Any idea what the bomb load is going to be on that?

Hello SNG

The Wellington could carry 4,500 lbs (2000 kg) of internal bomb load. So 8 x 500 lb, 16 x 250 lb bombs.

This is of course a substantial increase over the Blenheim. Plus of course the ability to drop torpedoes against shipping.

As a matter of interest they used the Wellington to drop the 4000 lb 'Cookie' bomb during testing. I don't know if that will be part of the available bomb loadout in TFS 5.0.

Gettin me all excited for bombing again. 

Was this cookie bomb supposed to fill a role or something? Or just be a bigger package of "get fucked"?

A bit of both really. It was a HC (High Capacity) bomb which meant more explosive was packed into a much thinner casing. It was called a 'Blockbuster'. 

A 'cookie' plus loads of incendiaries was the standard bomb load for Bomber Command.
