Option for five - 100 kg bombs for Ju 87 R2 -Tunisia

As someone who plays all factions pretty much equally I’ve noticed a lot of Axis fighter-bombers and light bombers have less than attractive bomb loadouts compared to their Allied counterparts.

The newbie BF 110 Moscow Campaign has two 250 kg bombs and you’re forced to drop them both in one payload. Compare to IL-2 or PE-3 which have multiple payloads and rockets for IL-2 I choose Allies every time. Please consider to add to the Moscow 110 add another 2 - 50 kg bombs and allow pilots to drop the 250 kg bombs separately for total of 3 payloads.

Another example. The newbie Stuka Ju 87 R-2 only has a single 500 kg bomb. I’d much rather have 5 - 100 kg bombs spread out over two or 3 payloads any day in Enlisted. If we were hunting Battleships maybe the 500, but not for CAS in Enlisted. In comparison Allied attack
Plane in Tunisia has multiple bombs to drop over 2 payloads. Again Allies > Axis.

Having the option to drop multiple bombs spread out over an area in several passes is much more effective in a game like enlisted. When you can only drop a single bomb or you are forced to drop your only two bombs in one pass on a single target it’s often overkill and/or not as effective as multiple bombs spread out over a larger area.

i don’t know how that could be possible considering germany never made 100 kilo bombs only 50 kilo, 250 kilo, 500 kilo and the 1000 kilo

I want bombs or rockets on every fighter plane that could carry one, even the smallest bombs like 50 kg or 100 lbs would be enough to do something more than just waiting for enemy to spawn in airplane and trying to shoot them before they suicide crash into the ground (as many still do).

While I I appreciate historical accuracy, I have to wonder if you don’t truly comprehend what I’m getting at? Honestly?

Swap the single 500 kg for:

x 1 - 250 kg bomb(single drop)
x 5 - 50 kg bombs

Total payloads = 3

This is much more attractive and worth the time, per trip(drop bombs and reload) compared to a single 500 kg bomb.

The R stuka was made for taking out tanks specifically

And the Allied plane in Tunisia was made to sink ships mostly. So by your logic it should have Torpedos….

Yeah I know and completely agree, the dauntless doesn’t even belong in the game

dauntless was a mix of a torpedo bomber and a dive bomber and it was used by the army airforce under the name “A-24” but if that isn’t good enough for you then USS ranger was also in the area for operation torch which ended when the battle of tunisia began

The Dauntless also participated in operation Torch flying from the Ranger, they absolutely operated in the threader.
Also the Dauntless was a dedicated carrier dive bomber, they didn’'t normally carry torpedoes at all, the torpedo airframe was the Devastator.

I’m just hoping we get a few options for bomb loadouts. Nothing super complicated and of course nothing game breaking OP. Just the option to drop 250 kg bombs ONE AT A TIME if we only carry 2 and the option to carry the 500kg or several smaller bombswith multiple payloads.
