Val's need to be fixed.

I've been all over the web and through books and nowhere can I find mention of Vals carrying less than the 250kg bomb. The only variations I can find are on the size or presence of the underwing bombs, either 60kg, 30kg or none. The Val extended range armament in this game (60kg) is next to useless and is really lowering my enjoyment of an otherwise excellent game.

"Fighting Aircraft of World War II" published by Salamander Books and written by Bill Gunstons has this load out for the Aichi D3A "Val"

Centerline bomb of (551 lb) 250kg, plus 2 bombs under wings each of 30kgs (66 lb) : (D3A2 wing bombs 60kgs (132 lbs ).)

I shall pass this onto the data guys and get them to check it.

Thanks for the quick response, I hope a new patch or mini patch can be done soon. I just can't enjoy playing the IJN when my prime strategy is to maintain maximum distance from US CV's when launching strikes.
