The pair of 100 pound bombs it has are useless against tanks and almost useless against infantry, I think a 250 pound bomb should be add along with the pair of 100 pounders we already have, if that’s not possible then bombs should be buffed to the point where 100 pounders can actually do damage again.

They’re not useless you just have to be more accurate.
I think the working assumption right now is that they probably intended to give it the 500 pounder because that would be consistent with what the Italians get with the RE 2001.
Letting it keep the two 100s as well would seem well a bit unfair given the Italian fighter could actually carry a much larger bomb and they modeled it with.

The 100 pounders are useless against tanks all I get is hit markers and before you say again it’s my aiming with them I’ve been playing since early 2021 so I’m not a new when it comes to bombing and aiming where my bombs land, the 100s suck and that’s that. I however would totally be down with a single 500 pound bomb.
all all I can say is that I can kill tanks with one hundred pound bombs, or 50 kg bombs, but it’s definitely not easy to do so, I miss more than I kill. Let’s put it that way, my limited experience flying in the P 40 in Stalingrad has made me not terribly impressed with it as an aircraft, but this is also true of every flight sim I’ve ever flown it in, and I’ve never particularly cared for it, so I’m not going to be purchasing it for use in Tunisia.

I just had to try it after reading this topic. 
This is practice mode with the SBD-9 (2x100lbs).
Not impossible, not easy, accuracy is key.

I killed King Tigers with 50kg bombs on La5 who are exactly the same and P40 is a fighter not a CAS … like said learn to be more accurate

Requires a direct hit.
I take back everything I said about the 100s being useless, after a couple tries I was able to get a couple kills on the test range, so my bad.

A direct hit but not on the armored part
