You really know nothing about the eastern front, do you?

Read a bit about Pe2 exploits over there.

In some (many?) occasions the Luftwaffe was forced to use medium bombers to attack troop and tank concentrations, see for example the books of C. Bergstrom on the Eastern Front air war.

Air war on the Eastern Front covered such a huge area, involved so many planes, and was so desperate, that at this point almost nothing would surprise me about unusual variants and tactics.

Brilliant! No AI programming needed.

Other options:

* Attack until X percentage of friendly forces/X number of friendly planes are destroyed.

* Attack until X percentage of ordinance expended.

Other ideas for the FMB:

* Option to change plane class for a mission. Right now, the game recognizes fighters, attack planes (sturmoviks), and level bombers. You should be able to make, say, a fighter-bomber behave like an attack plane, or an attack bomber behave like a level bomber.

* Option to have planes only attack certain targets with certain weapons. e.g., "Only use guns to attack soft vehicles." "Only use rockets to attack merchant ships."

:mrgreen: "Shittengitten" was the name of a B-26 in New Guinea. Maybe some foreignors may not understand the meaning but it basically means to "Dump" your load "and"- "Git" (get) out of there as fast as you can!

Or DB-3.

Or MBR-2 - yes, they were used over land as well (with disastrous results for themselves).
Etc, etc.

The way i would do this is setting several ground attacks to the same position with a low flight path that try to use the terrain for cover between every ground attack, also set the damage to low percentage for every ground attack.
