Hey Odd! Unfortunately the Bomb isn't a Tallboy. It's a Blockbuster bomb. Though both bombs are 12000lbs, the Blockbuster is a HE bomb compared to the Earthquake bomb Tallboy is.
the 12,000lb is the tallboy
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tallboy_(bomb)
@@mikhailjairnisbett441 he is right actually there is are 12,000 lb blockbuster
12,000-lb HC
Mk I
Mk II
The charge weight ratio of 80%. The filling was Amatex or Torpex. 170 were produced in the last two years of the war
@@mikhailjairnisbett441 britain had more than one 12,000lb bomb, that bomb is not the Tallboy, Tallboy had a streamlined casing and was designed as an earthquake bomb instead of surface demolition
@@mikhailjairnisbett441 the tallboy is 12,000 lbs but this 12,000 lbs bomb is not the tall boy it is as they said a blockbuster. This is a high capacity HE bomb while the tallboy can be thought of as an APHE round on steroids. Tallboy has a pointed front and a different fin design. It looks quite similar to a modern bomb in many aspects being very slim for its length.
@@mikhailjairnisbett441 the Tallboy is an armour penetrator hence why it was used to sink Tirpitz. This is just a 12,000lb HE bomb
I wish they made the explosion look way bigger. It already has a pretty massive kill radius, but it looks like you exploded a 1000 lb bomb. And it would also be cool if there was a screen shake effect.
What kind of 1000lb bomb you dropping that has this large effect??? Lmao
@@petrkdn8224 at like 14:55 in the video, the 12000 lb bomb doesnt look like its 12 times as strong as that one, and that was a 1000 lb bomb
@@knightnight72 thats not how explusions work. 12x the mass doesnt mean 12x the radius and visual effect on the enviorment, its more like 3x.
@@JanLovesBmx okay then my bad, but that still doesnt look 3x larger than the 1000 lb
Also I've always thought that explosions in this game were pretty lackluster. It kind of just looks like you kicked up some dirt. When I first started playing the game and I went from 500 lb to 1,000 lb to 2,000 lb bombs I was pretty disappointed to say the least. I think they do it because they use 2d textures, and it would be very obvious how... Fake it looked
14:29 "ohh a child" . I had conflicted feeling lol
That’s what I was thinking💀
Yeah he is “oh a child” then proceeds to the entire crew to red mist
then continues with his day💀
That's not a Tallboy, it's the 12,000 lb HC (High Capacity) aka the Blockbuster bomb. Tallboys were streamlined almost bullet shaped bombs with a cruciform tail that spins it as it falls, accelerating it to just over Mach 1 before impact, it too was 12,000 lb in weight, but had a hardened nose to penetrate deep into the ground (or hardened concrete) before exploding and creating an additional earthquake effect on the target, Tallboy and it's bigger 22,000 lb brother the Grand Slam needed modified Lanc's (B1 Specials) with no bomb bay doors and a chopped fuselage to be carried underneath, the upper dorsal and nose turrets were also removed to save weight. (Edit: just spotted someone else has already pointed this out).
two were dropped on the Tirpitz I believe.
@@Blayda1 more than 2. A lot more than two.
damn, its a shame they removed the turrets too, cause the chopped bomb bay is already a feature in the game. Maybe not on the Lanc, but I know the Welling ton has a payload that chops off the doors
@@Maritimesgestein Many were dropped, 2 hit.
@@geko_acidic some Coastal Command Wimpy's had their doors removed so that instead of bombs they could carry Life Boats that they would drop in the sea for down aircrew etc. An early version of Search and Rescue.
I think the random explosions are either when a player respawns in a new tank, or quits the battle, it triggers the shell of his old tank to go boom or something along those lines as it usually happens shortly after you've killed someone, so if you watch the shell of that tank you should see it happen.
Probably based off of when they respawn or on a timer, intending to simulate ammo cooking off.
its definitely when a player leaves the game all tanks they have died in all explode and disappear from the map
@@waterlemon5434 they dont dissapear
I thought I was just when they respawned
It is actually dead tanks despawning or disappearing.
