750, 1000 and 1500kg bombs

[marsh slate]

we need bigger bombs that aren't nuclear (because until it reaches tactical we only have the Pab-80, 250, GPO 500, Auger and demo bomb) RN its pretty limited with conventional bombs with of course, only 5 different non-nuclear bombs.

Demo bomb on darkreach:

[marsh slate]

counter point, how many times have you seen someone use a demo bomb in an escalation mission

[wild spoke]

None because i dont play multiplayer, 1 if you count me

[tawdry elm]

I tried but I have feeling that its not worth it
because its huge easy to hit bomb, that cant tank a lot of hits, and explode almost like munition container

[marsh slate]

exactly, thats why a 750, 1000, and 1500lb bomb would be good, cause they aint the size of a house

[severe wadi]

You already have 1000lb bomb... same goes for 500lb.
Is there any particular reason to get 750s?
Just to have more bombs? Just to create one more suggestion?

I mean it makes sense when we will get faction aircrafts with their unique ordnance. But not like plenty bombs i need to go past while trying to get my pablo/arad on the pylon.

[marsh slate]

I never said 500lbs? I said 1500 lbs, also isn’t the demo bomb like 11 tons or something (I don’t remember the weight measurement of it because no one uses it)

Counterpoint: Why?

[severe wadi]

1500s... do you understand that you will probably get them as much as we have augers now?
Any idea how to make me use those over any other bombs?

So 1500s are less in number, 1500s aren't BB, 1500s are generally worse except HP.
What exactly do we need them for?

[upper fox]

One crappy "big" bomb vs 3 Pablos...

Not even a contest....

[severe wadi]

I mean YEAH, that's why least of us using demobomb.

[upper fox]

Peeps dont use demobomb because they dont fly darkreach, I don't use demobomb cuz I get double the bomb for half the price via Taran Ammo containers

[severe wadi]

Still fair.

[marsh slate]

Counterpoint, you get multiple big bombs with a bigger blast radius, with a 750 or even 1000, you can carry more than one. Even then, because it has a big blast radius you only need one, as long as your targets are grouped together you can use one and save the other 5 or so for later, they would be good at destroying most things too because unlike the demo bomb (which I’m pretty sure is thermobaric) these ones are just straight bomb, which means they can destroy structures and other more fortified things somewhat better

[upper fox]

I don't recall anything but darkreach that can carry that much mass of 500s.

Let alone 1000s.

You likely would have 2. Not 6.

[severe wadi]

1000lb are equal to 500kg we have now.
Just tell me how do you put more of the same bombs in the same weapon bay?
Same for 1500lb, we have 800kg Auger.

[marsh slate]

Listen, it’s pretty late for me so I messed some things up, I kinda meant to put kg but my dumbass put lbs

750, 1000 and 1500kg bombs

[severe wadi]

Ok. Now i see, so just bigger bombs in general?
Kinda fine with that.
Still not much sense to have bigger bomb for a convoy, more like for reinforced buildings, yet again ... Auger.
Idk.

[marsh slate]

Yes but big boom. Cinematic boom one might say

[upper fox]

Nukes? Demobomb? Ammo container?

[marsh slate]

These are for the conventional period, demobomb is kinda ass, and if you can aim with an ammo container you have got secret knowladge

[upper fox]

I guess I have secret knowledge then, imo its not a hard thing to "feel" out the aiming for.

But most players I run into probably couldnt afford a darkreach to carry these bombs until the Tactical Nuke Era anyways.

[marsh slate]

But that’s the best part, it’s not just for the dark reach,it’s for the ifrit and maybe some for the revoker (like, 4 750s or 2 1000s) and one or two 750s for the compass (maybe the 1000)

[upper fox]

Why would you stick anything bigger than a GPO on a Compass when the GPO isnt even used in most cases....?

[marsh slate]

Idk, cinematic or somethin
