Description
N-M65 4000lb bomb for the U.S., biggest bomb in the U.S.A game (current) Is a general-purpose bomb an air-dropped bomb intended as a compromise between blast damage, penetration, and fragmentation in explosive effect. Are designed to be effective against enemy troops, vehicles, and buildings.
Vehicles equipped with this weapon
- B-29A-BN
General info
Effective damage
Explosive type: Tritonal (Tritonal is a mixture of 80% TNT and 20% aluminium powder)
Comparison with analogues
One of the bombs similar to this is the H.C. Mk.II (4,000 lb) from England.
Usage in battles
Basically due to the destructive power this bomb can be used to destroy tanks (light, medium, heavy), ships and base bombing.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Massive explosive mass means precision is not needed
- 54 m lethal radius
- Fragment dispersion radius is large enough to kill un-armoured targets from way beyond the lethal range for armoured targets
Cons:
- Low altitude bombing is almost impossible due to the explosion being enough to kill the B29A-BN if it is too close.
- Without proper communication, teammates are at high risk of being killed by the bomb
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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.
