[@thewierdo2998]

Could you guys make a keybind that drops all armements? For example dropping missiles from a plane would make it much easier to land if one of the wings is broken off. Now we have too look at the sun to get rid of the missiles, and stuff like gunpods cabt be dropped. Also, add a macanic that allows only manual opening of the parachute, this would make it easier to do a go around if we dont catch the wiere on carriers.

However, when I am in a game and a big explosion or something like that happens and I look at it my game will crash and I have to restart my pc. Is there maybe a sort of short term fix for it because I really like the game and I have spent some money on it but atm it is almost unplayable.

Q: Boulton Paul Defiant: When will it come?

[@Jonathan-fd5em]

I would like to address an issue regarding the Ratel 90. In RB a fully upgraded Ratel 90 struggles to move at speeds of over 30km\h, this is highly unrealistic as according to South African National Museum of Military History the Ratel 90 was able to comfortably move at a speed of 50km\h on rough terrain ( the comfort is referring to the crew's comfort when driving not the vehicle's performance capabilities as Ratel 90 was would move at speeds of 60-70km\h on rough terrain when in combat subsequently disregarding the crew's comfort as to not get killed ). Side note: I know of 3 Ratel crew men who say they would have fun driving off road at speeds of +80km\h.

[@DelinaSilence]

Considering that the Buccaneer was designed to strike at low level, surely it would benefit with the bomb reticle like it used to before the rearrangement of what was considered a strike aircraft? (It lost the reticle when it was reclassified as a strike aircraft, so the only way to bomb at low level is either from the cockpit sight or the bomb sight which is awkward to adjust for aim)
