Modding combat models for specific bomber types??

mandrill7 Wrote:As a mission designer, I've noticed that there are different types of "behaviour" hard-coded for specific different types of bombers. A-20's and B-25's have an "attack plane" model and they will strafe and buzz any ground target. Essentially, they will behave like big P-47's.

B-17's and Il-4's will not do this. Instead, they will fly nice and level and drop their bombs and then fly straight off.

Ju-88's and Pe-2's have a dive bomber model and will jink and bob a little before releasing their bombs. For this reason, you cannot use the Ju-88 as a low level attack plane as the entire schwarm will pile into the ground or sea as they take their attack positions. (Believe me, I've tried to get them NOT to do this. My efforts failed. I used He-111's in the low level mission instead.)

Has anyone figured out how to manipulate this coding to allow Ju-88's to be successful torpedo bombers, or A-20's to just drop their ordinance and fly straight on? (In the latter case, you can "sort of" tailor a mission to reduce this tendency to repeatedly strafe, but man, is it hard work!)

I might be wrong, but this site is about modding every thing EXCEPT FM's and weapons. If I wrong I'm someone will correct me.
