Hello guys!
Do you plan to make available the German bomb SC1000? One of the developers of the game has long written on the forum that this bomb is implemented, but not adapted for use from aircraft.

Yes. It goes boom.

I read that B-2 could carry SC500 (without an gunner), but Rudel seemed to use SC1000 in 1941 during the attack of the battleship "Marat".

Rudel is member of the master race and can do anything. All explained in his book and Signal Magazine... and by Goebbels.
Also had specially prepared Stuka from special ground crew team... we don't do such things... because they then become standard and are used everyday and all Stuka drivers become Master Race.

And the reason there's no gunner is because is needed behind the plane to push it for takeoff
To be fair to Rudel though: It is quite an achievement in itself to survive through the entire war as a Stuka pilot.
Thank you guys! I myself did not believe this fascist. His memoirs are a complete lie!

OK, despite the salty comments I made, I must say that Rudel's book was highly entertaining nonetheless. The stories of escape from behind enemy lines on multiple occasions were nail biting stuff and so were his attacks on the soviet warships. However, you do have to treat the book more like an adventure novel than a real historical book. Esepcially when it's written by a definite nazi!
To be fair, it's always good to take any memoir with some sodium on the side - they're fun to read (Thunderbolt!, Wing Leader, First Light, Lucky 13 are some I'd reccomend!) but you should always read books by actual historians if you want a more accurate depiction of what happened back then.
I'm getting sidetracked. The SC1000s look pretty beastly. Would one hit from one of those bad boys be enough to sink one of the new Royal Navy battleships in 5.0?
Hi Flare! According to Luftwaffe document, the SC1000 is basicly a blast bomb with low penetration and high exploding power, not designed for anti-warship operation. The QE Class has a 3in armoured deck protecting its critical compartments like magzines and engine rooms, while SC1000 can only penetrate around 50mm (about 2in) of armour. So possibly a SC1000 will not penetrate the QE's deck armour, but when exploding on contact, I believe it will heavily damage the superstructure and neutralise any personel that is exposed on the deck.
Luftwaffe had special ordnance for anti-warship operations though, they are semi-AP bombs (SD series) and AP bombs (PC series), they even had rocket-propulsion bombs (PS series) for the task. To sink an armoured RN ship like QE or Illustrious Class Fleet Carrier, Luftwaffe would most possibly choose SD500 or PC1000 for the task rather than SC ones. Actually ground handling manuals for loading SC1000 and PC1000 series bombs on Ju. 87Bs were issued as early as June 1938 and Ju. 87Rs (long range conversion of Ju. 87B) of StG 1 probably used PC1000 againest HMS Illustrious in January 1941 on her trip to Malta.
