• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Beaufighter Loadout

Solid Armour Piercing, ie no explosives in the warhead. I saw one of these next to the Beaufighter TF.X at Hendon a couple of years ago. It was found especially for anti-shipping that a solid-headed rocket striking a merchant ship below the waterline could do as much damage as its high explosive counterpart. They were also cheaper to make.
 
Interesting, you'd think would be better off tearing a big hole with a bang; yet wouldn't want to stand in front of a solid, either!
