Fragmentation Bomb



The 10 kg bomb is typical of the small bombs used during the First World War. Bombs dropped from aircraft were first employed in the Italo-Turkish War of 1911 and the First Balkan War of 1912, but aerial bombardment did not become commonplace until the First World War. Initially bombs were improvised from hand grenades or converted artillery shells and dropped out of an aircraft by hand onto enemy positions, however, by the end of the war, bomb racks under the wings and fuselage, and even early bomb sights were developed.

Bombs of 10 kilograms (about 22 pounds) or less were often used for tactical bombing against targets such as enemy trench lines, supply depots, artillery batteries, and other non-fortified targets.

Battlefield 1
The 10 kilogram bomb is the secondary weapon of the Ground Support Package of the Attack Aircraft in multiplayer. The aircraft carries eight bombs, which are release simultaneously when deployed. Selecting the bombs as a weapon will change the camera to the bombsight view, which the player can use to aim and release the bombs by pressing the fire button. The aircraft's bombload is infinite, but it takes a few seconds to reload after a release. Bombs may be released when flying at any angle, but are most accurate when deployed while the aircraft is in level flight or a dive. 10 kg bombs will detonate about one second after impacting the ground. A well-placed bomb can kill multiple infantry, but will deal only light damage to tanks.
