I calculated game data for bombs of up to roughly Tall Boy size for RTW2 initially, at some point I would love to see that data made use of in the game... Would a 2000lbs 1970 era glide Bombs equal a conventional 1945 era 4000lbs bomb if one existed? What’s the conversion rate here? Im not sure of the practicality of using bigger bombs, but a Tall Boy dropped on an enemy BB would like crack it like an egg. Any data on super heavy bombs being tested on armored ships? Only from the attack on Tirpitz as far as I know. nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/battleship-vs-bomber-tirpitz-was-nazi-battleship-simply-refused-die-95516

Tallboys were also used in an attack on the heavy cruiser Lützow in 1945, however no direct hits were scored AFAIK

"On 13 April 1945, twenty-four Avro Lancaster bombers attacked Lützow and Prinz Eugen without success due to cloud cover. The RAF failed again two days later but on 16 April, eighteen Lancasters scored a hit and several near misses on Lützow with Tallboy bombs in the Kaiserfahrt.[38] Despite sinking, the water was shallow enough that her main deck was still 2 m (6 ft 7 in) above water, permitting her use as a stationary gun battery against advancing Soviet forces under control of Task Force Thiele."
with caveat that the above quote is from Wikpedia

Part of me would like to see a Final Countdown scenario. Partial to an Eye of the Tiger myself.
