The kettenkrad is the motor bikes name. Ys it is pretty neat an the Fallschrimjager used were the ones (not always) that operated it.

A straight forward flying massive bomb, if you want.

That´s madness!How can a simple fighter carry a bomber????

And that "BFB" doesn´t look like that do a biiiiiig damage...Till looks like with a normal bomb.But why they wanted to attach NY?
And for god sake!How they was going to drop a bomb from the space if there isn´t any gravity....?

Note the long things sticking out the sides--they're called "wings" and generate what is known as "lift". In combination with the round bits attached to the sticky parts ("engines" and "propellers"), which make the plane go forward fast, the whole deal goes up.

Read again, young padawan: "suborbital". Now remember that when you're in space, you're never really standing still with respect to any object but yourself. This is known as momentum. So if you're going x miles per hour with respect to a big stationary body like, say, planet Earth, and you release part of yourself (like a "BFB"), it will also go x miles per hour in the same direction you had at release time.

Now as to the "BFB", think "nukes", and the fact that something the size of a VW bug at the time had the explosive power of 50,000 tons of TNT, and you're getting somewhere.

If you cared to look at the pic you would see that the Ju 88s engines also work when flying too. The Mistle is a very creative design. However only a few of the missions the Luftwaffe used it on ever succeded. Maybe FH can use it on Alpenfestung?
I think the US Army Air Force had a similar idea, except there was no fighter.
It uses a B-17 packed full of explosives that a pilot would fly to the target and then bail out and the B-17 would crash into the target. But I don't think this worked.

The germans had a also simliar jet "mistel" idea. The Arado E381.

I think I understood.That thing was made to drop the bomb from the atmosphere limit.Oh....Now makes sense....
And what should be the power of this bomb?Could destroy the whole NY?What is the explosion range?And what is the power and range of the V-1 and of the V-2?

that is how one of JFK's brothers was killed. the bomb went off early while he (and the rest of the crew) was still inside.

Jfk?

And I had a very evil idea!
What about using the Amerika bomber as easter egg but as a "Call air strike" kit?
That thing may be at a high altitude and drop a bomb that can blast one whole or four Bf1942 squares?

[Sgt.kar98]

The square mean is things like A1,B7,F4....
When the bomb is dropped it may destroy everything that is at that four squares.But that thing ONLY can be called once,due being too powerfull.
And P.S:The easter egg idea was from Komrad B.The usig as kit was mine.Anyway he had a nice idea.

How about no.
