So, we can forget about light bombs? Or not?

Not sure, what you mean (if you posted it already in this thread, just give me a link... I didn't read every page personally).

Oh, sorry) I meant "illuminating" or "flare" bombs. In ohter words - bombs for an illumitaing or a targets marking in night time. Not sure what is their right name in English. In German it sounds "Leuchtbombe", in russian "SAB" or "САБ" - "светящая авиационная бомба". See here - http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=161

Well... we have flares with other planes too, so I see no reason, why it shouldn't be implemented (I suppose it was used during the whole war) - even more, if we are going to expand the nightfighting scenario.

I think, such general armament options aren't as critical as planes (regarding 1C and CoD).

1. Can you create a Ju88 A-4 field mod.? That would mean th inclusion of the A-17 forward MG FF installation, exhaust covers and the upper rearward firing MGs siwtched for MG131s. Should give us a decent mid war version for the Eastern front.
2. Could the 300l and 900l fuel tanks be given to the Ju88 and He111 bombers?
3. Will the Beaufighter get a british torpedo or will the American MK13 stay?

P.S.: Please, also check the Ju88 Jumos for correct specifications. I do remember that there was something not quite correct with them.

Yes, that would be awesome, those night missions are some of my faves.

Sorry for the quote, but I am really puzlled about which planes have flares on 4.101.

But if you are really on it, I may ask for them to be visible from far up on clear skyes. Something around 10000m perhaps... Normal lights and fires on il2 don't show that far away. The 10000 mark on the assumption that I must see the flares not only directly from above, but at least from a 45º position at 7000m.

Now, also on flares, they were used as formations signaling, better understood than any radio chatter. They were fired from the cockpit with a flare hand gun. This would be far more apropriate than people firing smoke, or using landing lights on full daylight as a signaling method. Flares are limited on availability as ammunition, and hangs around for a while suspendend on parachutes before flaming out.

Interesting suggestions.

However, I'm not sure about which planes all have flares... but I know, that at least the Letov biplane has.

The Swordfish has flares as well IIRC..

Take a look on the diferent cockpits. You will see them hanging near the window on all the airplanes that do have them.

At least all Bf109 have, and I believe that almost all early allied airplanes also do.

On the 109 in particular, flares are the special motive behind the triangle slider.

Anyway, this is just a wild sugestion, I will be really happy with just having this as a pathfinder weapon. The mosquito was the main user of this.

But germans used something similar, with incendiary bombs dropped by KG100 on England, KG100 being a special unit radio guided over the target.

The radio vectoring we allready have, but the incendiary bombas aren't there.
