More Ordnance

[ONTOS]

 I  wish for PTAB's to be added to the Il-2's please. They had them, so can we.

I wish for the full load-out of the P38 (2x2klbs center, or 4 additional 500 or 250 lbs on top of the 2x1klbs we already have, and 2x 500 or 250 lbs on the wings instead of the rockets, or 2 troops (one under each wing)).

Any links to that beast? Would be cool to see pictures!

Google finds some images: https://www.google.com/search?q=p-38+lightning+bombs&tbm=isch
Wikipedia has the numbers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_P-38_Lightning#Specifications_(P-38L)

Those appear to be field mods but maybe I'm mis interpreting the captions. Those loadouts would certainly be interesting to use though!

  Yeah, definitely look like field mods. I have never seen an official source that listed the extra bombs, or bombs in place of the rockets.  I have seen lots of references to field mods of all types on all types of planes.

  I would definitely like to see the 2K bomb option.  The problem would be that the 2K option is only for level bombing. You will have people crashing all over the place and telling Hitech he did it wrong because they can't dive bomb safely with 2000 pound bombs.

  I remember a conversation with a P38 pilot who said he had carried 2K bombs, but only for level bombing.

It would be interesting to see a p38 make a 5g turn with those loaded.

Stuka-G's could dive-bomb with a 1700 kilo bomb.

Stuka-G's could dive-bomb with a 1700 kilo bomb.

But did they pull 5 gs while holding said bomb?