Odd is the literal Jack Horner of RUclipsrs “oh a child” doesn’t even hesitates
FYI the reason they likely added these instead of the tallboy/grand slam is because those bombs required a specialty variant (atleast the grand slam did) of the lancaster produced with stronger engines and no turrets or bomb bay doors, although some sources claim the 8000 and 12000lbs blockbusters themselves could only be carried by certain bulged bomb bay lancasters so its quite odd eitherway.
It's because Gaijin hasn't implemented AP mechanics for bombs
It is because Gaijin hates anything non-great three.
@@teun911 China, Russia, Germany?
@@themilkman8554 France, Italy and Japan obviously
that isnt true, the 8000 and 12000 bombs are all using the basic 4000lbs bombs welded together, it needs no changes to the bomb bay or aircraft in general
the tallboy also needs to change to the aircraft, its the exact same weight as the 12000lbs HC
the reason gaijin added the HC is simple: it has a larger blast radius
a tallboy only has about 3000lbs of explosives in it as most of its weight is steel and concrete.
My lord I'd love to see his perspective when that tall boy landed next to his tank.
if a squad of 4 players all get points for use it at the same time they can nuke a really large part of all the map together, it would be fantastic to see it, even if it can kill most of your own team on some map
You definitely should utilize the replays more often. Would of loved to see that bomb drop in replay camera!
and a close up of the tanks flying everywhere
I would but it kept crashing my game. Something broke with the patch. It took me like 3 hours to find that but for the intro.
When the entire map is "danger close".
I was laughing so hard when you dropped that bomb right next to that single tank. LOL I can imagine his final thoughts before it exploded. 😂😂😂
IN ORDER TO TAKE OFF IN THIS AIRCRAFT YOU NEED TO EXTEND THE FLAPS
Whenever the game hits you with the “To take off in this aircraft you must use flaps”, you can just double tap your Flaps button and the message promptly fucks off
Anyone else want Gaijin to un-fix the PE-8 mini nuke when it killed everything in its blast radius, regardless of terrain or buildings? Just for the fun?
no
Yes! Although i never play that plane but i love to see it when others do it, so much fun!
Yes that'd be cool also look at my pfp
It's me when I use the 12000 lbs bomb with the Lancaster
@chanui y not?
The skin on this Lanc is BQ-V 'The Vulture Strikes' PA995 which existed IRL. It flew 100+ sorties with No. 550 Squadron
Thanks I was wondering about that will be getting that asap
When he mentioned the solid shot I had to pause for a while while I cried in the corner for a bit.
Hey odd, I have a vehicle request. Because of the new update, custom loadout filters allow the saab-105 and sk-60 to become much more potent, as they can carry missiles, bombs, and gun pods at once. 8.3 sweden also has a lot of variety, and 7.3 is pretty fun as well. Of course it can be pretty frustrating at times, but I would love to see you try. There is also the new swedish spaa that you can play at 8.3. Thanks for the consideration!
Oh no way! I didn't notice that, thank you for the reminder. 8.3 Players will tremble in fear
@@rettichdergeile9361 bei mir auch so… ich habe die SAAB 105 schon vorher gemocht, aber wenn man jetzt noch Custom loadout machen kann noch besser
REALLY? Hell yes, my favorite planes just got even better, I’m so glad you told us
It irritates me how Gaijoob nerfs shit into oblivion which has zero reason to be nerfed, while conversely finding any excuse to buff Russia.
And to those who say there isn't any such thing as Russian Bias, it''s been proven via hidden values discovered by data miners so I don't want to hear it.
Tbf, they either "play ball" or find a short trip out of a tall window like many gopniks are these days.
Agree
First time in a while Odd hasn't had to photoshop the thumbnail to set home how odd or op or small or big something is. It's just huge.
Regarding the solid shot performance - one would ask why did the British engineers decide against a HE filler. Actually, they found that HE filler causes little extra damage over the full solid AP but degrades penetration performane significantly. The latter being modeled in game properly, the former... well... not so much. Surprisingly, APFSDS spalls like mad, but AP spalls even less than APFS it would seem.
TL;DR: Yeah, there has to be something wrong.
M.O.D: so how big of a bomb you want?
British air force: Yes
the arty does work, its just that there are times when it is invisible. had a game where I suddenly blew up. the kill cam showed an arty bonking my tank on the turret. but there were no incoming arty shells and no orange smoke.
