Why arnt these here yet?

[SKYGUNS]

British porcupine


Catalina


Swordfish



This is more of a question than a request, all are decent aircraft that played a roll and its confusing to know why arnt they in the game yet.

Catalina I would say is reserved for CT. It seems CT will have the need to scout out enemy movement which will make the Catalina valuable.


UPDATE: I just received word. HTC has made immense progress on CT and it will now be 13 days until the arrival of the most anticipated update to AH.

I'd rather see the H8K2 'Emily':


1,800fpm climb rate.
280mph top speed.
Five 20mm Type 99 cannons and three to five 7.7mm machine guns (including a couple aiming out of the belly).
Two 800kg torpedoes or eight 250kg bombs or two 1500kg bombs.
Fully protected fuel system, armor for the engines and gunner positions.

2 1500kg bombs!

In violation of rule 6 I remind you of rules 4 and 7.

I think it would be great to see these planes in the game. It takes all types of pilots to win wars...

Probably because I doubt anyone would up a recon sea-plane to go looking for CV groups when a Tempest can do the job and shoot down 10 uppers at the same time.

For a scenario, sure, but in the MA, there just isnt anyone getting in line to make 8 hour sight seeing trips (some 51 sticks notwithstanding).

Long milkruns can be fun if you are with good company. I think that if the option to use one of these planes was present you would find players using them. They would be valuable for players that strive on teamwork.  This is how I would implement them if given the chance.

Recon planes should have a bomber scope. When in scope mode the player can use his joystick to pan the scope around. When an E/CV is spotted it should send a message to the pilot/scoper containing the co-ordinates of the E/CV.

!S!

Absolutely! Karnak knows his stuff. The Emily was a tough bird. Allied piots considered it a very nasty customer to deal with.

Sheesh at the Emily! Two 1500kg bombs?!
