Is there any benefit in taking bigger bombs if the total explosive mass is smaller?
In War thunder bombers can be improved to carry bigger bombs. But sometimes bigger bombs means a smaller total explosive mass.
For example on the Italian BR.20 DR you can take 4*250kg instead 12*100kg.
It is an improvement in the research tree but to me taking the big bombs seems worse than the small ones.
I would have less explosive mass if I want to bomb bases and it would be more difficult to bomb a long line of vehicles, so is there any benefits in taking these bigger bombs ?
Best Answer
This depends on your strat for the bombing. If you know you are precise with your bombs and you feel you are able to get them off in time, take the bigger bombs. However, if you are having problems with accuracy or want to bomb vehicles as you said, I would recommend medium-small bombs. I would not use those from altitude though.

But a hydrogen bomb has the potential to be 1,000 times more powerful than an atomic bomb, according to several nuclear experts.Is there any benefit in atomic bomb?
Here are studies which show increased health in Japanese survivors of atomic bombs. Parameters include decreased mutation, leukemia and solid tissue cancer mortality rates, and increased average lifespan. Each study exhibits a threshold that repudiates the LNT dogma.What is the useful limit of a nuclear bomb?
Yield limits According to nuclear-weapons designer Ted Taylor, the practical maximum yield-to-mass ratio for fusion weapons is about 6 megatons of TNT per metric ton (25 TJ/kg). The "Taylor limit" is not derived from first principles, and weapons with yields as high as 9.5 megatons per metric ton have been theorized.This is the BOMB to worry about
