It'd be cool if

[moot]

one of the near or nearly near patches, post post release polishing, were dedicated not to new planes nor new strat, but just new weapons for what we already have.

R4Ms, 40 to 22,000lbs bombs for the RAF, Schrage Musik, Panzerblitz rockets, skip bombing modeling, 20mm quads for the Ostwind-Whirblewind conversion, NS-23, NS-45, VYa, Mk103?, BK3.7/5/7.5, 6xMG81 pods (Ju87D-4), twin 151/20 wingpods, 20mm M2 for the USAAF fighters that could fit them, etc.

Some would have to be perked (the same way perked planes are), some of them would require a full separate frame, but it'd be neat, as many planes are rather empty in comparison to what they'd've looked like in the hangar, IRL.

Would be good indeed, although the 22,000lb bomb for the RAF would require a Lancaster Special which we don't have (no top, forward turret).  I know of a lot of German ordnance was available for the AH aircraft and are not modelled.  I've also read/seen photos of RAF cluster bombs and doubled up 60lb rockets (2 rockets strapped to each other to double load to 16).  I don't use rockets myself so either way wouldn't bother me if included or not, but the cluster bombs might prove useful.

However, I don't think we should have the Whirblewind, that would be far too deadly!!! Ouch!

Well said.
Tallboys and Para frags, yummi yummi.
Time fuzed bombs also maybe?
Enhanced blast effect?
Craters on runway?

r.w. craters might be a while, HT said they were not feasible for the server management.

Better blast effects would be a hoot :-)  I asked HT about recoil when tank turret shells impact lighter vehicles, like the M3, to which he replied he'd have to run some numbers... I didn't get to ask him since, but that and turbulence would be cool, shockwaves etc :-)
