More ordnance updates....

I didn't misunderstand anything.  You were wrong and you're just trying to save face and backpedal by claiming you meant "SOME allied fighter..." instead of what you originally claimed in your post.  Remember the only result of backpedaling is that you'll eventually end up on your ass.

If we get more ordinance options:

Tiny Tims!
Centerline rack for the F4U-41D/C and 4 with the 2000lber as an option.

Since this is a ordinance related thread I'd like to ask here:

Whats the difference between the High Capacity and Light Case bombs ? They both seem to have the same effect in game. Are the HCs heavier performance wise? LCs aren't going to blow up if hit by enemy fire are they?

They are same thing... Htc is just using both acronyms.

[Mister Fork]

How about incindenary ordinance?

[Ack-Ack]

How about incendiary ordinance?

Would need to add fire damage to the game first before we get incendiary bombs.

I'd like to see some of this extended to ammunition: See actual differences between ball, AP, API, grenade, HE, etc.

Jeez AKAK, you on the rag or something? Tell me you've never misremembered anything and I'll say BS.

Now, one more time, do you know of any WWII Allied fighter capable of carrying 4x 1000lb bombs? Or maybe something like 4x 500lb bombs on double shackles, or inner and outer hardpoints?



EDIT: After taking another look at the P-38, it looks like I was remembering the P-38's 4x or 6x 250lb or 500lb bombs.

Better not dally around and wait too long in the pull out or your props will strike the bombs.

[Karnak]

I would like a P-38 that could carry six 500lb bombs in AH.  If it could do six 500lb bombs and ten 5" rockets all the better.  More P-38s being used as strike aircraft probably means fewer P-51Ds being used as strike aircraft and anything that reduces the numbers of P-51Ds is good.

That is a good info, thanks for posting.  I had forgotten that the P38 had a variant that has the Norden bomb sight and that a lead plane with the sight would usher a group of P38's not equipped with the sight to the target and while in formation would release the bombs based on the lead bomber.  Cool stuff.

[Tank-Ace]

I feel like that type of thing could work in Aces High. One bomber escorted by a large number of fighters....

[Karnak]

The Mossie 16 works well as a stand in for a Droop Snoot P-38.  It has similar performance to the P-38L and its bomb is large enough that it can be seen easily when it drops.  Run a formation of P-38Ls on a Mossie 16 lead ship in a USAAF skin, drop on the lead ship's drop.

I would like to see the. PTAB clusters modelled on the IL2-m3. This was the battlefield weapon that made the IL2 such a tank killer.
