D3A Bomb Rack.

Not sure if it is a bug or by design.
The bomb rack for the center line bomb in game looks as if it should swing out to drop its bomb to miss the propeller like in the drawings.
It doesn't though.

All dive bombers had this feature to swing the bomb free of the prop. Neither SBD or the Stuka has it modeled either.

Yep. Here a SDB where the swing can be seen.
