While I agree that there is nothing like a F4U to spoil a tank battle. We do have to remember that we are in a Flight sim. That being said I do very much enjoy tanking it.
However, I would dearly love any one of the following options.
A No planes arena with special terrain built for tanks & halftracks. Keep it close, fewer hills, more "Small" ridges.
B Low clouds in a large front slowly moveing from west to east.Could vary from say 500' off the deck,up to 5k, thickness could vary from 1k to 5k thick. This would give the tanks some cover from the high flying planes.
C FOG! or in other words, thick clouds on the deck. Little or no visibilty, planes would have a very hard time rolling & getting up without running into something. Tanks should have 100 feet visibility or so.
D Halftrack with quad 20mm's, sorry but the m16 is pretty much just a target. Or, do a towed AA piece that has 2 or 4 20mm. Could be
placed by a panzer or halftrack. Then sits there & provides Air cover.
E 88mm Arty/Flak, bombers have gotten to the point where they reverse endlessly dropping bombs. Give us something that will shoot more than 1.2k. Manned preferably, but if not then AI.
