I did note that, though I'm not sure what the use of that loadout is.

How many were you expecting?

20. You read my post in the thread by Pyro about bomb racks. Everything I was expecting is in that thread.

It would be great for leveling a town. Make one pass with 12 on half of the town, make another pass on the other half. It could end up doing quite a bit of damage.

So Dive Bombing B24's are going to take over from the Lanc's for a few weeks?

Yes I read it, but I was too lazy to look it up again.

As to the towns, I'm afraid not. 100lbers are too small. I found that out when I tried using the 50kg (110lb) bombs on the Ki-67. You need at least 100kg bombs to be effective against towns, cities and factories.

It means getting to pretend to be guys like this, in some small way. I'm not a buff driver, but this one I'll fly.

Cool, that's 4 bombs more of a bit smaller size than the Ju88 carries in addition to the big ones on the wings...

Anton, you can eat where you like and I'm sorry that this restaurant didn't suit you, metaphorically speaking. However, that doesn't mean you can stand in the lobby and rail against the food to the other patrons. That will just get you kicked out of places.

The screenshot was taken on one of the art boxes that didn't have a current version of everything. It was just using a B-17 loadout, the actual release version has 20 as depicted in the photo of the chart you posted.
