Some very interesting information about the "Tallboy" bomb can be found at Wiki....

Design, targets, results, mission losses...

I don't think you would want to be around when one of these baby's went off..

The sinking of the Tirpitz is especially interesting, the amount of direct hits....

I expected the blast to be bigger, even from underwater.

Perhaps only part of the explosive was still active all all the years

Maybe it went "low-order"... Not completely detonating, but a very rapid burn wich seems like the real thing, but is a fraction of the power potensial.

Lutzow sunk in the canal... I assume that the larger craters are from tallboys...

Thank You, that's what I was trying to say!

In August of 2004, Zappi, Homba, Bambam887, RedScorpion and MOOXE all pitched
in to create this Close Combat site. I would to thank all the people who have visited and
found this site to thier liking. I hope you had time to check out some of the great Close Combat
mods and our forums. I'd also like to thank all the members of our volunteer staff that have
helped over the years, and all our users that contributed to this site!
