After doing some research I found out that not only could the BV 138 C-1 carry 6 50 kg bombs under its wing but it could also carry 2 or 4 (different sources say different things) 150 kg Depth charges under its wing. I think they should add this feature as the bomber only has 6 50 kg bombs and this would give it more variety and it would make it better to use in naval battles (yes, I play naval from time to time).

we dont have submarines whats the point
If dropped correctly a depth charge should be able to damage a boat also in air battles 4 150 kg depth charges would most likely do more damage than 6 50 kg bombs. Also when we eventually get submarines the depth charge mechanic should then be ready. Also it just gives some weapon variety on it.
I understand your pov but this is a 1.7BR aircraft, there’s a 1000kg bomb on the 1.0 stuka which is a far better aircraft to use for naval CAS with a better anti ship ordinance.
subs arent going to be that low either so you WILL be a flak pinata
Still I think it would be good to give it some bonb variety so when people play it it doesn’t feel like Torture because trust me, trying to bomb bases with only 6 50 Kg bombs is honestly painful, so I think these 4 150 kg depth charges will help with that.

sea bombs dont affect ground targets unfortunately.
I mean the 50 kgs don’t really do any damage either, so I think the 150 kgs would have a good chance also there’s 4 150 (600 kgs) kgs instead of 6 50 (300 kgs) kgs and I think gaijin could make it so they do affect bases and ground targets. But honestly I would just like some bomb variety because I’m a big fan of this bomber and I find it a shame that it doesn’t come with all of it’s equipment also adding this wouldn’t really affect anyone on a negative way.
Nonsense. Sea mines on various US aircraft are thx to the high TNT value highly effective vs bases…

I wonder how effective depth charges would actually be when not used in water… hmm… (i.e, would their fuse even arm?)
But a lot of aircraft are missing a lot of weapons. Something like depth charges for aircraft probably wont come until we get subs. Which might be sooner rather than later with any hope.
Didn’t I bring this up years ago when the aircraft was first released? It is also (nerfed) currently missing the SD 2, SC 10, SD 50, SD 70, AB 70, etc…RATO, FuG 200 radar, & other such things in the game if I remember correctly:

Well then, it seems gaijin has some work to do
The same point that gaijin gave to some boats & destroyers which are armed with the WBD, WBF, & WBG in-game
I only brung this up on the old forums and not the newer bug report site. If you want to make a report, please feel free to use all my images above to help give this nerfed aircraft more ordnance & equipment in this game
