We are getting the 190F8, which I presume will be capable of carrying, amongst other things, 4x50kg bombs. Eventually we will get an Il-2 or Il-10, which can also carry small bombs and rockets. And when we get early war stuff there will be even more planes which will carry light bombs. The problem is, in the MA there are no targets really worthy of these small bombs. Sure you can hit acks and fuel with them, but it is really more effective to grab a good strafing plane and just strafe those targets down.
I was thinking that if the target hardness of the buildings in the cities were increased to the point were they could not be destroyed by strafing, these small bombs would have a purpose in the game. Right now, a few Jugs or Chogs can strafe down a city in minutes. If these buildings required an explosive force to knock them down, the 190F8 and Il-2 would have a very useful roll in the MA. Also, I think it's a bit unrealistic for a factory building to be knocked out by one strafing run of a Jug or Chog. A 50kg bomb will do serious damage to a building, but .50 cal or even 20mm rounds will just chew up the outside, leaving the building still functional.
Just an idea.
