[font="times new roman"]I believe we see several divisions in the AAR fighting as brigade / regiment size units in the same location.[/font]

[font="times new roman"]Would the separate elements fight more effectively / absorb replacements faster as a division compared to individual elements?[/font]

Elf - please explain!

4 x Ki-21-IIa Sally bombing from 1200 feet (12th Sentai / 3rd Air)
Airfield Attack: 4 x 250 kg GP Bomb
4 x Ki-21-IIa Sally bombing from 1200 feet (98th Sentai / 3rd Air)
Airfield Attack: 4 x 100 kg GP Bomb

4 - planes with 250 kg = 1000 kg
4  -planes with  100 kg  = 400 kg

Why do the same bombers on the same mission carry 600 kg less in bombs?

How do you get more hits with 4 - 100 kg bombs Vs. 4 - 250 kg bombs?

Extended range? Sometimes we play around with things just to see how things pan out.

It's not extended range, I'm responding the the following from Elf.

We needed a way to better represent the missionized loadouts that LBA (Particularly IJ side) carried. More smaller bombs equate to more "hits" against non-naval targets and are less concerned with AP capability than spreading effects over a larger unarmored area. There are behind the scene checks that determine what loadout is used. Not at liberty to divulge the details of this yet.

How is 4 100 x kg bombs more than 4 x 250 kg bombs, and how do you get more hits (4 bombs = 4 hits max!)?

4 x 100 is the extended range load. Andy would have to confirm, but in the early going IJAAF ops from Indochina is difficult owing to the inability to get all your A/C crammed into the closest AF without being penalized. These Sally's are likely from one of the further AFs and carry 4x100kg bombs vice the 250's.

It isn't, it's less. A/C carry smaller loads at extended range.
