No need for a bouncing bomb as it was used for 1 purpose and 1 purpose only. Do we have dams in AH2 ?

 

they was used for sub pens as well. And who says dams couldnt be added for things like TOD.....? lol

I've said it before; I'll pay for drones with my bomber perks, so long as I can get up to FIVE drones per sortie.

Say goodbye to strat factories and cities.... and I won't need 1K's to do it either.... 500's will work just fine out of 6 B-17's, or the variety found in 6 JU-88's.  Give me a good reason to fly up to 25K again on a regular basis.
----------------------------

Talk about revisiting a lot of old death threads in this one.  Been said many many (many....many....) times that we are not going to see any bomb larger than the 4,000 pound "cookie" for bombers.  No tall boys.  No grand slams.  No nooks.  No V2's.  

-----------------------------
37mm on Stuka and IL-2.... that would be fun.  Been playing with the IL-2 lately as it is.


------------------------------
oh yeah, add a perked A-26B and A-26C to lineup.   Towed 88mm  Flak36 too.

That's new to me. Until now I thought the "Upkeep" bouncing bombs were only used for Operation Chastise. Maybe you are confusing them with the Tallboy bombs wich in fact were used to attack targets like U- and E- boat pens?

Isn't there always someone in these threads that asks for the P-39....
Did I beat him to the punch?

they tried boucing them over torpedo nets and into the sub pen doors as well. didnt work though.

I asked for the Lancaster B1 which carried the Grandslam and the Tallboy as a perk plane some time ago in the Wishlist forum but mostly for taking out the hardened building at HQ.

Someone recently (I think it was Filth) was asking to limit the number of 163's available so his bomber groups would have a better chance of getting to HQ before being shot down.  If the Tallboy and Grandslam were introduced only 1 bomber would have to make it in and score a direct hit on the hardened building leaving the 163's to have their fun too (plus, perk ride against perk ride).

Any details? Which raid? Units?

2x 37mm AT cannons for Stukas

Unfortunately, we have the wrong Ju87 for those weapons.

Then just more perks for a proper Stuka

The Ju 87D-5 increased wing span to 15.00 m from 13.8 m and replaced the MG 17 with two MG 151/20 cannons to improve ground attack capability.

Not sure how difficult this would be to model in the code.

B25s used bouncing bombs against Japanese shipping. Used them in shallow water and ports to get around... or over torpedo netting.

[USCH]

B-25's just skip bombed GP HE 500 lbs bombs they didnt have the rolling drum or bouncing bomb, the 500 and 1000lbs bombs in AH can be skiped (but its rarly seen)

[Ack-Ack]

The bombs in here cannot be skipped.
