Apollo11 -> RE: Name This...(315 Special Edation) (2/22/2005 4:22:41 PM)
Hi all, quote: ORIGINAL: steveh11Matrix Also, don't forget that the RAF used precision munitions anyway - Tallboys and Grand Slams! Steve. What do you mean "precision munition"? As far as I know those were just ordinary iron bombs (but _MUCH_ bigger than standard ones) and they were droped from high altitude by expert crews to achieve max penetration... Leo "Apollo11"

Leo "Apollo11" Modern laser guided precision bombs are straight iron bombs with the 'added value' of guidance packages essentially strapped on... I guess that in the case of 617 and 9 Squadrons the 'added value' would be the aircrew skill. [:)] More seriously, I agree that you have correctly characterised them - but the accuracy achieved was remarkable. Steve.

So far as I'm aware the WitP PGM model doesn't work. Steve.

Is there a model for skip bombing which seems to work? Isn't it really just a play on the weapon accuracy derived from the weapon/device part of the database??? Hmmm.[&:]

Cap, you should be sure to add the following disclaimer: "No pigeons were harmed in the production of this comic. Maneuvers were performed by a professional pilot on a closed course. Do not try this at home."

There was a movie a few years ago that had the disclaimer "Only a few animals were injured in filming this movie". EDIT: Okay, okay, they did it for laughs. Later on in the credits, they said "We were only joking. No animals were harmed, etc."

Maneuvers were performed by a professional pilot on a closed course. Do not try this at home. PS..they taste like chicken [;)]

Unfortunately I can't recall the reference

For some reason, the authorities didn't take him seriously... those bombs were actually built and worked better than the early radar guided ones.. I could actually see that working, but first you would have to acquire a ship profile in the targeting screen for the pigeon to activate and start pecking on the target / control screen. Seems like that would require a dive bomber to release the "pigeon bomb" with the target already in the sights. What an absolutely fascinating thread! You guys continue to amaze me with your knowledge! [&o]
