simple wish.
« on: October 12, 2011, 04:00:26 AM »
for planes that carry both internal, and external bombs. (a20,mossie) could we have an "IN" or some type of symbol added to the cocpit ammo box so we can tell whether we have the internal bombs selected or the external?

I hate when im divebombing strats/tanks/etc in an a20, and my run is ruined because i have the internal selected when i thought i had external  :(

For now I recommend before T/O you check which bombs get selected first or open you bomb doors when you planning on dropping wing bombs.

Open bay before dropping in... problem solved. :)

Some folks, like me, prefer to drop the wing bombs first to kill off drag

Also it increases your roll rate.
