Not just because it is historical and can be backed up with photographic evidence, it is also the only set that would lie within the limitations of the airframe. I do hope you made the MG151/20 the default for the Motorkanone, as that would be the single most important change of all.

And the Ju87 could do with the actual German drop tank model.
Zorin, noted. I'll keep in mind for future MODs, but I'll keep this as is (except for a potential re-release with the MG151/20 nose cannon). As I mentioned in the post:
Quote:Not all loadouts are confirmed historically, but are within the field packages which were available. In a whatif scenario, the mix of R1 and R4/R6 packages make the G-10 a particularly potent Jabo/Ground Attack plane.
As far as the limitations of the airframe, the wingloading of the G series could have handled the setup of the cannons plus the bombs (I cross reference everything with several references). The limited G-2/R1 Jabo-Rei, although rigged with a detachable landing gear handled 1x500Kg Bomb in the middle plus two drop tanks, one on each wing. (twice the bombload of the current bombs, plus a heavy droptank with concentrated load on particular areas of the wing) When I created the mix of weapons trust me I did not pull it out of nowhere, I did it with some reasonable assumptions in mind. The German tank loaded is somwhere around the neightborhood of 280Kg, which is more than the 250Kg bomb (ok not exact...), and comparable or more to the gondola packs (MG151/20 at 40Kg plus ammo and pack weight, or MK108 at 60Kg plus ammo and pack weight).
In a sim where the Bf-109Z is flyable and loaded with weapons that it never used, since they were destroyed, well it is a mute point, right?
As far as the Ju-87R-2, I cant use the German tank at the moment. It causes a bad graphical bug, which makes the Type D's float. I am working on the graphical issues in the future, but cannot at the moment. (same reason we cannot have the Bf-109G R-7s at the moment... won't go into details right now)
Please understand I mean no disrespect. Just explaining where I am coming from.
