ok is the B17G's bomb load modeled correctly? I thought the B17 could carry more than 6000 pounds of bombs. I though they could carry 10 or 12 1000 lbs bombs. Oh well I was just wondering.

Beef,

saw a documentary on the B17 on Discovery bout a week ago......standard bomb load to Berlin was 6,000lbs......but the bird could lug up to 20,000lbs on short hops....like France and back.
