I guess I forgot how this works, hahaha... if you have a fighter-bomber unit, you just order it to bomb. But if you have a fighter unit that can carry bombs (like those Spitfire VB in Britain), how do you get it to bomb something?

Cheers [:D]

just make sure that the fighters have bombs

like the P-47s, if they belong to the VIIIth, they are going to be set up with Drop tanks, while P-47s from the IXth will be armed with Bombs

(the ones that can change have the switch on the unit page)

so it is best to try and set up units that will bomb and units that will escourt (bombs really cut down the range of the fighters)

and to be honest, most true FBs are better then any fighter with bombs
