TU-2S bombload.

What kind of load do you think it will carry? And where?

Do you think it will also carry externals? They did carry full bomb loads in the war so you think we'll have that option?

If I could read Russian I guess we could figure out with the text posted.
Blue prints show what it should be.

When I'm stuck with a manual in jpg format here is what I do.

This is an online keyboard with Russian letters. Print a copy of the page than sit down and type one letter a time.

Now for the Russian to English translator that you copy the Russian into and get an English translation.

It's how I discovered our I-16 is supposed to have real flaps, not flaperons. The I-16 Type 10 was updated in 1937 with real flaps.

I expect the three 1000kg load will be the most popular.  It kinda lacks utility though as it is total overkill for hangars, but probably pretty good at GV smashing.  The three 500kg load would be just as good for hangars and allow improved climb and speed.  The six 250kg loadout should also be useful for taking out radars, ammo dumps and barracks, but it will also completely eclipse the four 250kg loadout.  The nine 100kg bombs and two 250kg? 500kg? bombs also seems like it might be a good mix, particularly if the two external bombs are 500kg.

Not sure what to make of the bottom right loadout.  Maybe they are 500kg high capacity bombs?  The label for the large finned 500kg bombs is "A6-500" (I know it isn't a 6, but that is the closest I can come to that symbol on my keyboard) and the label on the bottom right is "ABK-500".

Looks more like a subcaliber ammo container - AFAIR they had 2kg anti-personnel bombs in those devices.

Well what I was hoping was for this kind of selection for different type missions that pop up. I'll be glad to see an assortment of bomb loads available.
