I hope the Spitfire Mk VB/VC will finally be able to carry bombs (2 x 250 / 1 x 500).

I thought 1x500 was for b and c, but 2x250 only for c. B-Wing would not support the wing bomb racks. Am I right? Also, were the 2x250 used in service or was it just a short term trial?

Maybe this is totally impossible but I will ask anyway:-
Is it possible for AI crewmembers on a bomber to warn you when they see a con? I would have thought in real life the pilot would have some warning before he hears the guns open up. While it would be great to have 'Tail gunner here. Contacts at 7 0'clock!', just a simple anonymous 'Contacts skipper!' would be useful. Just one warning when a contact first gets close enough for the gunners to start swivelling. I know it sounds impossible but I worked in IT for a long time and frequently people came to me with a request that started 'It probably isn't possible but..' and it was something that was actually quite trivial. Conversely I also used to get requests that started with 'I just need a simple fix' that turned out to be near impossible ![]() ![]() |

Here is a request that sounds easy but you will probably tell me is hard to do
![]() Can we have marker flares? I mostly fly bombers or Jabo in goal driven servers such as Warclouds and with the graphical limitatations of IL2 sometimes it can be hard to see where the target is early enough to get lined up and dial in the bombsight settings. It would be great if a Mosquito could dive in at low level before the bombers and drop marker flares or smoke bombs to mark the target. If we had a loadout that produced the same sort of tower of smoke a crashed plane does but in red or blue it would help the bombers greatly. Just some random thoughts for 4.11 ![]() |

Well, now you're talking about weapons for the Fw-190, I would like to see the Bv 246 "Hagelkorn" to be modelled too. This was a gliding bomb.
A few pictureres and info: http://users.atw.hu/priskos/Alakulat...elkorn_350.jpg Here it's mounted under a He-111. http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=h...26tbs%3Disch:1 http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=h...26tbs%3Disch:1

Quote: European operations had taken precedence over those in the Middle and Far East theatres. The first overseas deployment of Spitfires as fighters took place on 7 March, when 15 tropicalised Mk Vs carrying 90-gallon slipper fuel tanks took off from the flight deck of HMS Eagle bound for Malta, 600 miles (960 km) away. Subsequent deliveries in the same manner turned the air battle for Malta in the RAF's favour. One aircraft suffered fuel-feed failure and became the first Spitfire without a hook to land on an aircraft carrier. By August, the Spitfire had entirely taken over the air defence of Malta. To relieve the aircraft carriers from their ferry role, Spitfire Mk VCs were fitted with an extra internal 29-gallon tank and an external jettisonable 170-gallon tank. Armament was reduced to two machine guns. In this form, the aircraft were able to fly the 1,100 miles (1,750 km) from Gibraltar to Malta, where the extra tanks were removed and the armament refitted. These flights commenced in October. Malta-based Spitfires of 126 Squadron were the first to carry two 250lb bombs, which they did during operations over Sicily. |

Talking of Malta,does a Malta map are in plans for SoW?
If not,it would be perfect for a italian campaign. |
