I assume this applies to a number of a/c but I noticed it on the A20
if you carry the same armament in the bombay as on the wing stations there is no way to tell which armament you selected (e.g. if you take 4x500lb in each station then both stations show 4B50). A couple of times now I've headed into my run thinking I have selected the wing station but when I attempt to drop I get "Doors are Closed" because I have in fact got the bombay selected (followed by much cursing). Since the bay doors now cause drag I don't particularly want open them just in case. Please can we have some way or distinguishing between weapon stations with identical armaments?

Mossie and Il-2M work exactly the same.
In the case of the A-20G it starts with the bombs in the bomb bay selected (ordanance 1) and hitting Backspace switches to the bombs under the wings (ordanance 2).
In the case of the Mosquito you start with machine guns and cannons selected, hitting Backspace selects the bombs in the bomb bay (ordanance 1) and hitting Backspace a second time selects the bombs under the wings (ordanance 2).
In the case of the Il-2M you start with machine guns and cannons selected, hitting Backspace selects the bombs under the wings(ordanance 1) and hitting Backspace a second time selects the bombs in the bomb bays (ordanance 2).
So, the A-20G and Mosquito go bomb bay first, then wings. (ordanance position 1 is the bomb bay and ordanace position 2 is the wings)
The Il-2M goes wings first, then bomb bays. (ordanance position 1 is the wings and ordanance position 2 are the bomb bays)
It'd be nice if they all worked the same, but ah well.
You just have to remember what you have selected.

not that much drag

i'd like an indicator as well, but for now I just open doors before my dive that way it doesn't matter which +)
