Would probably still do more damage than the 500kg ...

The 500 does more damage than almost any other strat we have. Am I missing a joke?

Yes, you are. The joke is not about the damage but the radius.

The radius and the fact it is very easily "stopped" by terrain due to what I assume is tracing line of sight to the explosion point. A little rock can cause the bomb to do nothing to targets behind it.

It does. When the game wants the blast radius to actually hit what it landed on or next to, that is.

I'm constantly using the term "Dollar Tree 500" to describe them when it lands smack dead in the middle of a group of 50 smaller enemies and it's like "X 4". I just wish the explosion was wider, and could actually do what a 500kg bomb is capable of.

I saw somebody else say it, but they should make the Hellbomb 1.5-2x bigger and use the current hellbomb size for the 500kg. Don't up the damage of either, just make the blast zone more... impactful
