And you missed my "message" - what I was trying to say is that people will sling a SC500 under a Bf 109 G-6 (I am still not convinced the 109s ever used bombs greater than a SC250 BTW) and add two MG 151/20 gondolas under the wings for more firepower. That is the kind of combo I want to prevent because it is ahistorical and a serious overload for the aircraft. In real life it would be a serious overload and would certainly put quite a dent into the aircraft's performance - no sane pilot would dare to fly that crate.
Bottom line for me is - history (and not just tech trials at Rechlin - frontline availability and use count as much and even more!) must be the fundament for the technical details. In Il-2 there are a load of ahistorical and useless loadout selections (Mk 108 and Mk 103 gunpods) which were never issued to the front and therefore misplaced while others, historically relevant loadouts (can you say Pb-1 and Pb-2?) were omitted because of time and ressource issues of the developer. Right now I see the system in Il-2 as technically fine - just the loaudout details need a revision.
