I'm fairly certain that the first entry refers to the ability to "dump" external stores (ie. release without arming the fuses)
- Although I'd love it if there was the possibility of weapons being "torn" from hardpoints during high-g's or malfunctioning and refusing to releaser or detonate (apparently up to 25% of RP-3's failed to detonate when fired at ground targets).
The second should refer to dispersion for unguided rockets (which has been a major omission in the series)!
- It would be lovely if gravity influenced trajectory drop (ie. the not just gravity drop, but gravity effect on the orientation of the projectile) was modeled (although this is unlikely due to the need to update AI).
It is nice to the new AI for biplane ground attacks. We could really do with AI capable of making shallow (25-45 degrees) dive-bombing attacks (sometimes referred to as "glide bombing"). Most high-speed aircraft used this type of attack.
