TrashedPanda Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Hi all, this may be a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure out how to unlock certain things for aircraft in career mode, such as the rocket launchers or 150 octane fuel for the p51. I tried starting my career late in the battle and as a commander but nothing worked. Is there a way to unlock these things for use in career mode? Thanks
40plus Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Plane configuration is determined by the mission. You don't get to change it.
RedKestrel Posted January 15, 2020 Posted January 15, 2020 Additionally, some modifications are available in the game but may be only available either very, very late in the war, or not available for the squadron you are in , or just not available in Career mode. Most of the continental-based USAAF squadrons did not receive 150 octane fuel IIRC, it was mostly available to the 8th AF fighters for escort duties deep into Germany.

Correct, 150 octane fuel was not delivered to USAAF units on the Continent, because it was seen as unnecessary. The rocket tubes and radio compass of the P-51 were mods seen only in the Pacific and the Far East. 1

I guess I had always assumed they were used in the same way as with the P-47s! TMYK.jpg
TrashedPanda Posted January 16, 2020 Author Posted January 16, 2020 That makes sense, however I am disappointed about the rockets... Thanks everyone for the help!