I like how you wipe out half of the team and then complain that nobody is left.😂😂😂
These sorts of bombers are so toxic imo - 5x kills right in the enemy spawn mid match? Fun and engaging gameplay.
Hi OddBawz, I wanted to say how much we appreciate your content. Hands down it is the very best channel. I do have a request if time allows you, I can only begin to imagine how long it must take to do your videos.
I have watched how you fly the planes and your understanding of the engages you take. Would it be possible if you could make a series of videos explaining what you are doing and why? to help teach us to become better.
In the video if you could pause it and maybe add annotation marks explaining how you deal with the engages or if a plane is on your six how you deal with it. A view of an incoming plane and what maneuverers you make and why. I know it is a lot to ask but my god how interesting and helpful it would be, a dedicated series of videos to help us all get a lot better.
Hope you have a fantastic week and look forward to your fantastic channel.
So far OddBawz is my go to WarThunder channel. I watch a little Phyldaily and Nukenus. Learned how to play the game mostly just from watching OddBawz
OddBaw (and Phly and TEC and pretty much all YT guys)
*clears half the enemy team, scouts the other half*
takes the heavy bomber
"oh, there is no more enemy left, i wonder what happened"
... yeah.. its a damn mystery for sure...
:D
Did any one else heard Tomboy in 0:09
Love the blast radius. Took it out yesterday and was not disappointed. The visual blast though....it's a bit underwhelming. Looks like any other bomb in the game and it makes no noise. I wish there was a huge shockwave and a crack/rumble like in real life. Then a fireball and a smoke cloud that lasts for longer than other bombs. The explosion should be huge!
Look at the explosion at 14:52 . It actually looks bigger than the 12000lb bomb even though it's just a 1000lb going off
Playing Britain is a Rollercoaster of emotions for me. And what I assume having a stroke feels like.
Regarding the random explosions at 11:35, dead enemies sometimes randomly explode again way after their death for some reason, it's been like this for a while now.
I thought that was the corpses of dead players that finally leave the match
@@zacharyprovance3128 Kinda, its if they leave or they respawn
When I saw your name post the screen in the THC discord earlier today I had to double-take
THC is indeed a bunch of good people and very solid players.
love your content!

18:36 i love how a teammate pinged that guy right before the area was completely leveled
Can’t wait for Phly’s ah ah photoshopped blockbuster with lancaster wings, tail and cockpit
Me having fun in my little sherman
The 12000 Lbs bomb 30m above me:
not sure if anyone noticed, but 25:17 the arty destoryed the M18 right in front of Odd

Yessir
It's not the Tallboy it's a blockbuster/Cookie.
Those random explosions you keep seeing are the destroyed tanks despawning. It has been in the game for a while now.
124th try, please play the T-80 (light tank) and T-28e in USSR 2.3 br, they are fun and you have no videos in both tanks. The T-28e is in the folder of T-28
23:44 THE MOMENT HE STARTED TO DIVE INTO THAT M18 SPOTIFY RANDOMLY RECOMENDED STARMAN BY DAVID BOWIE LMAO
OddBawZ: I thought I killed him
Also Odd: Aw a child (completely obliterates the child)
Just seeing that bomb makes my sphincter pucker up....
14:31 "Oh a child" proceeds to fire 77mm Shell
21:46 "It's another Peter Jackson."
Not a massive lol, but it did make me smile.
I can't wait until they add the 22,000 pound Grand Slam bomb for the lancaster.
Finally they added a cammo for a british bomber!!
6:15 and it should be , the reason for it being so deadly is that airfield camping wont happen , instead airspawn camping will happen
About 2 decades ago I rode in the Canadian Lancaster at the Museum in Hamilton.
And by Rode, I mean I GOT TO RIDE IN THE TAIL GUNNERSEAT AS WE CRUISED HIGH AND TREETOP LEVEL FOR 2 HOURS
Oddbawz: Oh look a child
Also Oddbawz: BOOM 💥
Odd you should try slam-dunking the Blockbuster!
