A selection of early bombs.

44.0k PlanesOfOld  8.4 years ago

These were hard to make as i couldnt find much about the types of bombs used pre 1918 and i had to spend about an hour trawling through a few museum sites to find dimensions and pictures. These are all of accurate weights and sizes, can you tell what one I made in a hurry?

FROM LEFT TO RIGHT:

100IB British mid-WW1 Hales bomb

20IB(actually weighed 18IB) British early WW1 Hales bomb

50KG Prufanstalt und Werft der Fliergertruppe Pre-WW1 German bomb (first ever arieal bomb made in germany)

20IB Cooper British WW1 Bomb carried by most british planes throughout the conflict.

112IB RL HE British late WW1 bomb

If you like these I may make some WW2 bombs by country and a TON of different nuke designs (planning an 'evoloution of the Fat Man Mk3 nuke')


so as always
ENJOY!

And tag me if you use them!

    @PlanesOfOld Oh lol.

    I think "Bat" would be pretty nice though.

    As in the Bat anti-ship glide bomb. America's radar-guided Fritz-X.

    @PlanesOfOld I wouldn't exactly call the Fritz-X "useless and impractical", given that it was able to put several capital ships out of commission.

    @Pilotmario Yes i will be adding the weird experimental weapons, however useless and impractical they are.
