III/JG52_Llucmk Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 I would like to know if i'm correct or not... But, this 2 past weeks has been a little strange... In Dev Dairies said that He-111 would be released without bomb load until yesterday, but has been all the past week with bombload. So i thought they were referring to the second Bomb way... (Right now He-111 has only 1 and if i'm not wrong, had 2 bomb way and could carry 2000kg. That would be 32x 50kg bombs and some more bombs. ¿why anyone said anything about this?
oneeyeddog Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 The other bomb bay is covered by an rack to which the external bombs can be attached. initially no bombs were to be available for the 111 until this week, but we got access to them earlier than expected.
-NW-ChiefRedCloud Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Off topic oneeye but when I watching you and JimTM last night I noticed you had no pilot showing or AI gunners showing. How does that work? Is this something you turn on/off? Just curious. Chief
JtD Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) According to the He 111 manual there is only one internal rack for smaller bombs, and it was possible to load two external racks when the internal rack was kept empty, the right external rack sealing the internal bomb bay closed. The maximum bomb load would thus consist of 16 small bombs or 4 medium bombs plus one big one, or two big ones. The maximum bomb load listed is 3600kg, a variety of combinations being possible. I think that all loadouts listed in the manual are available in game. Edited August 30, 2014 by JtD

Chief Chief, I was unaware that we had no pilots or gunners so maybe what you saw was a bug or something . i know of no way to turn off the pilot/gunner animations. i saw your name pop up as you left, hope you're enjoying BoS as much as we are.

Which I could not find anywhere on the Internet.
JtD Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) I bought the manual from Luftfahrtarchiv Hafner several years ago. Several Heinkel documents are availabe at http://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/archiv/Dokumente/ABC/h/Heinkel/Heinkel%20AG.htm. You may need to register for full access. On the Russian version of this forum they have collected links to several documents for several aircraft, also among them a technical description for the Pe-2. No flight manual, though. http://forum.il2sturmovik.ru/topic/333-instrukcii-po-ekspluatacii-razlichnyh-samolyoto/ It is a good collection by now. Direct download Pe-2 technical description https://yadi.sk/d/si3cpric6I9XM Mind you, the German documents are in German and the Soviet documents in Russian. Edited August 31, 2014 by JtD
