Simply put, they wont release their bombs if used as level bombers. No matter what load I give them they serenely sail over the packed with enemy targets, if i "link" them they do shallow glide bombing runs and if carrying a torpedo will ignore a stationary convoy. If linked they will attack. Im currently trying this in mod ver 1.1 unified installer.
I was making a mission pack with claudes escorting kates over china but the blighters wont drop their bombs so I'm on hold till it gets fixed up.
Tried the db-3 and blenheims and they release as iconned.

i dont think that they were actual level bombers, they are torp bombers and glide bombing is there secondary, thats what the Avengers did, so i dont think you'll get them to level bomb. Srry

yes they were used as level bombers. In fact the Kates excelled at it. There is a trick to making them work.

You have to give them a nice long lead in between the waypoint before the "groundattack" point. and they dont like a sharp turn to attack heading either. Also place the attack icon very near the target and if all else fails, stick a target jeep or something down there and set the target (the green crosshairs of death) on it.

Hope that helps

Have you got bomb bay doors mod, may need to open them first, some planes need it, some don't. Not sure, but hope this helps.

No, he meant making them bomb as AI. Hookecho has the right answer.
