Contents

Effective damage
This bomb has an explosive power comparable to that of a 3 inch (76 mm) HE shell. Barely enough to destroy anything, even armoured cars and open vehicles, in which case multiple SD10C bombs are needed. The bomb lead indicator compensates the low explosive power of the bomb in arcade battles by allowing for accurate drops.
Comparison with analogues
Give a comparative description of bombs that have firepower equal to this weapon.
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)
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 If the historical reference turns out to be too long, take it to a separate article, taking a link to the article about the weapon and adding a block "/History" (example: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>

Media
Excellent additions to the article would be video guides, screenshots from the game, and photos.
