I think that seaplanes are the only thing missing in this game. It would be nice to put the ports into some use.

I'd like to see Stukas able to up from Vehicle bases. Stukas worked closely with ground forces, so it would make perfect sense.

It would give spawn-camping Shermans something to sweat about too

Where exactly do you propose they take off from? And since when did a Panzer division include a Stuka??? Even ONE plane?!? Nu-uh. No.

Hahaha.

Of course, it was just an idea.

Take off from a hanger, taxi onto the field and away you go.

Then take off from an airbase. and go to a vehicle base to work closely with ground forces.

That is deffinatley a logical take on the subject. However by that logic then only aircraft should be available at airbases.

Hell back in the good old days (AH1) you could occasionaly sneak a plane out of a VH when no one was looking. We even had a map with runways at ports. Sorry I'm wasted and tired and getting a bit sentimental.

H8K2 would be preferable to either of those.

It would be cool to have seaplanes, and if the ditched or bailed pilot could get rescued maybe the perk points if any were used would be saved. Had to make it a successful mission where he was shot down, but maybe something along perk rescues.

Another thing that would be cool is if the seaplanes could drop the normal bombs and stuff, but also small suns, that are flares so night missions could be recreated.

the H8K2 would be good too. i forgot about it lol

PBY black cats would rock.

Either Mavis or Emily flying boats would be good.

Along with Rufe (zero on floats)

You forgot the Sunderland, aka, the flying porcupine...

When Pilots and gunners (if any) get in they can choose to be gunner, navigator ,or copilot
