Just sayin... But for my contribution, yeah, I think it would be great to have gliders, but then youd have people like me begging for them to model thermals and ridge lift off of mountains, and all that other crap...

Bah can we please close this discussion, the topic is about Horsa's, and a little side-effect is it being cool to see in AH :)

Oh, and I doubt Horsa's would rely on thermals in mountainous areas, they would just plumit down :D
(I don't think they were even deployed in/near mountains?)

Um, ridge lift and thermals are two seperate things. And while they wouldnt rely on them, it could increase their glide range by several miles at least. Besides, it would give people like me something to do while waiting for you people to finish off the last damned building.

Same here. B-17 at 18,000 feet is the only way to go. But I enjoy carpet bombing, so I hit towns and strat targets. If you carpet bomb a hangar, youre just pathetic, ya know? lol. Salvos are fun, you should try it some time!
