reported Incorrect cluster munition masses

[xvii-Dietrich]

The masses of the cluster munitions for the FW 190 A-8 do not match historical values.

 

Method for testing: DCS values were taken by comparing the "empty" loadout total aircraft mass to the "loaded" total aircraft mass. Care was taken to leave the pylon fitted, as this is not included in the historical munition masses (Gesamtgewicht; see references below).

AB250 (w/ SD10A)
DCS = 253kg
Historical = 220kg

 

AB250 (w/ SD2)
DCS = 290kg
Historical = 280kg

AB500 (w/ SD10A)
DCS = 500kg
Historical = 470kg

Easy win for ED to tweak these values, surely?

Yes would be great as we don't have much that can haul bombs for the axis forces. So it would be great if they worked.

Yes these issues need resolved , hopefully these testing provided by dietrich here will help ed resolve this quickly

Thanks for the detailed write-up @xvii-Dietrich

 

Would be nice if we could get resources dedicated to this issue right away.
