https://www.mediafire.com/file/51b7io61188q40b/B-36_Bombs.7z(I made these bombs originally for a B-36 project by 101tfs, that got since frozen ( the project, not 101tfs
)
The mod includes the necessary files for activating the nuke effects and for activating the barometric and proximity fuzes used for the Mk17, besides its airburst fuze (if one has not already installed the full barometric/hydrostatic/proximity fuzes mod I uploaded some time ago)
This mod is for 4.12.2 Modact 4.30 (will work for all versions of 4.12)
If one chooses not to use the barometric and proximity fuzes there is the possibility to use the Nuke with the airburst fuze only - in this case, in the folder B-36, delete the file 46F48070EB58F7FC (after making a backup of it) and rename the file 46F48070EB58F7FC airburst as 46F48070EB58F7FC. This is also a good solution for 4.13 and 4.14 (though I made an adaptation of the full barometric/hydrostatic/proximity fuzes for 4.13RC1 and 4.13.4 that can be found on this forum).
A detail - the yield of the bomb in the java file is 'only" 1.5MT instead of 15MT as the effect in too major for the game - but the radius is correct 5.5km for severe damage for ground level explosion.
Some data on these bombs:
1) Mark 17
Fuze: airburst or contact
Yield 10-15 Megatons
The B-36 was the only means of delivering the first generation Mark-17 hydrogen bomb, 24 feet 8 inches (7.5 m) long (excluding the chute), 5 feet 2 inches (1.6 m) in diameter, and weighing 41,400 lb (~19,000 kg), the heaviest and bulkiest American aerial nuclear bomb ever. Carrying this massive weapon required merging two adjacent bomb bays (the two aft bomb bays).
Mk 17 Mod 0 and Mk 24 Mod 0 bombs were introduced October and November 1954, replacing the prototype weapons: They included a 64-foot-diameter (20 m) parachute to allow the delivery aircraft to escape the area of detonation.
The Mod 0 of the Mk 17 was not exactly a model of aerodynamic stability, as it oscillated with an amplitude of about 10 degrees during its fall, even with parachute retardation, but the nose, which was 2 inches longer, did not aggravate this effect.
The Mk 17 Mod 1 was design-released December 1954 and appeared in stockpile March 1955. By September 1955, all the Mod 0's in stockpile had been converted to the Mod 1 configuration.
The Mk 17 Mod 2 Bomb was design-released June 1, 1955. The weapon contained a Mk 17 Mod 0 Fuze, with both contact- and air-burst capabilities. (Strategic Air Command had developed increasing interest in true contact bursts, to be used for cratering enemy air fields)
The bomb was 61.4 inches in diameter, 298 inches long, and weighed 42,000 pounds. It used a 64-foot-diameter chute and had an operational restriction of 365 knots airspeed and 20,000-foot altitude on the weapon at release. About 25 percent of the Mk 17 stockpile was converted to the Mod 2 configuration.
This was the primary EWO weapon carried by the B-36 fleet during the 1950s. The bomb was carried in the two aft bomb bays, while a smaller 6,000 pound MK6 atomic bomb was carried in one of the forward bomb bays.
The TX-14 baro fuze was used in the early weapons but was intended to be replaced by a proximity fuze as soon as possible.
The 64-foot-diameter chute could be reefed to provide a 100-second time of fall, but became unstable when reefed to produce a 75-second descent. Eventually, the system was designed to contain a 5-foot guide surface chute, a 16-foot deployment chute, and a 64-foot main canopy, all released in stages.
The release was made at an altitude of 40,000 feet or higher. Lower altitude releases, into denser air, would produce high-shock loadings.
The B-52 could not be used as a carrier due to its high speed, which also created high shock loadings at release, therefore this weapon was used exclusively by the B36.
T12:
BOMB, GP, tritonal, 44,000-lb, T12
Total length 322 in (818 cm);
Body length 200 in (508 cm);
Diameter 54 in (137 cm);
Total weight 43600 lb (19780 kg);
Explosive (tritonal) weight 17600 lb (7980 kg).
The original design was given the nomenclature "Bomb, General Purpose, 42,000-lb., T12." Changes in fabrication later increased the weight of the projectile and it later became the "Bomb, General Purpose, 44,000-lb., T12" to reflect the increased weight of the device.
Though designed to weigh approximately 42,000 lb, the practicalities of manufacturing drove the weight to 43,600 lb, 41% (17,600 lb) of which was high explosives.
The bomb body was made up of six sections welded together. The tail assembly was attached to the body with 24 bolts which are anchored in the base plate of the body. The 4 tail fins were canted so as to impart a stabilizing spin to the bomb's trajectory.
Fuzes:
Initially Three British Tail pistol No58 MkI - delays: 0.05s 0.25s 0.5s 3s 11s 24-30 min 1 hour
They were replaced in the mid fifties by three air-arming fuzes T723 placed 120 degrees apart in the base plate using the M40 Primer detonator:
Primer-detonator M40, used with the 12,000 to 44,000-pound GP bombs, was supplied with 0.025-, 0.04-, 0.05-, 0.014-, 0.5-, 1.0-, 3.0-, 11.0-, and 25.- to 30.-seconds delay and non-delay.
Five T12 bombs were provided the AAF shortly after V-J Day for testing. Since the B-36 was not even test flown until Aug 1946, the AAF modified a B-29 to perform testing with the T12.
A Boeing B-29A, No. 44-62263, was modified to carry the T12 by cutting away part of the body section, removing the rear bomb bay doors, and cutting the front doors. Even with such extensive modifications, about half the bomb hung beneath the plane. A special 50,000lb lift and a loading pit were also built to load the bomb. A total of six bombs were dropped by the B-29 assigned to Squadron C, 608th AAF Base Unit, Chemical Ordnance Test Group assigned to Muroc in March and April of 1948.
(A B-29 was also modified to carry a 22,000lb bomb under each wing for use against targets in Japan.)
Eventually a B-36 did test the T12. B-36 No. 43 dropped two T12s on the same mission on 29 January 1949 by flying from Fort Worth to Muroc and back. One was released at 35,000 feet and the other from 40,000 feet. All of these bombs were unexploded. Evidently at least one was dropped and exploded, but the details had not yet been released.
