The Vickers Victory Bomber was a British design for a superheavy bomber during the early days of WWII, intended to carry the Earthquake bomb. It would have had a payload capacity of 9,979kg (a single bomb), a speed of 566km/h and a serive ceiling of 14,000m. It would have been powered by 6 engines and had a wingspan of 52 meters; length of 29 meters. The design was abandoned, since the RAF estimated that it would not be complete before the end of the war. A mockup was constructed and is now displayed at the Brooklands Museum.

Note: a few variants were proposed, these can be either separate aircraft or advanced customizations. C1 (Shown on mockup), C2 (same as C1, but double tail), and C-3 without a main vertical stabilizer (they were placed on the wings) and with the elevators near the nose of the aircraft.

Basically it is very heavy and powerful, and must be dropped from a high altitude. This causes it to reach a very high speed and lodge itself deep underground. Then it explodes causing seismic waves.
