Would make players think twice before vulching a already badly hurt base. Would also force more planes to do more real bombing runs,not this 800 ft off the deck and drop bs, jeez how hard

Don't forget the orbiting Lancs, doing the Vietnam Spooky thing.

And you can hose them with a quad .50 and see the hits and still be lucky if one even catches fire, let alone blow up. It's hard to get a truck to d200 where the .50s can do real damage.

I don't know how much time you spend in an Ostwind, but we spend a lot of time in them. The turret on an Ostwind is extremely easy to disable.

I'll rephrase. The Osty has a one shot kill advantage over the Wirb, but that's it. Of course the range is longer on an Osty, but most players can't hit crap over d1.5 with one anyhow so range isn't a big advantage.

I have over 2,400 GV perks. I never use em. Can I trade em in for an upgrade? Anybody want some?

thats the whole reason i say more things should be perked...

GIVES a use to the perks you earn.

you earn ya perks to fly your fave planes.

Well then, I guess I'll have to agree with Tarmac and Overlag on this one.

Let the perking begin:eek:

I we even ???

Anyways, I and many others would certainly like to see {some not} the Wirbelwind added to the GV line up, but I'm not holding my breath.

Were basiclly just discussing ideas and input "IF" this vehicle were introduced.

I'm going to try bribing next:aok

It seems to me that the real question regarding perkability is how much risk of play imbalance should be taken. Perking minimizes the risk of changes; nonperking, at worst, means the balance is shifted toward defense -- and if the shift is disturbing, then the things can always be perked.

Either way works in the long run.

And, as to whether this ever moves past theoretical bantering on the BBS -- I again "vote" in favor of adding this vehicle to the hangar!!

Well I guess the more I look at it, I would have to agree that to start it would be best to "perk" this vehicle.
I guess I just don't see it being anymore disruptive than the Tiger tank or the B24's
My 2 cents

PS. I too vote for the Wirbelwind:aok
