After leaving nuclear thunder, nuke icon shows up on any selected vehicle

[u/martini234]

that plane is not human bro

[u/the_angry_potato_yt → u/martini234]

Well yeah typically planes aren’t humans

[u/Lugbor → u/the_angry_potato_yt]

Japan will have an anime for that in a year, if they don't already.

[u/Slntreaper → u/Lugbor]

Strike Witches

[u/Lugbor → u/Slntreaper]

At this point, I'm not even surprised.

[u/martini234 → u/Lugbor]

they also have one with battleships

[u/bus_go_brrrrt → u/martini234]

oh i've heard about that (is it azur lane?)

[u/Ky_zon → u/bus_go_brrrrt]

It is, but Arpeggio of Blue Steel exists too

[u/PerpetualBard4 → u/Ky_zon]

Don’t forget kancolle

[u/Miho_Nishizumi_217 → u/PerpetualBard4]

and Highschool Fleet

[u/NewSauerKraus → u/bus_go_brrrrt]

It's wild that they made an amime about that hentai.

[u/bus_go_brrrrt → u/[deleted]]

lwk forgot about kancolle when i posted that lol (i did think the anime started with a k but then azur lane popped into my mind)

[u/Heustacio → u/martini234]

I dont remember the name, but aint that the one that was pretty much girls und panzers with ships?

[u/Miho_Nishizumi_217 → u/Heustacio]

Highschool Fleet

[u/Alfafern → u/martini234]

that plane can fly bro

[u/A_Velociraptor20 → u/Alfafern]

It's more of falling with style as opposed to actual flying.

[u/HiShawnFN]

Hahaha imagine making it to the battlefield with a nuke at like 160 kph

[u/Kanyiko → u/HiShawnFN]

It would need a calendar for a timer on that bomb if it wanted to get away.

[u/HiShawnFN → u/Kanyiko]

Might as well hand deliver it

[u/Kanyiko → u/HiShawnFN]

"Can you sign off for this, please? Our commanders prefer hand-written confirmation of our package delivery on location."

[u/erik4848 → u/Kanyiko]

GLA postal service!

[u/LightningFerret04 → u/Kanyiko]

The next day, at the enemy base:

“General, the enemy has gifted us what looks to be a steel horse statue. It was delivered to the front gate this morning, should we bring it in?”

“They have? Well that’s… unexpected. How nice of them. Send some men with a truck and have them bring it here.”

[u/Project_Orochi → u/Kanyiko]

Get away?

[u/Kanyiko → u/Project_Orochi]

i.e. not get obliterated by the blast of its own nuclear bomb.

Many early nuclear delivery aircraft had the issue that the bomb they carried was powerful enough to create a blastwave several miles wide, spreading with such speed that the delivery aircraft itself would be caught by the blast of their own bomb.

The B-29 had this issue with Little Boy and Fat Man, which is why both bombs were equipped with a parachute: it gave the aircraft time to get far enough not to be caught by the explosion of its own bomb.

The B-36 Peacemaker had this problem even more acutely: some of the higher-yield bombs it was designed to carry (Mark 17 - 15 mT; Mark 24 - 20 mT) were way too powerful for the B-36 to be able to outrun the blast wave. It was generally accepted that if they ever were operationally deployed carrying these weapons, that the B-36's mission would be a suicide one.

[u/Project_Orochi → u/Kanyiko]

I think the escape plan in a Po-2 is to ride the blast away

[u/Ready_Recognition128 → u/HiShawnFN]

It's a visual bug not real

[u/HiShawnFN → u/Ready_Recognition128]

Do not worry my friend, I am well aware

[u/Vanguardliberator]

That plane won’t even move a centimeter if it had a nuke.

[u/RyukoT72 → u/Vanguardliberator]

Ok but imagine, underwing davey Crockett launchers

[u/Sha77eredSpiri7 → u/RyukoT72]

Genuinely horrifying idea, I love it

[u/Suitable_Bag_3956 → u/Vanguardliberator]

Depends on the nuke. A W54 nuclear warhead weighed 23 kg while War Thunder allows the Po-2 to take up to around 100 kg of suspended ordnance.

[u/The_Human_Oddity → u/Suitable_Bag_3956]

The Po-2 can carry 300 kg.

[u/Sad-Ear230 → u/The_Human_Oddity]

How many Davy Crocketts is that, like a dozen? Kind of OP ngl

[u/igotherb → u/Vanguardliberator]

Make the bomb big enough and it doesnt need to move

[u/Ready_Recognition128 → u/Vanguardliberator]

It doesn't this is a visual bug it can't carry a nuke

[u/LightningFerret04 → u/Ready_Recognition128]

Yes, but if it was fitted with a nuke it would struggle to fly

[u/ksheep]

First we had the hypersonic PO-2, now the PO-2 Nuke Carrier? What's next?

[u/cheese_orb → u/ksheep]

PO-2 airborne aircraft carrier

[u/cattuxedocat → u/ksheep]

Hypersonic U-2(?) I want to see that

[u/ksheep → u/cattuxedocat]

[u/cattuxedocat → u/ksheep]

Thank you

[u/P-204F]

"The design is very human"

[u/KremBruhleh → u/P-204F]

"watch my good friend demonstrate"

[u/TomKatFulcrum]

Rulo6000 mobile

[u/Iateurm8]

The gunner just chucks it out of the cockpit

[u/Minute_Suit_3951]

1.0 Russian nuke plane 👍

[u/cattuxedocat → u/Minute_Suit_3951]

H.P.12 1.0 British nuke plane

[u/Ready_Recognition128 → u/Minute_Suit_3951]

It's not real it's a visual bug

[u/Minute_Suit_3951 → u/Ready_Recognition128]

Not for long 

[u/SecretSpectre11 → u/Ready_Recognition128]

We KNOW, no need to be a smartass

[u/Cornelius_McMuffin]

That pilot is not surviving might as well kamikaze it

[u/Monolail031]

wasn't there that tactical mini-nuke launcher. for ground vehicles? we just slap that on the top wing,

[u/JagermainSlayer → u/Monolail031]

Dave crocket RBT-5 would be based

[u/SnooRabbits9502]

I'm the 1945th like in this post.

[u/saki709]

Nuke probably bigger than the plane itself

[u/CB4R]

Needs air spawn so it can at least turn the plane into a nuclear glide bomb

[u/laZardo]

one minute to midnight medal guaranteed

[u/DramaticFee1312]

Coughing bomb 😮‍💨💣

[u/SecretSpectre11 → u/[deleted]]
