Title: FM2 Wildcat Bomb Load
Post by: xtyger on September 09, 2007, 11:43:47 AM

According to this pagehttp://www.history.navy.mil/photos/ac-usn22/f-types/fm2.htm (http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/ac-usn22/f-types/fm2.htm) the FM2 could carry two 250 pound bombs. The game only allows a couple hundred pounders, doesn't it? How about giving us the 250 pound bombs for the FM2?

dont take this the wrong way but it says 6 rockets OR 2 250lb bombs,, on AH we get 2 100lb bombs and the rockets.

I wouldn't mind being stuck with the either/ or choice. I nearly always leave the 100 pounders behind anyway. About the only thing you can use the 100 pounders on is gun positions, resupply convoys, barges and such.

I imagine the reason for that was the rockets wouldn't fit on the wings alongside 250 lb bombs. I see no mention of the 100 lb bombs on that web site. Wonder if, in the real world, they couldn't fit the 100 lb bombs on with rockets either?
