     How about a new command .salvo kitchen sink  :D

+1

I've wanted to drop everything, all at once, with a single push of a button, often.  At the very least, the wing and center-line bombs of a Jug.

Or, did you mean?: http://www.history.navy.mil/nan/backissues/2000s/2001/mj01/korea.pdf

U.S. Navy Ltjg. Carl B. Austin (2nd from left) below his Douglas AD-4 Skyraider of attack squadron VA-195 Dambusters with a special ordnance aboard the aircraft carrier USS Princeton (CVA-37) in August 1952. VA-195 was assigned to Carrier Air Group 19 (CVG-19) for a deployment to the Korean War from 21 March to 3 November 1952. The "special weapon" was a 454 kg (1000 lb) bomb with a kitchen sink attached. The idea came up, when the squadron's executive officer LCdr. M.K. Dennis remarked during a meeting with the press: "We dropped everything on them (the North Koreans) but a kitchen sink." Royal J. Deland, ADC, and J. Burnett, ADC, then produced a bomb with a kitchen sink attached. Obviously the commanding Admiral was not pleased by this and would not allow to drop the bomb for a week. However, press coverage in the United States obviously led to the dropping of this bomb in August 1952 on Pyongyang by Lt.(jg) Carl B. Austin.[

You can hit bombers with A-G rockets? You must be pretty good...or are you firing A-A rockets at hangars?
Actually the BF110 G2 in the game only comes with 2 or 4 WGr21 rockets which are A-A rockets, and yes, quite a few use them as they do cause blast damage to GVs and Hangers. When attacking a VH, the heavy gun package with the 4 rockets will take out a VH on 1 pass. :neener: :salute

     Actually WW, the Phantom had something like this.  There is a dial on the left about halfway down.  This is the
station select switch for the different weapons stations.  The red button in the middle drops all the pylons/stations
at once.  It's not a bombing mode, more like a "something wrong with the bird, get rid of everything and clean her
up!" mode  :D

Somewhat related, but more just wondering if this happens to anyone else... When I drop bombs from the bomb sight, the game will often times catch for a brief moment.  It basically freeze frames for an instant, and then is back to my normal 50-60 FPS.  The best I can figure is that the sound pack for the bombs coming out of the bay (that click noise) hates my computer.  The strangest thing is, I used to experience this on my old rig as well, with entirely different system components.  The other strange thing is, it doesn't happen every time.  More like 30-40% of the time.  I'll do some more research when I get home tonight to get better numbers.

Basically it means I cannot pickle off a couple bombs in quick succession with salvo 1, as by the time my game catches back up I'm past my target.  Also, it only seems to happen when I drop from a bomb sight.  I've never experienced it (or perhaps it is not as noticeable?) in JABO sorties.  Anyone seen anything similar?  It could very well be that I'm entirely crazy...  :uhoh

Need I say it? Remove that bomb whistle sound! It's not worth that kind of side effect!  :P

(You can go in and add/remove piece meal, you don't need to remove the entire sound pack)

Either that or you are running on onboard sound (stealing CPU Cycles) or USB headset (same)

If you have a sound card, then you have an issue someplace, best to fix it.
Start by returning to default sounds and see if you still have an issue.


Does the same thing happen when you pull the trigger?
