flak panzer variants

[MOIL]

And Arlo,  why do you even give a **** about what happens on the ground  Mr Pilot ?
If your so concerned about planes and what we should & shouldn't have in the game, just go furball someplace. You won't even notice our bumper cars:lol

[Arlo]

And here I thought this was a thread beggin' Pyro to waste everyone else's time modeling more aaa trucks.

Skinky....

I'd like to see this one, just for more country variety....

I dont give a care about what happens on the ground, up until a numpty 1 ping kills me with his 37mm after continously spraying for 5 mins.

The wirbelwind would be cool, then perk the ostwind. And give me a tommygun so I can make the crews of both do that funky .45 dance.

I'll have a glass of Flakpanzer Grendel,thank you very much, the rest carry on. I just came in for the alcohol.

War birds Arlo?

How about this monster? American M19 anti aircraft tank, twin 40mm Bofors on a Chafee chassis.

1: Norton. You know that I know that you know that I know that Pyro's not gonna model SCW planes (even if they would be one helluva blast for furballs in a game who's main focus is dogfighting ... albiet WWII - though technically ...... hehe).

2: This joker's serious about how much this game needs another flakfarter to serve the needs of the "countless number" of dedicated flakfarter players.

3: Until we reach something close to parity in the areas that really need it, I'll make fun of stuff like this on a whim.

4: If the treadheads need anything right now it's some allied mbts. Two specific ones will do the trick.

Hey Arlo, I don't think there's any reason to call Flak drivers names or make fun of what they enjoy doing in the game.
Espeacially since they pay for it.  And secondly, you make it sound as if they modeled the Wirbelwind it would take months & months, it's already modeled.

If it were not for the fact that the flakpanzer splinter armor was not so unrealistically modeled, I would be all for this as a great way to expend GV perks.
  In reality, the open-topped turret of the FP was 1/4-inch in thickness; quite easily shredded by .50 caliber gunfire. As you are no doubt aware they are not as easily put out of commission as IMHO they ought to be.
 

1/4" is just over 6mm.  The Ostwind turret was 25mm thick - about 1".  The Wirbelwind had 16mm turret armor.

You're still being serious? Heh.

Arlo, who? Where?

Parity? Really needed? You mean like not having 160 vs 80 vs 130 in the MA? Or some nearly forgotten Lithuanian Naval Bomber/French press machine for the CT?

neener neener neener

[MOIL]

Of course I'm serious;)

As you can see Pyro is following the thread and even throws in some info on the vehicles {thanks Pyro}
NOT saying that he's going to run right out and add these vehicles, but we'll keep our fingers crossed.

[simshell]

give me a JU87 with the twin 37 AP pods and il agree to adding more GV's

Who the hell are you? Why can't you follow a thread?

You've had enough crack, today. (Hint ... the MA has all it needs ... ever. The CT/SEA doesn't. Get it? No? Didn't think so).


"Gee, since I can't get my planes, I'll just flame everyone else's suggestions"

Again .... who the hell are you and why can't you keep up?

Pyro asked for three reasonable suggestions in three categories:

Fighter: Ki-84 (pretty good chance) Why? Because it beefs up a slightly anorexic Japanese planeset and allows for the late war USN planeset to be used more freely in the Ct and in the SEA. (And ... just for argument's sake ... it'd even be a good MA fighter. Not that the MA needs another uber fighter)

Bomber: Betty or Billy Mitchell .... some say the B-24 Why? First two help out early/midwar CT and SEA planesets. Not great for the MA? Who gives a poop. B-24? Sure ... but later. It isn't like the MA needs new bombers all that much either.

GV: Shermie or T-34 Why? Should about explain itself but here it is:

There are no allied MBTs in the game ... period. The CT and the SEA could use them. The MA may see some use of these .... but again, who gives a poop because all the lil chesspiece countries already got Tigers and Panzers .... throwing in a T-34 is just another fuggin' tank.

All that B-29, P-61, Wirbelwind, flying saucer crap is kinda like voting for Nader in the upcoming election.
