Effective damage
This bomb has an explosive power comparable to that of a 3 inch/76mm HE shell. Barely enough to destroy anything, even armoured cars and open vehicles, in which case multiple SD10C bombs are needed.
Comparison with analogues
The only bomb that can be can be comparable is the AO-25M-1 (25kg).
Usage in battles
Because of the extremely small weight of the bomb, it is only effective against extremely lightly armoured targets, such as the GAZ-AAA (4M), or the 15cm sIG 33 B Sfl.
Pros and cons
Pros:
- Light and easy for new players to learn how to use ground attack weapons.
- Effective against soft targets (AA, Artillery, open vehicles)
Cons:
- Payload too small to even inflict damage to armoured targets (pillboxes, tanks).
