wolle Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Please make the Ju-88 able to drop iron bombs (not just torpedos), or add another German bomber to the asset pack. Without a German bomber, WWII missions are severely hampered. .. 4 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Intel Core I7 4820K @4.3 GHz, Asus P9X79 motherboard, 16 GB RAM @ 933 MHz, NVidia GTX 1070 with 8 GB VRAM, Windows 10 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These were used extensively during the battle of Britain and the famous night raids on London were carried out by the 111. Right now we have no German bombers in the game. The Ju-88 is primarily a torpedo plane or heavy fighter, although it could carry bombs It would be nice to have something in a large formation to shoot at.

Mogster Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 That’s the thing about BOB scenarios, you can created realistic missions with a relatively small plan set. Hurri, Spit MK1, He111, Ju87, Me109E, Me110. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakkis Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 +1 Axis really needs a level bomber AI Asset. Iron Bomb Ju-88 would be an "easy" quick fix, He-111 ideally in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigg Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) Yeah an AI German level bomber is a necessity for the WW2 Assets Pack and not really sure why there is not already one. Edited January 16, 2021 by Brigg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philstyle Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 yes please. adding level bombing capability to the AI JU88 would make a big difference. 1 On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/philstylenz Storm of War WW2 server website: https://stormofwar.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhinofilms Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 +1. Would make so much sense to have flyable bombers with historically accurate bombsites and the ability to jump into turrets to fire at fighters, but if that's too ambitious at least balance the ME with German bombers that can bomb.

Nealius Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Also nerf the godlike Ju-88 AI tail gunners. They have higher accuracy than a modern jet's Vulcan cannon. Edited January 31, 2021 by Nealius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 +1 German AI target bombers please. The current Ju is great but its for torpedos. 1 ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar98 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 +1 Ju-88 A-4 should have a bombing capability (bomb bay doors are animated in the modelviewer). But yes, a He 111 H-xx would be fantastic, as would a Fw 200 C-3/C-4.

71st_AH Rob Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Turning the Ju-88 into a true bomber is an easy win but effort on the He-111 would not be a great investment right now. The maps we have are firmly set in 1944 and by 1943 the 111 was so outclassed that it was relegated to a transport role and ironically a torpedo bomber. If they are going to invest the effort in creating a new axis bomber, a Ju-188 would be a better option I that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are going to invest the effort in creating a new axis bomber, a Ju-188 would be a better option I that. Why? After the Ju88 the He111 was the most produced German bomber though, still in production to the point when piston bomber production was halted in late 1944. It could legitimately be present in any mission where a German bomber could turn up, BOB, Channel, Eastern front, Med right through the war. The 188 didn’t replace the Ju88, not many were made and if the squadrons were allocated any they’d be left in a corner and used for special missions requiring more speed and altitude like solo reconnaissance. By the time they were allocated to squadrons upgraded Ju88 versions were available that meant it wasn’t really much better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The maps don't really have dates and times on them. They're just maps. You can set any scenarios that you want with the ME. I am currently using The Channel Map for the new WW1 mod. The grass aerodromes Hawkinge and Lympne are a very close representation of what they had back then. There were no paved runways yet, so as you can see, using your imagination, the maps are pretty much generic. 3 hours ago, 71st_AH Rob said: If they are going to invest the effort in creating a new axis bomber, a Ju-188 would be a better option I that. Now this is a good idea. The more the merrier. If I want to set a 1940/41 BOB scenario, the He-111's and Ju-87 Stukas are necessary, and while we're at it, there is also a need for Hurricanes and early Spits. For later 1943/44 scenarios yes the Ju-188's and FW-200's would fill the bill, as would the Me-264. Bottom line though is that there currently are no German bombers in the game which for me at least, leaves a big hole to fill. As for the Ju-88 torpedo planes, I don't see any WWll ships to attack, or am I missing something? 1 SLAVA UKRAINI MoBo - ASUS 990FX R2 Sabertooth, CPU - AMD FX 9590 @4.7Gb.

Pikey Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 aye, we are currently very late war, for no other reason that what models they found first in TFC. I would prefer consistentcy in the matchups and work back. It's sad to see that a Hurricane gets put at the back of any queue by those "rules" but we have what we have and should use it and be as consistent as is possible before being imaginative. ___________________________________________________________________________ SIMPLE SCENERY SAVING * SIMPLE GROUP SAVING * SIMPLE STATIC SAVING * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rayrayblues Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 @Lee1That is true. This is an old thread though and since then the 88's have been given bombs. At the time of this writing it only came with torpedo's with no proper ships to sink. SLAVA UKRAINI MoBo - ASUS 990FX R2 Sabertooth, CPU - AMD FX 9590 @4.7Gb.
