Give the pilot the option to customize their loadouts with control over:

- number of MG/CAN rounds (reduce #'s for weight)
- mix available ordinance #'s i.e. instead of 10 rockets, take 6
- customize hardpoints with different bomb options
- customize bomb types: ie napalm, HE, airburst, etc.

Thoughts?

Good point - sometimes wanted to up a Lanc from a difficult field with a decent fuel load, but the heavy bomb loads make it impossible. I couldn't select a 'half' bomb load.
Here we are, living on top of a molten ball of rock, spinning around at a 1,000mph, orbiting a nuclear fireball and whizzing through space at half-a-million miles per hour. Most of us believe in super-beings which for some reason need to be praised for setting this up. This, apparently, is normal.

It's been requested before, and it's been requested so heavily recently I think HTC might do that sometime soon. Let's see how it turn out!:aok

Would be cool, but that said folks will just say drop some of the bomb's, rockets or mg/cannon on the runway....

But I would still like to see it :D

Definitely needed.........:aok


I find that in my P38, 2000Mg rounds are a bit much and 800 are a little too few........I would like to haul something around 1200.
Customised ammo loadouts and also for fuel......why 25% then straight 50%. I would like being able to up with 40% or maybe 60%.........and also would like to be able to select which tanks should be fueled......for eg, instead of main and aux tanks fill 50% all in main tank......its risky (in case tank gets hit) but might just be useful in case its the other tank that gets hit......


And Finally.......
PLEASE MAKE IT SO THAT THE HIT FUEL TANK STOPS TRAILING GAS ONCE ITS OUT OF FUEL.  
As it is now, its an death warrant.
