reported AI only drop 2 bombs.

Been working on my own version of Operation jericho, and do not seem to be able to make the AI drop all their bombs on the first past. In fact, they seem to prefer using the exernal bombs, and never open their bomb bays at all. This is despite setting the menu to 'bombs' and to use 'all'. I had thought that it was a mismatch between having GP and MC bombs, but it seems, looking at ED's own version of Jericho, that they elected to just use internal bombs and not use the wing ones at all.

Is this a long standing issue?

So looking at this again, it seems the ai aircraft will drop 4 bombs, if ALL of the bombs carried are short tail. If there is a mixed configuration, such as at Amiens, with a configuraton of short tail internal and AP external, then it will just drop the 2 external bombs, the AP's, and not even open the bomb bay doors.

Can anyone else replicate this?
