3 bombs on their roof or do a flyover on a tank and drop 3-6 bombs.(Make sure to use a fuse of 0.5-1 second!) Also you will find it is more then adequate to deal with enemy planes with its maneuverability, although its 7.62mm guns are just ok and useless against bombers and it is very fragile
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Light and easy for new players to learn how to use ground attack weapons.
- A direct hit on most light to medium tanks should destroy the tank
- Great maneuverability to deal with single with planes or avoid AA fire
Cons:
- Bombs require some skill to score consistent direct hits on tanks
