E2 just wont let nonco go.

did he use both support?

Don't scare me. I'm one or two sorties far from the last dance and it took like 8 effective sorties to the boss. I think I'm using support from now on.

I'm still in E-1 that even worse

To be using Opa-Opa as a bomber, nonco-san must be getting desperate.

So... can WW2 ship take 16t solid steel dropped from like... 500 feet above ?

E2 is an equipment check. IF you have that nifty amphibious tank, daihatsu and WG-42, your chances increases. Also add support. Otherwise, you gonna cry.

I only ever neeeded map support. However my luck went down the shitter from clearing E2 with relative ease. Till E5 became the proverbial straw.

That would probably leave quite a hole. Don't know if it can sink the ship though.

From 500 feet some of the heaviest battleship armor decks might defeat the projectile, depending on details like what it was made of, it's shape, etc but solely because gravity would not have time to accelerate it much at that height. Going any higher though pretty much starts making it unstoppable by pure kinetic force. If allowed to reach it's probable terminal velocity of say 270 m/s (about the speed at which even streamlined bombs start to run into transonic wave drag) it would have something like ten times the energy of Fritz-X.

It would smash a hole shaped like itself through anything afloat the only question being if the hole is big enough to destroy the ship. With something like a destroyer it might well be enough to cause straight structural failure due having a proportionally large section of the ship's bottom blown out if it hits near the center, on a cruiser or battleship... based on how other large bombs behaved it's doubtful one would suffice, particularly without a bursting charge to pierce and deform adjacent water tight compartments with fragments and blast. Still it would cause massive flooding and utterly destroy any system it hit, two would likely suffice for a cruiser, a battleship might need three or four depending on locations.
