Hi
Seems the USMC SBD Dauntless unit 068 had a maximum bomb load of "2,250 lb (1,020 kg) of bombs "
see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SBD_Dauntless
amongst others,
The current Loadout of one 1500 Kilo bomb and two 250 lb bombs sems a little heavy?
Best Regards Chuck.

Not in reach of WinSPWW2 at the moment, isn't that 1500 lb bomb? AFAIK there was a 1600lb-er for Dauntless. I cannot recall seeing any dauntless usuing SI weapons.

Hello Marek
Well at 250 HE kill it looks like a 1500 kg to me.
Best Regards Chuck.
