Incorrect, never stated German planes carried their maximum bomb load. But nice try.

I already know that exists, and again, what something did carry and what it could carry are two separate things entirely.
If we go by what planes carried, then all factions would have planes armed with essentially nuke.
oh i know but doesn’t mean they can’t give p-38 the extra 4 rockets

I never said they couldn’t though, I want them to carry more, however, it would be a hell of a lot of an easier process to show the developers that we have these official sources, we have these valid documents, we have this actual solid proof no one can deny that the plane should carry more than it does ingame.
Edit: I’m still trying to find documents attesting to what the P-38 carried in combat under normal circumstances, I’m finding several manuals for it, but they only state the maximum bomb-load, not what it normally carried, which is useless.
Yet you’re denying every bit of proof we give you. Not hypocritical at all.

that’s the issue because not many ww2 documents actually survive and even then they would carry variety of payloads up to that maximum, like that thunderbolt video from the US national archives it shows them carrying 2 of what looks to be around 100-500 pound bombs as well as at least 6 rockets

Yes, that is the problem I’m having. We have several, but nothing specific enough that we can use as justification to push to the devs.
Looks more like 500s to me, but even so, with that video included, it should’ve been in the original post, it’d also be for the best if we can find more things like that to substantiate the claim further.
yeah until then we need to keep on hoping

Hope won’t do much, actual evidence will get us a lot further. Enough that no one can deny it.
Except you of course

and the point of the entire thread is that German bomb loads are too high and require 0 skill

You know warthunders planes/ vehicles and loadouts have to pass a documents check. I think it’s fair to say what’s in warthunder can apply here.
Therefor lots of bombs

I like how the thread was about German bombloads being too large and a certain unnamed individual derailed it into PROOFS posting about Allied close air support
Also this, and also why we don’t need to provide sources for planes unless said plane wasn’t already in WT.

This one:
Yeah you can see a triple “bazooka” under a wing plus a bomb of some sort - biggger than 100lb I reckon, plus a centerline fuel tanks. This is apparently italy 1943.
20:06 and a few seconds after some a/c carrying bombs only, at least 1 has rockets + bombs - lead a/c so section leader I guess.

Doesn’t need nerfing - it is reasonably accurate except he 110G night fighter at Normandy!!
Gove allies more reasonable bombloads is “all” that is required.
I think allied bomb loads right now are where all bomb loads should be- has potential but you still have to be smart with it.
Buffing allied bomb loads will just make the overall problem worse.
