[2.13.0.125] Incorrect/missing wingracks & bombloads on the Junkers Ju 88 A-4

[Chomusuke1 1,223]

# Game version 2.13.0.125

 

Affected Vehicle

 

Junkers Ju 88 A-4

 

Description of the issue

 

The Junkers Ju 88 A-4 has missing outer wing bomb racks for 250 kg bombs as well as missing inner wing bomb rack  payloads for 1,000 kg and heavier bombs which makes the Ju 88 A-4's payloads incorrect & woefully incomplete in this game

 

Spoiler

 

Suggested Fix

 

Correct the innermost racks to the Schloßlafette 500/1000/XI rack and enable the carriage of 1 x 1,800 kg, 2 x 1,400 kg or 2 x 1,000 kg bombs. Correct the middle racks to the ETC 500/IX d rack and enable the carriage of 4 x 500 kg bombs. Add in the E-Rost 4 ETC 50 rack which would enable the carriage of 16 x 50 kg bombs. Add in the missing outermost racks, the ETC 500/IX d rack, which would enable the carriage of 6 x 250 kg bombs and is listed in several Ju 88 A-4 manuals as 'Rüstsatz M15 or Last III'. Finally, add in the missing PVC 1006 B rack which would enable the carriage of 2 x Torpedoes as the Ju 88 A-4/Torp
