Today's Friday update comes in the form of an online interactive video recorded today showing the new "Bomber Loadouts" functionality. We are testing this on one of our alpha servers and the functionality is complete, which means it is not too far away from releasing to the WWII Online Campaign! Supply is not affected based on the loadout you choose, and your client will remember what your last selected loadout was. At anytime prior to spawning in, you can select a different loadout based on combat conditions and close air support requirements. Continue reading this article to see that interactive video, and thank you for all of you who continue to subscribe to WWII Online which enables continued developments like these to be possible.

Video Tip: Skip to 5 minutes to the beginning of the actual demo.
Personally, I can't wait for the Ju-87B to have that 500KG attached to it. It's going to be interesting to see what kind of devastation with twice the munition size can do. When you hear that siren, better scatter! =)
They are working great, you were probably seeing things a little different because I was using the third person function for players to see it. You'll never see them like that during routine game play as everything is in first person.

Glad you enjoy this. At this time we don't have any plan to implement that sort of functionality, as giving you the option to select your loadout has been requested for many years we wanted to focus on that.
At this time we do not have plans to add torpedos to the bombers. Primarily because it would devastate the naval game.
Yes you have to press the button for each bomb drop. To do it all at once is a bit excessive and not practical, for the live demonstration I did it so you could see the number of bombs and what it looked like in a rapid pace so as to move onto other items during that broadcast.
