Elf - please explain!
4 x Ki-21-IIa Sally bombing from 1200 feet (12th Sentai / 3rd Air)
Airfield Attack: 4 x 250 kg GP Bomb
4 x Ki-21-IIa Sally bombing from 1200 feet (98th Sentai / 3rd Air)
Airfield Attack: 4 x 100 kg GP Bomb
4 - planes with 250 kg = 1000 kg
4 -planes with 100 kg = 400 kg
Why do the same bombers on the same mission carry 600 kg less in bombs?
How do you get more hits with 4 - 100 kg bombs Vs. 4 - 250 kg bombs?

Extended range? Sometimes we play around with things just to see how things pan out.
We needed a way to better represent the missionized loadouts that LBA (Particularly IJ side) carried. More smaller bombs equate to more "hits" against non-naval targets and are less concerned with AP capability than spreading effects over a larger unarmored area. There are behind the scene checks that determine what loadout is used. Not at liberty to divulge the details of this yet.
4 x 100 is the extended range load. Andy would have to confirm, but in the early going IJAAF ops from Indochina is difficult owing to the inability to get all your A/C crammed into the closest AF without being penalized. These Sally's are likely from one of the further AFs and carry 4x100kg bombs vice the 250's.ORIGINAL: timtom

It isn't, it's less. A/C carry smaller loads at extended range.It's not extended range, I'm responding the the following from Elf.
