Sorry I made a translating error with "design for 500kg bomb load"
but "the SB-2M100 could carry an internal bomb load of either TWO 250kg FAB-250 bombs or six 100kg FAB-100 general purpose bombs"
(cf. Squadron Signal - Aviation - In Action - 1194 - Tupolev SB2 p.9)

and page 29 we could see the two DER-23 for the FAB-250


and sorry for my poor english

Downloaded the excellent new patch with no problems, flew a few missions with the new aircraft, top work as always.

Now I like to dabble in the FMB, nothing too fancy. Just making fun little missions for my buddies to play on at our reqular LAN get togethers.

But then I saw it.....you've labeled the Objects list....you beautiful....BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE.
In the bin with my scrap paper notes on which object is which!

You guys are awesome

Lol. This is worth making a first post for.
I used the printed guides, but still. Glad to not have to use them anymore.

So did anyone observe the new mach number effect? I flew an online map in a Mustang versus J2M3's, I was still able to run away at will in a dive, but I got the impression that it was harder to achieve maximum dive speed.

Before I often got the Mustang close to 850km/h IAS when I wasn't being careful, this time I don't think I ever cracked 750km/h IAS. Performance at speeds below 600km/h seemed to be unaffected. Is this what the new effect is supposed to do?

I think you'll see a bigger difference between planes that had good diving capabilities and those that don't. The Mach effect, and forgive me if I get this wrong, has a lot to do with the drag of the airframe... so a clean aircraft like the Mustang will accelerate to its dive speed more quickly than something that isn't as aerodynamically clean. The J2M3 was fairly good at aerodynamics (if I remember right) so it may not give you a good example. Mustang compared to a A6M5 Zero might be a different story.

Makes sense, thanks.
