Drawing uncovered of 'Nazi nuke'

I'm not sure if this yet qualifies for a Tier 4 inclusion but its pretty interesting. Apparently they Germans were closer to dropping (or in this case shooting!) nukes than previously thought. Talk about RDP imbalance...OUCH!

Considering a 12,000lb Tallboy or Grandslam ort to take most 1-2AB towns on the map singlehanded, only place it would worth it might be Antwerp?

It should eventually be RDPable, as both the British and US were working on it before the British sent all the research they had on it to the US. Germany had an active program that was slowed down by the destruction of the Heavy Weater plant in Norway (One of the best examples of how RDP works now!).

To find out how the British went about slowing down and stopping the axis RDP in WW2, read "Most Secret War" by R.V.Jones. Bombing Permunnde got them 2 months before V1's could be used for example. It also goes into great detail in how both germany and england used blind bombing techniques using radio beams and radar. Pretty much as accurate as the GPS we have in game.
