Not quite that simple; the 1000 and 1800 bombs would exclude any wing ordnance. The "Satan" also required an extended, fixed tail wheel to make the bomb clear the ground. However the wing options should include 50kg and 250 kg bombs, "butterfly" cluster bombs, 300L droptanks (G-series 190), 210mm rocket mortars, PB1 and PB2 (R4M) anti-tank rockets, and various gun pods.

It also required a well prepare long hard runway.

Yeah, well that's not a problem in AH. We have an abundance of nice flat tarmac that would make every Ostflieger green with envy.

I just double checked the available number of "slots" that HTC can currently put available in the hanger.  It is 6, or 7 if we are to include the "empty" table.

Centerline, I think the drop tank, 4/50kg, 250kg, 500kg, 500 SAP, and 1000kg should be available.  The 1800kg is best left for the He111 and mighty Stuka, imo.  :aok

On the wings (total), the 4/50kg, 2/250, 12/Pb1 rockets, and a pair of drop tanks would be good. I'm not exactly sure of the details of the R4M rockets.  Gun pods would be nice to have, especially the 30mm Mk 103's, but again the questions are many.

From there it is each to figure out, HTC wouldn't have to restrict anything per say. 

However, if you take the centerline 1000kg you can't have any wing ord (except perhaps fuel in the G-series).

The 1000lb bomb would be the AP bomb from the Ju-87, no?

It came in armor piercing (PC) and high explosive (SC) variants.

And it's 1000 kg not lb.

Hmmmm.... Could we get rid of that 500kg SAP bomb, and get both types of 1000kg bomb?

Cause I could see cases where both would be very usefull.

I would be happy just to get the wing mounted 250kg bombs.

I wonder what the performance would be like with the Mk-103 gun pods. That thing would be the bane of any bomber formation.

They were used in very limited numbers in the anti-tank role using APCR. It was found that the rockets were a better option.
