First of all I would like to thanks the FB team a lot for their continuing effort in improving IL-2 FB!

However I would like to make a few suggestions. These are not demands, or complaints or even less whines!

I know the theaters mentioned aren't always Russian, but maybe (probably) the VVS made their own loadout schemes that aren't present in FB at this moment.

Could the following historically correct bomb loadouts be made available for the following aircraft :

Bf 109F-2 and Bf 109F-4 : 4 x 50 kg under the fuselage; 1 x 250 kg under the fuselage. These aircraft had the same bomb loadout options as the Bf 109E-4/B on both the Western and Eastern front.

Hurricane I : 4 x 40 lb bombs under each wing (No. 80 Squadron, North Africa, summer 1941)

Hurricane IIB and Hurricane IIC : 1 x 250-500 lb bomb under each wing, 500 lb not often used (North Africa & Western Europe 1941).

P-40E (Kittyhawk IA) : 1 x 250 lb bomb under the fuselage; 2 x 250 lb bomb (in tandem or side by side) under the fuselage; 1 x 500 lb bomb under the fuselage. All this with or without 2 x 40 lb bombs under each wing (North Africa 1941-1942).

P-40M (Kittyhawk III) : 1 x 1000 lb bomb under the fuselage; 1 x 500 lb under the fuselage; 250 lb bombs : 1 or 2 x 250 lb bomb (in tandem or side by side) under the fuselage or 1 x 250 lb bomb under each wing or 1 x 250 lb bomb under each wing plus 1 x 250 lb bomb under the fuselage (Italy 1943).

Spitfire V : 1 x 250 lb bomb under the fuselage; 1 x 250 lb bomb under each wing (North Africa & Italy 1942-1943).

If I am the only one supporting these loadouts, I'll shut up and never ask again.

Thanks for your reactions!

And I didn't even mention an experimental torpedo for the FW 190A-5 and the Ju 87D-4.
Oops I did.

Yes, I must say I've found it strange that (for example) the Mk 2 b Hurri has under-wing weapon mounts, but no loadout options in the game

I wonder if this (and those others mentioned above) will be addressed in due course?

bump just out of interest

send your suggestions at il2beta@1c.ru if you want to be read

I did and received an autoreply notice. Hopefully they read the email because I suppose they receive hundreds every week.

Some bomb loadouts for the A6m5 and the Ki84 would be nice, at the moment they have zero (pun intended) proper AG ability.

i think all other missing loadouts will appear not before the payadon

like:
Bombs and Rockets for Hurricanes (VERY important)
Zero&Frank Bombs and Tanks
-/B for the Friedrichs
Panzerblitz2 for Fw190F
missing Bombs for He111

the P-51 is just a too important Plane for the market therefore they added loadouts now .

well i hope too Emil,because i'm sure they don't read the forums,except Oleg when he has spare time,wich is very occasional

Hopefully the P-51 will get some alternative payload options too.

Wing Tanks
Rockets

S!

I would also like to see:

1) "conventional" rockets on P47 and P51, 4 each side, not only these 3.5" tubes.

2) ETC50 rack for Dora so one can carry the 300L drop tank.

3) Ability to choose 2-cannon configuration WITHOUT the added bobm rack on FW190A-series.

4) Center drop tank for FW190A-8(at least)

Well..some to name in addition to others here.

Reply from Oleg Maddox to my email (same as my opening post):

We don't plan any additional loadouts except for German bombers on Expansion Pack CD

But I'm interested to look at the PHOTO of Hurricane with Soviet Rockets (not the pics)


Maybe some other time ...

Who has a photograph of the Hurricane he is refering to?

If they model the rockets correctly for P47 and P51 they will be almost useless. According to pilot reports those rockets lacked the guide rails used by the British and were wildly inaccurate.

Darn, that's too bad. I was hoping they would update some of the plane's loadouts to be more in line with what they were able to carry. Oh well, I'll just have to be happy with what I have, and I'm pretty darn happy!
