Any chance for more LW cluster bomb options?

[JG27_PapaFly]

Hello Team Daidalos,
as we all know the available Luftwaffe AB cluster bombs are pretty useless. Part of the problem is the fact that the AB1000 and AB500 contain ineffective bomblets (antitank and incendiary, respectively).

Is there a chance you guys could make a few more AB options? I'm thinking of e.g. AB1000 and AB500 containing the general purpose bomblets that are modeled in the AB250. If you' model that and a few corresponding loadout options you'd make a lot of LW bomber jocks like me ver happy.
I'm dreaming of following JU88 loadouts:

4xAB250 (with and without SC50 in the bomb bay)
6xAB250
4xAB500 (general purpose bomblets)
2xAB1000 (general purpose bomblets)

S!

+1000!

I agree, its quite strange that AB500 and AB1000 are completely useless, while the smaller AB250 is devastating (if used properly of course)
AB500/1000 with AB250's bomblets would be awesome.

AB500 useless?? They're filled up with antitank bomblets - when used correctly against a dense column of tanks, they're devastating. My record is 14 T-34s and KV-1s with a single AB500.

I do of course support the idea of player being able to choose the "filling" of the AB's.

Agreed. I've been able to get a large number of tanks in a column with the right AB500 release.

I also do think that setting the option for what is in the bomblet would be useful. But the AB500 is far from useless... its very potent when deployed carefully.

Also agreed, I had some good success getting multiple tanks with a single AB 500. I was also able to kill multiple tanks from altitude with an AB 1000, but that takes a really big group of tanks and experimenting with the bomb delay timer and drop altitude.

Maybe I'm misinformed, but I think the AB1000 is of different construction than the other ABs and thus limited to incendiary only. Content of other ABs should be interchangeable though IIRC - and would be very nice to have.
