Ooh your first post;)

The list looks good to me, don't know what 95% of them are or look like but hey, nice list none the less.

There's a lot of mediocre aircraft there mate.

At a glance the only one I would like to see is the "Consolidated PBY Catalina" as its capable of landing on the sea.

But considering its specs
Performance:
Maximum Speed: 179 mph
Long-Range Cruising Speed: 117 mph
Ceiling: 14,700 ft.
Range: 2,545 miles

Armament:
Five 7.62-mm (0.3-inch) machine guns
Up to 4,000 pounds of bombs or depth charges

it would only have a place if there were things like sea rescues
i.e. they put AI troop ships in and if they are sunk you have a set / random amount of time to find the location land and the troops could automatically climb aboard. Other wise ppl have no real reason to fly it

Right now it comes down to
LANC Max Payload
B24 Heavy but not too heavy
B26 Decent and faster than the 24
Ki67 Light load but dam fast for a buff

Maybe we will see things like sea rescues in TOD ?

We have the F6F-5...
The Skyraider didnt enter service till 1946
The F7F would be good IMO...

you forgot the Brewster Buffalo and the Gloster Meteor, oh and the partridge in a pear tree.

Messerschmitt BF-108 Taifun
Fieseler Fi156 Storch
What would they be good for?

I would really like a rescue feature, where when a friendly player has landed close to you you get a little rescue button and can click it, then you join his plane.
When he gets a landed successfully you get a got rescued or so in the logs. Would really help for scenarios.

And do away with the land and take off everywhere crap.

Have paved, grass, rough and bumpy surfaces. When you land on bumpy you kill your wheels and cant take off again.
When you land on rough you need to touch down verry slow in order to take off again, like below 50mph. Otherwise tries blown.

That way rescue aircraft make sense, capable of landing slow and taking off again with a short take off strip.

problem is mate, who is going to wait ten minutes for a resque flight that may never come

Interesting.

You mention alot of planes and you are yet to mention Yak-7, Yak-3, Mig-3 and LaGG-3 who all where very heavily used on the east front. Plus you also forgot the very heavily used Ki-43 Oscar.

But yet you do mention quite a few planes which saw extreamly limmited action, if any.

You could set it up so that a rescue will award bonus perks to the person who's rescuing him and not penalize so many points for crashing the ME262.

I.E. If you crash a 262 normally, you'd lose 150 points. If you crash and get picked up, you'd only lose 50 points. The person who came to get you would get 10 points.

How about having airplane supplies that can be brought to someone with a out of fuel plane or oil leak, fuel leak, maybe even a missing aileron, etc. so he can bring home the plane.

Furball · « **Reply #12 on:** June 13, 2005, 12:20:24 PM »

Out of curiousity... why would you possibly want an Avro Anson?

Karnak · « **Reply #13 on:** June 13, 2005, 12:25:40 PM »

I know that this is your first post, so I hate to say this, but I must.

This is the worst plane request list I have seen in all the time I've played the game and read the board. I'm sorry, but there seems to have been little thought or consistancy put into this list.

I rate the list 1 out of 10.
