Suggestion for use of the new loadout option

[Karnak]

The new loadout option,

Added the ability to disable specific weapon loadout options from a plane

seems like a very useful addition.

As an initial use of it I would suggest limiting loadouts in the Early-War and Mid-War arenas, where appropriate.

For example, the Mosquito should not have the option to carry rockets in the Mid-War arena.  I am sure other aircraft will have similar issues.

Post other loadout options that should not be available in the Early or Mid war arenas, please.

To me the biggest single advantage would be limiting ords to 250/less options at small, 500 lb/medium and only enabling 1,000lbers at large fields. That would separate out the "strategic" war and make defending the zone bases more important...

Any 1000lb bomb on a fighter in EWA and MWA?

4k cookie in lancs in EWA?

When was the 6-gun package on the F4F-4 introduced?



I don't know about any others off the top of my head. The major ones that came to mind were the mix-matched 109 and spits, but those were sorted out when they were remodeled.

I think it's a server-wide setting, not a field-specific one.

The 4,000lb 'cookie' was used pretty early.  Not sure when off hand, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if it is appropriate to Early War.

The F4F-4 rolled from the factory with 6 guns. The F4F-3 had the four-gun package. She was also a bit lighter and had a much longer range.

This looks to me like it was tailor made for events such as FSO, although as posted it will add more control to early and mid war also. Long overdue, glad to see we finally got it.

Up until May 1941 several 4000lb HC bombs had been used by Bomber Command and by August 1941 226 bombs had been dropped with no proved failures. The bombs were formally introduced into service in January 1942 as the Mark I.
