Also, the speed of the aircraft will have a big impact on this. The slow the aircraft the more bombs it will fire. If you want to change the bomb to something else that falls change the image in the projectile part to what you need. I`m not to sure on what you want to changed to be different.

Just try it out by adding the weapon bomb in to the RA2 weapons file and you will see that if the plane only has one ammo it will drop five bombs that account for one ammo and the five bombs as one weapon is the amount that I want to change and burst= or cluster= didn't do anything.

Give the unit PipWrap=5 and it should have five ammo slots that wrap. So you wont see 25 of them going across the screen.
