Still waiting

As much as I want the Wirblewind, we need buff defense.  If HTC is going to allow the mis-use of the buffs in tree top carpet bombing, then they need to allow us a defense such as the German 88s.  Carpet bombing has become the lazy way to attack a GV assault.  Fly in at tree top level and just let go with 24,000 lbs of bombs, times three, then bail out and do it again till ords are taken down.  And for all you "Well you have Ostwinds" players out there, understand this.  Each bomber takes multiple hits to destroy.  And if you kill one, the pilot just pops into another, then another.  By that time he has dropped is ords killing everything in a 1000 foot by 5000 or more foot strip.  Gee.  What skill that must take.  

The Ostwind has to use a 37mm projectile to hit a target moving at a speed of from 150 to 500 miles per hour usually perpendicular to his line of fire.  Carpet bombers get to drop from 1 to 12 or more bombs with a 500+/- foot kill radius on a vehicle traveling at best 25 miles per hour.

Now to the argument for having the Brewster before the Wirblewind just because we got the Ostwind now.  Here is a math test.  Let see.  Right now, pilots who wish to fly can chose from 73, soon to be 74 different aircraft to fly, fight and drop bombs on my head.  I, on the other hand, have a grand total of two vehicles in which to try to defend myself.  M-16 with a practical range of 1K to 1.5K.  And the Ostwind which has a practical range from 1.5K to (in rare cases) 2.5K.  74 verses 2  Hummm.

Wirblewind AND the German 88 would make an awesome combination to add to this game.

You missed that the Wirbelwind were produced in more numbers then the Ostwind.
