I could imagine that it makes a real impact to a bomber. I have read that WW2 planes essentially were loaded to the maximum allowable weight between the fuel + ammunition. If you can cut down the fuel for same range, that allows for more ammo.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoThat was, arguably, the consequence of poor accuracy and low bomb yields - those planes had to drop a lot of ordnance for there to be a chance something actually lands on the intended target. I recall reading somewhere that a single modern guided bomb would achieve the effect that, during WW2, required 100 to 1000 bombers.
