It is often asked why this is so, but it is relatively easy to understand and the advantage is obvious.Warnightwing wrote:

Nuclear bombers without a bomb are useless, but would continue to cost daily upkeep. That would be bad for many questioners noobs.
That's why CoW has a much better solution >> for every built nuclear bomb there is the nuke bomber for free with it. That's good for noobs everyone.

.... .. so beware of caltrops, spring-guns and booby traps.

2, but barely got back from the Nagasaki mission, though that was not the bombs fault.

One, actually. The B-29 Enola Gay, flown by the squadron commander, Paul Tibbets, dropped the first atomic bomb used in operations, "Little Boy," on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. Three days later, on August 9, a different B-29, Bockscar, piloted by Charles Sweeney, dropped the second atomic bomb, "Fat Man," on Nagasaki. While both bombers were used operationally in other missions and as observer aircraft, both Enola Gay and Bockscar flew a single mission with an atomic weapon.NukeRaider33 wrote:

It seems I remember history 10 wrong. Ah well.

Nuke, the info on the web says that both were dropped by Enola Gay, so I would have got that wrong too.
There are three versions to every story. Your version, My version, and the truth.

FYI, Paul Tibbets was a Gator, i.e., a University of Florida alumnus, and I had occasion to meet him twice at alumni events In Gainesville while I was in graduate school. He was a hard-ass through and through. The kind of guy who claimed never to have lost a night's sleep for having commanded the first atomic bombing by the Enola Gay. His only concern was the American lives he saved when the amphibious invasions of Kyushu and Honshu were made unnecessary when the Japanese surrendered after getting nuked twice.
