Can't select Bombs on FW190 A8 BON Career.

[Gl-l0st]

I'm currently doing BON Career mode flying the Fw190 A8 and in the weapon settings screen the ETC 501 Centerline Bomb Rack is locked so you can't carry any bombs for vehicle column attacks.

This happened with the Kuban career flying the Fw190 A5, however if I deleted all the pilots from the mission then selected add pilots the bomb selection would change from locked out to selectable.

In the Normandy Career deleting all the pilots and then re-adding them doesn't alter the weapon settings for bombs from being locked out so there is no Bomb option in this career flying the Fw190 A8, is this a bug or is the lockout correct for this plane?

 

Many thanks.

No bugs here - Luftwaffe day fighters did not carry bombs in Normandy after the first few days of the invasion. It was then all strafing attacks or what was called Werfereinsatz - attacks with BR21 rockets. The only fighters (that are playable in career mode) carrying bombs were those of I./SKG 10 (then renamed III./KG 51), which flew at night. III./SG 4 was in the area for a while and also carried bombs, but they are not flyable in the Normandy career.
