how many boms to destroy a base

[Velia]

i need to know what rank 3 of bommers that can destroy multiple base at 1 take off
without rearming on airfield

this is the forward base not the airfield of the enemy
the one who have 4 base at each start of a match

depends on what nation your using if your playing US or great Britain then about 6.000 lb. everyone else will vary depending on the type of explosives in their bombs for example Germany needs about 2,000-3,000 kg to destroy a base where as say russia will only need a few 500 kg to take out multiple bases and sweden only needs like 3 or so 600 kg bombs to kill a base.

i find it best to experiment with bomb loads to see how many bombs you need for 1 base so that if you carry more bombs than needed for one base then you excess bombs can either be used for another base or other ground targets.

typically, about 5-6 250s will do it, 3-4 500s will do it, 2 1000 pounders can do it. Anything above that is a one shot.

2x 2000LB 1x500LB to take out a base

Did they nerf bomb payloads? Or is that just how screwy the damage numbers are between the bombs of different nationalities?

thats what it takes for me at 10.3 america to bomb a base. i can destroy 3 bases as an a-10 if i sacrifice one AAM for a 500lb

It's more complicated than you think. Base destruction is factored on a set total of TNT, which is not the same as the weight of any particular bomb. So you will see that a single 1000kg bomb will take more out of a base than 4x 250kg BUT even this is not a hard and fast rule as not all bombs have the same TNT to overall weight factor. e.g Japenese naval bombs generally have a very low TNT to weight factor

Total TNT tonnage required to destroy a base also factors with the BR of the match. I think the total needed at BR 5.0 is something like 1.4 tons of TNT but this factors up and down as the the BR with something like 700kg of TNT at around BR 2.3-2.7

On top of all this, not all bases are the same. There is the standard respawning base (4 per map) which the figures above are relevant to, but there are the 'small' bases, generally 3 per map that don't respawn with airfield target(s) afterwards, these take about half as much TNT to destroy BUT there are exceptions e.g. on Malta the 3 bases can be full fat ones that need the full tonnage to destroy.

TLDR; It's complicated. It's based on TNT tonnage not bomb weight. It changes with BR. Experiment to find out what you need.

i play 4 nation that reach rank 3, any option of the bommers that can do it
my 4 nation is USA, USSR, GERMANY , and lastly , JAPAN
i have all rank 3 bommers on that 4 nation, but sometimes i dont know what bommers to destroy a base

because i not max all of the bommers, i play that bommers and when i got enough rp to get the next bommer i didnt play the bommers before that

thank you for reading
