Bristol Beaufort - risk a BR raise for bigger and better real life bomb loads?

The Beaufort is Tier 1 BR 1.3/1.7. Performance is mediocre and biggest bomb load is a Torpedo or 2x 500lb. It’s no wonder it’s foldered with the Blenheim. Fancy a boost?

How about 250lb wing bombs?..

Single 2000lb? (Aussie plane, US bomb?)
3914984

1000lb?..no info found so far buy I assume it could be added as a path to the 2k.

(There is already a bug report for a Mk. XV torpedo upgrade)

  • The Beaufort was also the first British plane to drop a 2000lb during, but there is no RAF version in game.

But doubling the bomb load and adding a new biggie comes with risk, BR may go up. On the plus side it might be worth revisiting the type.

Decisions, decisions…

Hopefully… Increasing bomb load would only increase it in GRB now, and not ARB. Though I do wish they took emphasis away from bomb load and instead put more emphasis on the aircraft.
