Boiler Thickness - sutts - 13.07.2009

I think you'll find your typical bolier thickness figures of 11-12cm are way off.
Anything from 3/8" to 1 1/4" would be more realistic. That's 0.95cm to 3.17cm.

I too have seen plenty of gun camera footage showing browning 50 cal equiped aircraft blowing boilers with the accompanying great plume of smoke/steam straight up in the air. The rounds may have been armour piercing but the guns were standard 50s.

I've also read several P-47 veteran accounts describing how blowing the boiler was the first task to achieve and how rewarding it was seeing the dramatic steam plume as the engine slowed to a halt.

We'd be missing a trick if brownings were incapable of killing a locomotive boiler.

Just my 2 cents....

I think the pressure inside the boiler is too high and something who doesn't penetrate but modifies the boiler's structure already causes an explosion because the high pressure inside it.
Five men died near my work place, the cause was a wrong control of pressure of a industrial boiler resulting in an explosion.

My 2 cents.

Amazing mod, thank you. hock:
