P47 Payload

[PatrickAWlson]

Recently (I think with the introduction of the D-22 but I'm not sure) the P-47 payload changed. it used to have quite a number of different payloads.  Now there is absolutely no ground attack payload available in the ME.  In weapons modifications, there is only one option: "P-47 Ground Attack" available.  That one option puts one bomb on the P-47.  What happened to all of the other payloads?  I have to be missing something.

EDIT: I found a better way...

The new hotness...

So they made payload selection dependent on weapons masks?  It used to be the opposite ... and sometimes still is the opposite?  Or no?  Looks like only the P-47 was impacted although it could be the case that others were impacted and it has not been noticed.

 

Anyhow, that answers the question, so thanks for taking the time to post.  I think that I have some work to do in terms of revisiting payloads.

Payloads have always (at least since I've been playing IL2) been tied to modifications. See here:

The P47 and P38 data associations are a bit different though.  Every other plane has a bomb loadout as a payload that is available in the payloads drop down.  You do not have to select a mod first to see it. 

 

Thanks for the response.  That was what I needed.  Uploading a new PWCG version now that properly  takes advantage of the different load options.
