Note:- The Heavy Bombers require more re-alistic takeoff and landing conditions

than the simplified ai fm's of the stock game.

They require big fields and if they have full heavy loadouts reduced fuel or ai

and human pilots !ill get into trouble.

The ne! ta"i to takeoff routines in #.$%.$ can help !ith this because it gives each

aircraft the benefit of the full length of the run!ay.

The B%# is probably the most effected by this !ith its high !ing loading. &oagain choose a long airfield and reduce fuel quantity the heavier the loadout.
