Level stabilizer "fix" in the next patch? (To luthier)

and not to forgett, it would be nice if one would be able to release bombs with a shortcut from the bombardier position....

Yes, i've made a bug report of this in the relevant thread, compiled in a list along with every other bomber-related bug i've managed to find or bugs that other people have observed independently that i could replicate (stuck directional gyro in the Ju88, top turret controls in the Br.20 are reversed, He-111 loses a bomb when opening bomb bays if you change settings in the bomb distributor).

Looks like the issues with the HE-111'a autopilot wasn't addressed in this patch. Hopefully next time.

no issue about the bombers was fixed. Nothing was mentioned in the readme, so, no surprise....

@Blackdoc_kt, regarding the long-ish post on this page:
Yeah, that's what I wanted to know. So that new course-holding autopilot is more like the real WWII thing than the old level stabilizer, right? So, this one time, Lstab could be left out on purpose and just be there for legacy reasons or for future use.

its in no way realistic the way it works now. The bombadier would never have to setup and fly the plane with trims or solely rely on an autopilot to keep his plane level and its absolutely impossible to do when there flak flying around because the slightest knock means you're back to square one.

I highly doubt they intended to not include alevel stabaliser.

sure, in real there were two persons, the bombardier and the pilot.....
Except for Multiplay (and there most propably not often), you are alone in your Multicrew bomber.

There for there have to be limitations in "beeing real" IMHO

We will see what future will bring for CoD Bomber"Pilots"

A quick look on wikipedia would have yielded this for you:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombardier_%28air_force%29

And what are bombers supposed to do, according to you, when encountering flak? Flying slalom around them? Or having the waist gunner equipped with a frying pan, in order to knock the shells back to sender?
