Title: B-17g
Post by: mitchk on June 19, 2003, 09:27:01 AM

I wonder if anyone has seen those old films of b-17s droping countles numbers of bombs?:confused:
 
  Why can't our b-17s do that? Why don't we get to cary that many bombs?:confused:

  If you go to WarbirdAlley.com you see that the b-17 can carry over 17,000lbs of bombs.:confused:

  Simplified: I want more bombs on the b-17.;)



 P.S. sorry I don't know how to make a link so you have to type the web site.:(

HTC decided to limit the B17G's bombload to what it usually carried on long range missions.

17600lbs was only possible on short range missions.
4000lbs - 6000lbs was carried for Berlin raids.

Id like to see Max TO weights in AH2, that way we could have your 17600lbs bomload for your B17 or 2 1800KG bombs for Ju88 :cool:

I asked about max TO weights on AH2 boards and got no answer.
HTC is just to busy right now so stop bothering them :D
