More Planes and Game Play Wishlist

[aenigma]

First of all, Thanks to all who commented even the "dweeb" who does not know his WW2 planes. Go to the library and check out some books.

Motherland: "The thing I find ironic about this list is that you have 2 transports from not only the side that already has a transport, but the country that that transport belongs to- and on your list, there is no Ju52/3M, which was not only the German equivelent to the C47, but the German equivelent to the DC3 itself, in the civilian role."

I actually overlooked the JU52 by accident but listed an italian S.M.82 which was a similar multi-roll aircraft. I agree, JU52 would be a good aircraft to have. I even thought about th ME.323 D-1 but opt for the FW-200 which was a bomber but later converted to transport duty.

I could have made my list longer but decided to cut the French/Italian/Russian list short. Leave that to someone else to post.


As for jets or limited number of aircraft in the War. Just perk up the points to limit the use in the arena. Just an idea that could restrict the numbers. I came very close to killing a 262 last night but a FW-190 rescued his butt but I do like the challenge of a P51 vs. ME262.

Good to see my wish list for the most part has been a positive conversation and debate.

Frode: "Saxman, I believe that the Beaufighter was in fact, developed from the Blenheim,  not the Beaufort. As a matter of fact, the Blenheim's played a large part in RAF stike roles in '39-'42, serving in france, the BoB, and in the MTO.

I was suprised the Blenheim wasn't on those lists."

5,500 Blenheims were built in GB and Canada but were not exceptional combat planes. Despite several variants they were eventually replaced by Bostons and Mosquitoes. " By the end of 1940 it had become obsolete in Europe having been replaced largely by Douglas Bostons and later by de Havilland Mosquitoes.  However, the Blenheim still served as a frontline bomber in North Africa, the Mediterranean and the Far East well into 1943."

They could still be of use in AH.

Beaufighter was like that of the Beaufort in the empennage, the wingsm and the rear part of the fuselage. Forward part of the plane was completely different.

I see:  gobs of US superplanes and a few crumbs for the other sets.


Gee, we haven't seen this before.

D.520-NO FRANCE!!! THEY DID LESS THAN EITHER AUSSIE OR CANADA (canada was in D-day)

Are you stupid???? Canada and Austrailia were in the war from day one, in september of 39not december of 41, and while the americans(and im not trying to start a big deal here) built up their forces, the other allies continued to fight.

also, the hurricane, mosquito, lancaster and plenty others where all built in canada

AND type dieppe in your google bar, the canadians were the "trial run" for the normandy invasions

perhaps know what you are talking about before you speak of it?

If Rattfink is correct about HTC wanting to do Subs, then we will need some multi-role aircraft that dropped depth charges and had other maritime roles. 

If done correctly Subs could be a blast.  With subs come DD, DE, Corvettes, and other sub chasers.  If modeled well, it would be a blast (for some) to play hide and seek in a Type VII u-boat or Gato class sub against various surface platforms. Conning tower variations would exist for the U-boats to account for various "wintergarten" configurations.  I'd like to hear more about this if it is true that they want to do it.  To be honest, I'd play it if it were a different game than AH all together.

Thanks Allen... Gowan would've upset a LOT of veterans over here.

Are you kidding me? Everyone knows the U.S. singlehandedly won World War II! Canada, Britain and France were just there for moral support. And Russia doesn't count, those stupid commies!

maybe everyone in america, as you guys tend to boast your own BS and forget that of which others have done.....and im not speaking for all of you, just the few like this charactor. but anyway. continue your sheltered belief, hopefully one day you'll pick up a history book. Oh and lets not forget, before pearl harbour, the usa helped the germans, repaired warships ect, good job!

Hook, line and sinker!

Well, methinks that the list looks good, but I would like to see a few more French/Russian/Italian planes in it.

The only thing I don't support is the World War I/Korean War arenas.  I don't think this would add anything positive to AH.

Anyway, I'm pleased to say that I have formed the opinion that Gowan is not only a retard, but a lazy, racist duck (<-- I couldn't think of anything more suitable to say).  I just hope that someday, he reads a history book dealing with France's very significant role during the war.  In the meantime, doing a search on Google for "the French World War II resistance" might be helpful.

Motherland, whatever you meant "Hook, line and sinker!" about, it was obviously too subtle for the rest of us.  Please, try again.

And Saxman- Wtg!!

EDIT: I almost forgot the PBY!! I love that plane!

The sad thing is, Im starting to think that is true.
