How many rockets could the tiffie carry?

[Furball]

should make the overloaded aircraft perk options

What version of the Me 262 carried bombs?

The one we have might not have been able to carry them.
Maybe its time for a German Mutant Plane?

The one with dual pylons under the forward fuselage for the bombs and only 2 cannons.  Me262A-2a

Actually, no. There are photographs of Me-262A-1a aircraft (in particular, wk/nr 110813 of KG(j)51) carrying SC250 bombs on the nose racks with four cannon, as well as the Me-261A-2a version with only two cannon (as in 9K+BN of 5./KG(j)51), possibly a Me-262A-2a/U1, in which the space freed up by the removed cannon was used for a bomb-aiming device. So both the A-1a and A-2a versions could[/u] carry bombs; which particular aircraft of the A-1a version had the bomb rack mounts depended on the individual production -- most of the A-1a aircraft did not have the bomb rack fittings. There was also a single Me-262A-2a/U2 where the entire nose section was replaced with a nose blister and space for a bombardier to lay in the nose and operate a bombsight, which carried no cannon at all.

Bet that was very cramped, and scary because i don't think it would be 2 easy to bail out....

Just because the tiffie could carry 16 rockets doesn't mean that that feature shuld be added to AH.

For example, a P-47D could carry 2x 1k, 1x500, and 10 rockets, but it didn't regurlarly happen. Therefore, the P47 should not have that weapon layout available either.

I think by lowering the payloads of some fighters to somthing more realistic, several gameplay issues would go away.

I can't see anyone above requesting the Typhoon to have 16 rockets in AH.  Thrila is simply asking a question about a picture showing 16 rocket loadout on the Typhoon.

Shiva, yes what you say is true, but the Me262A-2a was a true bomber design while the 1a was a fighter, adapted to the bomber role.

I got the impression that some of the respondants were trying to draw attention on how it was lacking from AH, therefore subtly implying that it should be added.

I think Hazed also got that impression because he made the comment "oh and if we gonna start the 'i want' business..."

damn. I feel like a lawyer.
