Sorry if this is in the wrong forum.
Anybody know where I could find statistics for World War II German air dropped bombs as well as German submarine torpedoes?
I'm particuarly interested in the blast effects such as crater depth or radius, penetration, and other blast effects.
I know it's a long shot, but I was curious to ask.
Modeling isn't just about how good the gluing or painting, etc. looks. It's also about how creative and imaginative you can be with a subject.
My modeling philosophy is: Don't build what everyone else has done. Build instead what nobody has seen or done before.

This site gives you some information, not all you are after, but a starter for 10 as they say.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks. It at least helps a little.

This may be of help, it's a huge collection of manuals, reports etc., so what you're seeking
may be in there:

This once again proves my assertion that no matter how abstruse the question, someone in our community will have an answer and be prepared to share their knowledge for everyone's benefit.

And what if somebody has a question that nobody has an answer to?

It should dawn on the individual asking the question that they have discovered a knowledge gap, & that they should research that question until they become the subject matter expert for that question. ;D

It's not happened so far...............
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Of course something to bear in mind is that the theoretical and the actual results will vary
based on a number of factors, including what is being hit. The same sized bomb will have
a different effect in sand, mud, hard earth, concrete, structures etc. Ditto a torpedo on
an unarmoured versus armoured target, plus you can have torpedo bulges, shallow vs.
deep draft etc. etc.
