i doubt Emily will be hard to destroy

as recon plane will fly as single plane not formation
so poor defence chances

Emily's were used in formations as bombers on occasion and I was thinking in those terms here.

The Emily was the toughest Japanese aircraft with full tank protection and considerable armor protection.

I realy dont think adding yet another Allied bomber is going to realy help or Hurt except in the case of Event's or the CT, it would Help to have their time spent on somthing other than yet another Allied Buff at preset.

But hey were going on a long prettythang time now without any new plane so as a man dying of thirst I dont think I would realy care how dirty the water I was given was, it would nice if it were clean and clear but I would settle for some more of the ushual Allied High Brand Texas prary water.

Isnt the TU-2 an exact copy of a B-29 that the Russians made after WWII? And yes B-24s are a MUST HAVE!

yes Karnak, but mostly used as recon plane, slow and long range

i dont see reason to make it flying as formation in AH

i would care less about a B24 i would not trade the ruggedness of the B17 for the B24

but any new plane right now would be fun to play with

Niet:

If your a fan of the B24 I suspect it would be, but it would not add anything to the game that is not curently represented, namely a US heavy Bomber.

TU-2

Not the SM 79 Cant Z 1007 , thing again:)

I get them confused myself often so I ineverably look before posting:)

Being a big fan of American planes, I feel that the most important bomber for us to get would be the G4M2 "One shot" errr, "Betty".

Ecliptik · « **Reply #27 on:** January 18, 2004, 01:03:09 AM »

I'd rather flesh out the planeset of the neglected nations rather than just adding planes only in order of how they perform. Next bombers should probably be Russian, though I'd settle for another German bomber, or even Italian.

frank3 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 18, 2004, 04:44:33 AM »

I'm getting fed up with the 2 engined bombers, low payload/defencive armament etc.
I'd be up for some heavy buffs, not necciseraly B-24, but maybe some german/russian ones. This might add some more fun in the scenarios?

Also I agree with ecleptic, I'd rather see very beautifull skinned/remodelled current planes than new planes.

...Have you ever seen the B-17?......it's really ugly...

Since somebody brought up flying boats, How about the big fat Short Sunderland?
Nicely armed, and therefor also nicknamed "the hedgehog" by the Germans
