Darned munitions officer!

[GaryR]

I flew my 1st BHAH Campaign mission and explicitly told munitions to attach 4 25LB bombs for me to blast the Gerry Rail Yard.. Got to the yard, pulled the drop cable and.... nothing. Did a roll to have a wingman check and the wings were clean, no bombs. Returned to base doing little to no damage and got chewed out because munitions doesn't take orders from a Sargent who was apparently outranked and not the flight lead.. Called my uncle and now it seems I will always lead my flights, will see if munitions follows orders now!

Could S.E.5 carry bombs at all ? Not sure...

Don't make a fighter into a bomber - the GröFaZ (Größter Feldherr aller Zeiten - A.H.) did that to the Me 262, and made a mediocre bomber of a super fighter (but the B17 and B25 crews must have been grateful for that; so, after all, he did something good).

Yep, and I just did! 4 25LB Cooper Bombs dropped on a Rail Station! Don't do too much, but better than .30 Cal!

Mmm Se5a here works fine here choosing 4 cooper and campaign Gary, and not as leader - did you try to select them in flight first to arm?

Works fine now, I must have done something wrong.. Just took a set of rockets (Sop Camel) and they work fine also. Could be I didn't SEE the bombs as I was looking for them on the wings and they went under the fuselage! That combined with my joystick not being set correctly to drop them... all is well, taking the fight to Gerry! One less spotter out there and a few hangers that need to be rebuilt!
