In case something was missed, that is NOT my graph. It was posted by Magpie, and I assume that he got it from somewhere else.
Yes, I agree, the points that mark the apparent power of the various explosives seem a little off (I would think that a two ton bomb would have a wee bit more power than that) and the axes are... confusing... to say the least, but at least it gives us a visual indication of comparative explosive power. The graph clearly shows that the FAB5000 has approximately twice the power of the cookie, and my point is that they share the same effect and I raise the question of the appropriateness of this.
In fact, 4000 pounds is only 1814kg, less than an SC2000 yet with about 10 times the explosive power. Yes, I am aware that allied explosives generally had greater energy than their axis counterparts, but not THAT much, surely?
It would seem that the dev team is unwilling to correct this, thats fine, who am I to question their work. (EDIT: OK, after reading this it sorta sounds like sarcasm. Trust me, it isn't
)
In fact, I COULD point out that the Mk XIV mosquito was never actually constructed, but its a sweet plane and I like having it :wink:
