Title: PTAB ordinance for IL2
Post by: Mister Fork on July 13, 2017, 03:50:10 PM

Especially if we're gonna start perking ordinance, I'd like to see the PTAB (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PTAB_(bomb)) added as an ordinance option for the IL2.

Was pretty effective as a weapon.

+1 I have ask for this before. It was a part of the ordnance package for the Il. Great suggestion.

+1 to ptabs in the Il-2 and Yak.

Add the ptab along with the Po-2. It could carry them also. It could be a perked observation plane.

Why perked? ENY 35 rather, it will not live long enough to deploy the bombs, pintle guns will have fun with it..

You know the PTAB would be a cluster munition, right?

Unless you happen to hit a mission spawning in, you might very well have to expend all your ordnance for a single kill.

As said before: I think that people overestimate the effect the PTAB will have in the game. Most players are accurate enough to kill GV:s with 250/500 lbs bombs so PTAB will not add anything to them. The IL-2 will be a bit more effective than w the 4x100 kg bombs but the drawbacks are that a GV hiding in the trees cannot be killed by PTAB munitions, it would require a direct hit on top of the tank to kill it and a tree will detonate the bombs before they hit the tank.
