I was just wondering if any of the texted had rules explaining why a player character can't wipe out an aircraft carrier as easily as they can take out a toaster.

If they haven't put a rule out yet what do you do in your games? (I'm making the transfer to 4th ed. This hasn't come up yet but sooner or later someones going to want to drop a banshee or a cargo ship or something).

*EDIT I mean a physical combat spell not a manipulation. More along the lines of a power bolt.
