I don't understand why the attitude of people that want to play "air quake" should have any influence on the features in BOB. A simulator should try to model reality as good as possible. If people have problems with that they should try another genre.

As Kurfürst said the current system in Il-2 is just extremely cumbersome. It only works well for aircraft with a rather limited capability to carry air to ground weapons.

I see no reason why overloading aircraft shouldn't be possible. If your bombload is too heavy your plane will simply not be able to take off or the climbrate will be minimal. If a station can't handle a SC 2000 bomb it simply wouldn't be selectable. If the BOB engine can simulate changes in fm and weakened substructure due to battle damage, it can handle the negative effects of carrying too heavy bombs as well. Thus flying an overloaded aircraft will be a very unpleasant experience.
