Oleg said the rockets were included as a sop to those who wanted to fly Typhoon-type missions. But the point is valid - where does the quest for realism end? I can't see people voluntarily removing particular loadouts no matter how unrealistic. :wink:
The twin MK 108 gondolas on certain late war 109s are historically incorrect.
Butch2K (Oleg's main Luftwaffe advisor) confirmed on the Ubi board that they were included as a 109 loadout by mistake - they were never used operationally due to vibration problems. He told Oleg this on several occasions, but was apparently ignored!
I also heard that the IL2's phosphorous bomb VAP 250s and mustard-gas AJ2 cassette were very rarely used and are historically irrelevant, but they do add to the gaiety of life (or death, rather).
