Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of bombs that have firepower equal to this weapon.
Usage in battles
The SC1800B is best used against bases in air RB. In air RB, there are 2 different kinds of base HP standard and double HP. The SC1800B can destroy a standard HP base by itself while you'll need 2 x 1,800 kg bombs to destroy the double HP base. These bombs can also be useful in mixed ground battles, as they will knock out any vehicle within a 10-20 m radius with their large explosive mass. Beware of friendly fire incidents however.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Great for high altitude bombing as its large blast radius means you can still destroy the target even if you miss
- Great for air battles as it will destroy most bases with only one bomb without the need of a second pass or the risk of some bombs not hitting the target
Cons:
- Very few planes can carry such a bomb, making it quite rare to see in mixed ground battles
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
