WTF war did you study boy?
Re-read the loadouts for the buffs we have in this game.. you will find that most of them carry between 1 to 5k more then they did consistently in reality.
CATCH UP KRUSTY YOUR GETTING SLOPPY!
skyrock, go away. B17s could carry upwards of 17,000lbs or ord. That was their maximum limit. Their common maximum wartime loadout was 6,000 (actually I think it was 5,000 but I like the even number AH has). Lancasters had a huge mix of various types of bombs, but only so many shackles and in only so many different configuration.
B24s, with a more powerful set of engines than the B17, could probably carry 20,000lbs or ord, if you just weighed it down with ballast. Did they? No. HTC has said they give weapons loadouts based on common wartime loads, NOT rare, or experimental, or 1-off loadouts.
Do your own homework, you trolling BBS clone.
