If you are saying buff hunting is too dangerous then you just don't use the right tactic. I take a plane with plenty of guns like the P47, the B25 (the one without the 75mm), or the A20-G although it is less effictive at this, or a plane with huge guns like the P39 or the B25 with the 75mm. I know a hit with that thing is unlikely but still a hit with the P39's 37mm (I think) cannon will kill most if not all fighters. That means the 75mm will kill a four engined bomber and DESTROY anything with 2 engines or less. well anyway, you want to come in at high speed like from a good dive, and at a 20-30 degree downward angle and shoot up the length of the bomber. I once came in at full speed with a P51 (I needed to intercept him fast) and shot up the bomber and I think took out the chin turret, without taking a single bullet. I estimate it would have taken 4 good solid passes to kill him but a slower Fw190 finally caught up and killed my bomber. (muttered and kidding) damn cannon S.O.B. took my kill  :mad:

NO SCREW YOU!!!!!!     all the newbies would want to bomb but cant because they dont have enough perks!!!  that would suck!  plus if they perk bombs might as well add bombers to attack and take out bomber ranks

Lighten up little kid, it's just a wish and one that hopefully will be coming soon.  The fact is there were certain ordnance packages that some planes used that we cannot use in game due to the limitations of the ordnance system.  That's why planes like the B-25H can't carry rockets, torpedoes or HVAR rockets. 

There also some ordnance packages we have in the game that are used quite regularly when in real life, those loadouts were rarely used.  Perking these types of ordnance packages would help get rid of some of the gamey 'Pork N' Auger' sorties.

So, yes to a perked ordnance system.