14:29
Him:
Looks to the left: oh a child
Also him: Proceeds to murder without hesitation
oh i cannot WAIT for the modified lancaster with the grandslam, it will be INCREDIBLE
This bomb is actually better (by WT gameplay) since it has wayyyy higher TNT to weight ratio
Hey Odd, i dont really play WT, but i love your vids, theyre super chill, many thanks :)
Why is the PE-8 so much lower BR, slightly slower but much better defensive armament and similar payload. And in a downtier costs me 790sp with the 5000.
Not only has Gajin messed up the flight number of the Lancaster as it was known for being able to turn and handle very well for a plane it's size, but the extra 1000 kg tnt equivalent of the blockbuster compared to fab seems to do nothing.
Russian bias
You do realize the explosions scale according to logarithmic dependence? The extra 1000kg on a big bomb will do much less difference than extra 100kg on a lesser bomb
Also, the Lancaster and pe-8 have less that 1br difference between them, which is effectively nothing if we're talking about aircraft in ground battles (the only place this thing can be used)
And, the Lancaster, while having weaker (in terms of caliber) armament, has *much* more ammo that pe-8 (4-8 times more, depending on the gunner). I think it's pretty balanced as it is right now
Not TNT (Trinitrotoluene), the Tallboy and Grand Slam bombs used Torpex (Torpedo Explosive) which had a significant admixture of aluminium powder, to slow down the explosion, increase the 'heave' when under ground or water, and to make nice white flash when detonating. ;-)
The bomb in the vid however, the High Capacity 12,000 lb used the normal blast explosive, fused as it was to explode as soon as it struck anything, as it was intended to demolish buildings in cities, and not stick in the ground like a lawn dart.
The word 'blockbuster' was used before WWII by US journalists to describe the then-new 1,000 lb bomb intended for the B-17 and B24 bombers.
@@stevetheduck1425 TNT equivalent I didn't say that their fillers were actually TNT. But to measure you comparative explosive power you give the TNT equivalent.
This update feels amazing, better APDS, Better airfield AAA and many interesting vehicles.
And broken artillery.
@@sumit.24 I mean it is War Thunde we are talking about ofcourse there are gonna be bugs with each new update.
I was on the receiving end of one of these today...I forgot they had put it into the game until my poor T-34-85 was vaporized.
18:47
Newspaper boy throw accuracy with a 12,000 pounder.
I’m wondering how drunk Gaijin had to have been when they created the flight model for the Lancaster? It let you LOOP a Lancaster!! Wow.
Ive had so much fun today doing just this today - Concept 3 and 12k
18:47 - Gone, reduced to atoms. 😂
14:26 "Ah, a child"
*shoots without hesitation*
Fun Fact: although its blockbuster. the real Tallboy was the bomb that sank the German battleship Tirpitz
I think the obvious next step is to get Phly and the rest of the crew and turn the entire map into a crater.
I'm dah biggest bird (that drops bombs anyways.) I knew this would be the next thing.
"Oh a child."
OddBawZ proceeds to smack the child with a round the size of it: 14:29.
Great upload, it has been nice watching you all these years from 2019/2020 until now.
Can't wait to see the "Tigor Tonk" plush on makeship! Prolly gonna get it!
At the 12:00 min mark I noticed the new John Deere Tractor cannon going to harvest mosquito's lol
This man took off with no flaps?! What a legend
Crazy to think i downloaded war thunder because i wanted the halifax over 6 years ago and i still play semi-regularly to this day
'We can complain about the Lancaster being a really bad plane' *Spits tea* HOW DARE
...Memes aside, another great vid - Stoppled playing WT long ago around the time they added helis but always enjoy your commentary and obvious skill
Got killed by this. Didn’t even know there was a bomb this big until now. Needless to say I’m researching Britain now
Imagine if they added the daisy cutter.
15,000 lbs of pure freedom.
It’s called the daisy cutter because it was meant to forcefully clear a landing area for helicopters. It was the biggest conventional bomb ever until the MOAB showed up.
I don’t care if the bomb would realistically do nothing to tanks. I don’t care if the bomb couldn’t be dropped from anything in the game right now. I want it for dramatic effect if nothing else.
"Aw child" *projectile enters child aggressively*
" if he starts MGing me the whole team will turn around" I bloody wish that was the case, the amount of times I've had like 3/4 people ignore a flancker that I'm lighting up
Gaijin really needs to fix the shrapnel with solid shoot and actually give the APHE its proper explosion cone.
