WW2 planes weapon loadouts

Right now we have no bombs modeled for the P51, but it might come in the future. We are also discussing of changing the Messerschmidt loadout as it currently is very strong both as fighter and bomber.

Just keep what it has in real life on it if its currently the case. Haven't compared. We go up against much worse on insurgency so no rush to nerf any thing.

Yes lets take the 20mm out and put 30mm in (I'm joking, please don't, 20mm is balanced 30mm will be 1 hit kill on anything but a heavy fighter/bomber). 109 g-6 is pretty much the start of the beastly eras for the 109. Stronger weapons and better engine, saying keep what it has in real life is kind of a weird statement to make since there were multiple things that can be changed in the 109 in terms of armament. Hell this thing could even mount under wing cannons which will make it even more dangerous. The devs are close to the fine line, right now, between balance and outright OP.

Just a note the p51 variant in game can only hold 2 bombs or/and 6 rockets. The rockets are varied between AT (HVAR) and HE ( M8 ).

So any plans to do something about it in incoming new version? Kessel is unplayable sometimes, especially layout with 4 planes per team (4x 250kg bombs and barrage of rockets). So either adding variants of planes without bombs/rockets or temporary solutions like giving P51 SC250 bombs or turning Ju87B into pseudo D variant with 3x 500kg bombs etc. are really needed.

Also remember to consider changing respawn times depending on the plane loadout. For example map have 4 planes, two of them have bombs and should have 10 minutes respawn, other two are escort planes and should have 5 minutes.
