How come the JU-87B-Stuka drops 24 bombs on a strafing run when it only caries 5 bombs? 1*250kg 2*50kg 2*50kg When it comes down on my troops it drops 4 sets of 6 bombs and they are all big explosions, as if they where all 250 kg bombs! Has this happened to anyone else? I got version 4.4 complete. Thanks for a atherwise GREAT game!!! ------------------ Bang, Bang, your dead!

This may belong to the "Stupid Question Department", but.... Do you have the ammo limit turned off? I haven't tried this yet with SPWAW, but in earlier incarnations of Steel Panthers, turning off the ammo limit turned the aircraft into Super Death Machines From Hell. In SPII, I watched a/c leave a swath of napalm death 6 hexes long. During the Yom Kippur (sp?) campaign, the desert would be crisscrossed by walls of fire and long lines of bomb craters. Just checking... Lou

Yes I got ammo limit turned off, this could be the problem as you mentiond, but isn't it going to be fixed? I mean I got no real chance when a fighter/light bomber becomes a flying death wish!!!Bombing the hell out of everything. I could understand if it was a Heinchel or Junker but it's not so...

Thanks anyway, maybe I will turn that ammo limit back on. ------------------ Bang, Bang, your dead!

Once you turn ammo limit back on, planes dropping bombs will should only kill the usual amount of troops you desperately need to complete your mission. ;-) When buying support units, it's usually a good idea to by anti aircraft resources. Even if enemy a/c fail to show up, AA polishes up enemy infantry to a treat. Remember: Lead overhead is better than lead IN your head. Lou
