The hurricane family got bomb racks for the mkii series but not for the Russian field mod, it should have some racks for fab 100 and rs 82 rockets?

The ki43 series should have small bombs under the wings?

Mustangs and thunderbolts rockets, same with fm-2?

Bf110C has AB250 option, but none again for D-F series?

Mc202 and G50 small bombs?

Allow deleting the underwing bombs from the Ar-234 (historically accurate)

Also Bf-109Z... it really shines if it has a more diverse bomb load (it actually becomes an interesting plane)... also being able to delete the wing gun pods... I know this because I made a mod.

There are a bunch of these cool tweaks and they're pretty quick to do. The big frustration is around adding a large number of rockets (e.g. I added RS-82 to the Lisunov-2 and R4M to the Go-229... and it was a pain)... but just adding a couple of bombs is pretty easy.

Agree. One SC500 has been, probably, the most popular loadout. Also one SD500, AB250(SD15).

Jumping into the wagon, wikipedia says Me-262 A2a used 2x500SC payload as well.

How about adding a 'no backwards machine gun' payload for Ar-234?

Also, wiki also says that He-162A2 used a MG151/20 autocannon and He-162A0 and A1 used MK 108 cannon. Maybe take a look at that

Adding the basic American ordnance options to the P-39N-1, Q-1 and Q-21 would be nice. The US 500lb bomb and drop tank are already available in the game for the earlier P-39s, but not the later models, so that should be an easy fix. :grin:

And is it possible to make it default AI behaviour to jettison heavy rocket ordnance (like the R6 rocket packs on Fw 190s) before attacking enemy fighters, like they do with drop tanks? Or if this is not possible, maybe allow the player, as flight leader, to instruct his flight to jettison rockets? Or maybe it could be automatically linked to the "Attack Fighters" command? The current situation where the AI attempt to dogfight fighters with heavy rockets still attached is just silly. If that is the way it has to be it would be nice if they at least fire them on the first pass.

Now that you say American bombs in P-39's, how about Soviet FAB's in P-47's?

I know I've asked before but, just to reiterate:

Can we get the following loadouts added?

SBD3/5
-One x 500 pound bomb (centerline) and two x 100 pound bombs. (one under each wing)

P-400/39 variants
- One 100 pound bomb (centerline)
- One 500 pound bomb (centerline)
- One 75 Gal drop tank

D3A1
- Two 60 kg bombs only (One under each wing)

B5N2
- Two 250 kg bombs
- One 250 kg bomb and six 60 kg bombs
- Six 60 kg bombs
- One 800 kg bomb

G4M1
- One 250kg and six 60 kg bombs
- Ten 60 kg bombs

Also, an option to remove the two wing guns from the PZL P.11 (since ~2/3rds of them only had two guns)

Finally, thanks Avimimus.

I've been asking for Me 262 ordnance upgrades for some time.

For instance, unless it was a subvariant with a bombing computer, I think they could install all of the nose guns. Usually, you'd have two removed for weight, etc. And the latter is the default with no options for otherwise.

The Stormbird could carry cluster bombs, and I think it could also carry lighter bombs than the default on the forward racks. I really would like to see more options there in the future. Apparently, because the '262 was so fast, cluster bombs were in fact the preferred weapon, and the latter are not currently available.

The variant I liked was the recon variant with only a single Mk-108 cannon!

The game could definitely do with a bit of a revision when it comes to axis bombs (as mentioned - ability to carry less bombs on the Ar-234, and an ability to carry gunpods or more variations for the Bf-109Z)... I really enjoyed the mods I made to do that.
