why are they introducing a fighter with two 500 pound bombs? its seems like such a strange decision to me to introduce a new fighter with 3-5 times the bomb load of almost all other fighters in game. especially right after they introduced 6 seperate fighters with not a single rocket or bomb between them in tunisia, in addition to 2 more in moscow.
i thaught they were intentionally giving fighters smaller bombloads to incentivise going for bombers instead of just bombing yourself. but the new P-51 just takes a complete 180 and gets a bombload rivaling that of the Bf 110 C-7 and IL-10
some people have aslo taken this as if the p-51 has rockets aswell. i thaught they just missread it since it seemed to be directed at the me 410. but looking at the picture, the P-51 actually has the same rocket mounts (? idk what its called) as the P-47. so i really hope thats just the people who modeled it being lazy
I’m surprised everyone missed it, too. Bombs of course are not very strong now, but still this fighter will carry half the bombs of the A-20.
Recall that the bomb load of the Bf-109 was reduced from one 250kg bomb to four 50kg bombs
No, on level 27 we got a fighter from the Axis and a bomber from the US.
Now the equilibrium is being restored so that everyone has an equal number of planes of each class.
The P-51 will be a fighter and that is odd
Maybe, but it sounds like a stupid design to me. Give the U.S. a powerful bomber, but why suddenly have a fighter with a bunch of bombs that allows you to do a suicide carousel and throw them endlessly if you’re on defense.
I admit and don’t mind the U.S. having an air advantage if the Axis tanks are better.
But still, a fighter must remain a fighter.
The Axis got a useless Me that is almost indistinguishable from the Bf110
