xvii-Dietrich Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 The AB250 w/SD2 cluster munition does no damage. The AB250 contains 144 SD2 bombs. Each SD2 bomb weighs 1.9kg with a 0.2kg explosive charge. This is thus a total submunition mass of 275kg (ignoring the casing) and explosive charge mass of 29kg. The SD-designation (dt. Sprengbombe Dickwandig) indicate a fragmentation blast effect. A single SD2 should be lethal to approx. 10m radius and cause injury to 50m radius. However, dropping an entire canister of 144 x SD2 munitions on a small area (which is also incorrect, that's a separate report), results in no injury whatsoever, let alone death. Additionally, this is on unprotected, standing infantry, in open ground (I'm not talking about trucks or aircraft or any "harder" targets like that). Testing To test this, a platoon of 9 x infantry was placed in a 30 x 30m grid. An AI FW 190 A8 dropped an AB250 w/SD2 on the group. The F10 map (with status bars) was used to check on any impact or injury. I repeated the test five times. Typically no damage whatsoever was done (despite the massive visual explosions). There was one single occasion one infantry indicated slight damage (the green bar dropped to yellow). In all other cases there was no indication of any hit or damage whatsoever. Accompanying material Screenshots attached. Note the F10 map version. This was the only injury I could get out of five tests, with direct hits each time. Track file attached.
