Nope. I tried this, and unless I'm doing something wrong, it only works to jettison the cannon of the Hs-129Wa.

For other planes, if you select unlimited ammo from the options menu and choose any loadout option that includes rockets, bombs or gunpods, you're stuck with them for the entire mission.

You're right. from my experience "Jettison Stores" doesn't work with infinite ammo.
Also, I didn't know you could drop that cannon on the Hs-129! I'm now contemplating how this could be used in a hilarious/practical manner!

That'd be a dream

On the outside... a +13lbs with Rotol propeller would be a blast.

would be - we have all these obscure variants of the Bf-109 and FW-190 but not more widespread British fighters like the 13lb Tempest or dare I even say the Spitfire Mk XIV. Shame really.

Maybe they'd be just a bit too awesome.

+1 for the 13lb Tempest.

Go on TD, you love it!

To be fair the Bf109 spans the entire war and several theaters while the Tempest arrived on the scene in 1944 and received very few modifications through it's wartime career (not counting the design lineage and history with the Typhoon). Nonetheless we're missing some key British types that I'd really love to see implemented. I'm not talking about bombers either (which is a default position people seem to take when I say that).

Going back to the Tempest itself. The biggest impediment a few years ago was utter lack of detailed documentation on the +11lbs. Oleg was more than willing to entertain the notion of a +11lb Tempest but we couldn't find enough information. It's like the Air Ministry waved its hand and proclaimed that 11lbs was just fine without worrying too much about it... sounds rather un-British like to me. There are a couple of charts but they were lacking detail and had no climb information. Surely performance information exists somewhere.

Perhaps more has been dug up since the last time I looked?

EDIT: I forgot to mention... the Spitfire XIV only problem has been a lack of 3d modeling. Back in the early days of IL-2 there were several attempts at Spitfires and the two successful ones gave us the Mark V, IX and Vc/VIII and Seafire III. There were a couple of later model Spitfires that were never finished. I know there is one that was made by one third party somewhere... not sure how fully complete it is and to what specifications it was done to. There may be others floating around somewhere! I still have some pieces of information about the XIV gunsight.

I hear what you say about the Tempest - the lack of performance data is odd. Closterman's account of the 13lb makes it sound like a beast - a pity.

There is a good 3D model of the Spit XIV in UP3. They've done the XVI too.
