difference between R1: SC 500 and U3: SC 500?
 

What the difference between a R1: SC 500 and a U3: SC 500 bomb?

afaik the u3 modifikation was made in the field and the r1 at the factory.
the r1 has less drag and impairs the plane less.

many thanks for the quick reply

Actually if I'm not mistaken one actually removes your outter guns which is supposed to help in terms of weight. In the game it doesn't help at all because you still have a bomb rack even after droping the bomb. You will suffer in terms of speed and turning so it doesn't make sense to remove your outter guns. I wish it did.

u3 removes the guns, me thinks.

The bomb rack isn't modelled to cause any effect in terms of performance.

actually, having ECT rack in early anton causes depending on model 20mph and wing racks bout 10mph additional loss in speed...

Hello Alpha,
are you sure about that? Do you have any test results?

Once the bomb is dropped the rack has no effect on drag.

This was discussed over 5-6 years ago with Oleg/1C team.

This thread has some discussion in 2004, some of the bugs were never fixed as far as I know.
