Hey Gents,

I'm wondering which object can be placed (as a target) that makes the biggest explosion when bombed?

A Mistel will do it, but use a "live" one -

0 fuel
0 alt
0 speed

Set takeoff and 1 other waypoint , then drag to target area (will fit in one of the larger pacific hangars)

LOL I remeber once I was showing IL2 to one of my friends (who is an airline pilot IRL), so I set up a few hangars for him to blow up with rockets on P-38. Of course I didn't tell him that there is a live mistel hidden in one of the hangars.

Only problem is that using the Pe8 as a target is that as a "piloted" AI it will either attempt to take off and crash or if zero fuel it will simply de-spawn after the crew bails. Identical explosive effect to Mistel (more points for a kill tho' - if that really bothers you)

Pity really that the V2 object doesn't have explosive properties.

Two simple follow up questions:

1. what exactly is a "mistel"?

2. how does one find it amongst the object list?

Thanx! Winky

A mistel is essentially a medium bomber filed with explosives w/o crew that is guided by an accached fighter.

Hehe, pity you didn't sat a carrier somewhere close to that giant mushroom just to give scale.

However, it could barely be compared to nuke. The weakest nukes (Russian briefcase version, or American DavyCrockett gun) have (better: had) output of about 10 or 20 tons of TNT. Mistel carried (IIRC) 1,800 kg (~4.000 lbs) of TNT. Some 10 times less.

The weakest tactical thermonuclear nukes today (say, B-61) can achieve output as low as .3 kT - but that's still 300 tons of TNT (!!!).

Actually, I started to wonder which does a bigger explosion: a Mistel or FAB5000 11.000lbs bomb dropped from Pe8? AFAIK Mistel had a shaped charge for penetrating thick layers of concrete and almost three times less explosive, so it should have considerably smaller mushroom compared to general purpose FAB5000 bomb. Don't have the sim installed atm so I can't check.

It's in the Aircraft list, not the object list.

For a more restrained and/or more scalable effect, a couple of the train carriages are "filled" with armaments or fuel and give a nice big bang. The bang is big enough to set of the carriage next to it as well, so if you put a lot of them right next each other in a hangar the effect is proportional to the number of train carriages Big Grin

The pe-8's 5000kg bomb explosion looks the same as the mistel, but once I was feeling evil and so I launched a mistel at a pe-8 parked on the ground with a live 5000kg bomb in it! Demonic


achtung spitfuer!!!

I used that bomb when I made this movie. I tried to make it look like a real- nuke.
(It's at about 4:44)
