Agreed. If all you want is to blanket the defenses in Normandie, 400m is plenty. For "pinpoints" on the sub pens & such, you really just need to be closer--& that kinda follows, with the right launch platform.Carl Schwamberger said:S...t bro. 100 meters Circular Probable Error from aim point, thats just dandy for firing a mass of these at things like the coastal resistance nests defending the beaches. Beats the hell out of the USAAF heavy bomber strike that missed the Omaha beach fortifications by 1000+ meters.
100 meters PE @ 25 miles is comparable to heavy very long range artillery PE, even at lesser rangesI recall the very best the 80cm Schwer Gustav cannon could do was a 65 meter PE at its maximum range. When training for spotting Naval guns were were told to expect PE along the range line of 300+ meters under many circumstances.
Even a 400 meter PE if launching from the south coast of the UK is acceptable if pounding the German garrisons while moving from their barracks to the gun positions overlooking the beaches at 0300 on 6 June.
That said, the reliability of that CEP bears checking...
