Thanks.

Ironically enough, it is possible to destroy a Tiger with .50 cals in IL2 1946 (and that was possible in older versions of the game too), so I guess it's possible to destroy pretty much anything with an Mk103. Might only have bit of trouble pulling up after that vertical dive and shooting from 50 meters!

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean - I've been using combat flaps and trimmed plane accordingly to get some negative AOA, so that the cannons actually point a tiny bit lower than the vector of flight instead of higher. You have to keep her fast tho.

It was not before autumn 1942 that the first real successes broke up the front of the pilot's considerable distrust in the weapon, the tactics and the intended mission itself. That, however, was limited to a single Staffel, 13.(Pz)/JG 51, operating in the central zone between Vyazma and Rzhev.

The rest of the Hs 129 units did not really convert to tank-busting until spring 1943. The Battle of Kursk was then the real kick-off for that role for the Hs 129.

Since AB bombs are just really empty containers and we already have an excellent upgrade on bombs fuzes and impact power (according to penetration on ground or above it) why about giving the player the option to choose what kind of ordnance is carried by the AB case?

They put inside the right stuff for the next target to attack, we already have the butterfly mini-bombs, the AT type and the incendiary so why dont have the option to choose from those 3 types as fill? There were some more types of little bombs but dont need to be all modelled right now (or ever, who needs anti-personal mines?) Just the 3 types of contain as a submenu or drop-down menu when you choose an AB type of bomb