The pe-8’s reign of terror is over! Finally some proper memes for the Brits! Also I wanted to thank you for doing a video on the Nashorn!
“Ah a child” proceeds to wipe it off the face of the earth 😂
I don't play anymore. But love what you do. You are hilarious. If that bomb hit near a tank, it would be shot into orbit.
Actually it probably wouldn't do much. They set off a low yield nuke at very close range in a test vs a centurion and whilst it would have killed the crew and it tore some of the armour plate off, the engine only stopped because it ran out of fuel and ti was upright if pushed a few feet sideways.
@Siberian Snake a 9.1 kiloton nuclear weapon has a blast radius of several miles, they put it 450 meters away.
14:29 Oh a child 💥
"Ah, child."
_Proceeds to pull the trigger._
Me after update: Sees Lancaster
BG Music: *Tanc a Lelek Intensifies*
14:29
Odd: Aww, child.
Also Odd, Proceeds to kill
I am not sure if anybody in the comments section has said this. But besides the fact that this isn't Tallboy but a 12,000 lb. Blockbuster bomb which is a much bigger version of that 4,000lb. bomb British bombers in this game have, the Tallboy bomb will only be useful against large ships in this game. Tallboy's strength is both in its explosive power and its really high penetration capabilities. That would work against warships, bunkers and anything similar to that. But if it's only used to bomb tanks and other land vehicles, this bomb's penetration capabilities are pretty much useless and its earthquake effect won't do much against them either. Its explosive power would probably only equal the 4,000 lb Blockbuster bomb. It makes sense they gave the British bombers the 12,000 lb Blockbuster bomb which is also a frightening bomb in its own right as well.
"Oh, child"
*ZERO HESITATION*
Kinda funny how they nerfed and buffed rounds. Vickers Mk3 at 8.0 got its standard apds nerfed from 280mm to 265mm pen and the FV4202 at 7.0 got its apds buffed from like 270mm pen to 380mm pen
Conquereror went from like 360 to 480mm lmao
Finally! I can REALLY trigger spookstom with this BRI'ISH bombad bazoonger
I yesterday dropped the Blockbuster straight into an ASU-57
Ketchup is the best…I wouldn’t consider it, uhm DEFAULT!
a big downside of this gigantic barrel of tea is, if there are trees around the airfield *you cannot take off* even with flaps and wep, it dosent get enough lift to get into the sky before the end of the runway and you smack straight into the trees
I died twice yesterday to artillery and it didn't render the smoke nor the falling shells or even the explosion. Not even in the replay. Artillery is definitely broken in this patch.
HOME TOWN BABY! built right here in Windsor Ontario Canada!
Three crew of the Na-To are in a very human form in X-Ray.
Might as well carry a B61 Mod 7 dial a yield device. Set at airburst 10KT, lob it over and run away.
12:30 might just be luck but i always used to wonder how my friend got kills with arty so often once while i was streaming my game he told me to put the arty in such a way that the center isnt on the tank but next to it , and after he told me and i did it it actually works and it has been working since the last 4 days like this
Now we'll have to scream "OH SHIT IS THAT A LANCASTER" instead of "OH SHIT IS THAT A PE8"
18:43 Unfortunately you were in team chat not All chat when you messaged Deadmeat.
Holy hell, you are absolutely hauling booty cheers in the armored vehicle lol.
Oddbawz you gotta take out the Conway or Conqueror. They buffed the L1G 120mm APDS that almost pens 500mm of armor :))))
Also the Centurion mk,10 and the 7.7 Vickers have had their apds buffed too but at the cost of making the 8.0 Vickers mk.3 pointless and the neutering of both the chieftain mk.3 and mk.5.
@@crazyadam9281 I noticed that the M60A1 got a buff with its round but the M60AOS got nerfed hard for its APDS
best bug of the patch, flarakrad only having 2 shots, because it's not reloading
Fun fact : The Lancaster was the choice to deliver the A-bombs since they could carry it's weight and then some. But they did not have the feul from Tinian island and Japan and back. So they chose the B-29 Superfortress instead then.
