here is a nice page about the IAR80/81 with inforamtions about some more suitable ammounts of ammo than the ingame ones :D

1000lb bombs for the P-47s wingstations.

and at least an option "additonal ammo + Droptank" please..
in COOP missionbuilding i like to use the P-47 very often with 50% fuel and Droptank but than i cant have the more ammo in the moment :(

some missing loadout mixes for german bombers:
Ju88A-4:
10 SC50 + 2 SC500
10 SC50 + 4 SC500
2 AB250
4 AB250

He111H-2:
4 SC250 + 16 SC50
4 SC250 + 16 SC70
32 SC70

Ju87Ds:
1 AB250
1 AB250 + 4 AB23
1 AB250 + 4 SC50
3 AB250
1 AB500 + 2 AB250

Fw190F-8:
1 SC250 + 4 AB23
1 SC500 + 4 AB23
1 AB250 + 4 AB23
1 AB500 + 4 AB23
and as mentioned
Panzerblitz
Panzerblitz + 1 SC250
Panzerblitz + 1 SC500
Panzerblitz + 1 AB250
Panzerblitz + 1 AB500
would be awesome ;)

Hi

What load out info do you have for SD and PC, I'm having problems finding correct loadings.

This might be beyond an armament option, but a B-25J with the solid nose featuring 8 .50 cal would be sweet.

If a Hurricane MkII has got 8 guns it's called a MkIIa, 12 guns is MkIIb. But how a MkIIb where 4 guns are removed is called? I don't know.

Hurricane Mk IIb 8-gun Field Mod? :-P

But seriously, the difference between IIa and IIb, apart from the guns, was that the IIb could carry underwing bombs and drop tanks. Now it has no other loadout options but only the guns.

I doubt it'd be a huge effort to produce a armament option on the Hurricane IIb to remove the outer MG's.

A Hurricane IID or Mark IV would be an interesting and fairly straight forward addition as well come to think of it. Useful on our desert maps and in Burma (used there right up to the end of 1944 I believe when they were replaced by lend lease P-47s).

as i asked caspar once :-P -hey there matey-
bombs for the Macchi MC202
Up to 705 lb, carried on two underwing hardpoints, rated 352 lb each. General disposables load consisted of: 2 × 352 lb, 220 lb, or 110 lb bombs
(metric sizes available)

Um, I never said it was flyable and this thread gives no indication that it is discussing fixes for flyables only.
Bottom line is the B-17D, at least, has no dorsal armament where it should have a twin flexible .50 BMG in the radio compartment.
They are very easy targets at the moment, simply attack from above. I'd like them to be less easy targets. I do not use mods. Alles klar? :-)

Nice, thank you! :cool:

As far as the 8 gun Hurricane IIB goes, this was a field mod introduced when the RAF started fighting Japanese aircraft. It was felt that 12x .303 were overkill against lightly built Japanese aircraft with 8 guns being regarded as more than enough. Furthermore the weight saving and performance gained after removing the outer four guns, their ammo feeds and the associated protective plate was seen as worthwhile. Please note I am not talking about the IIA. IIRC, some Hurricane IIB were modified this way in Singapore before the fall and many others were subsequently modified like this in CBI.

I thought about suggesting a Hurri IID/IV, but thought best to leave the requests to things that don't need any 3D model changes. ;)

I'd still like to see a 1944 standard Mossie with rockets too. :cool:
