The FA-223
« on: September 06, 2008, 05:26:26 AM »
This would be a little bonus like the m3 only it a copter it could carry supplies and all sorts of stuff. So i was thinking HT could add this as a perk plane Also this was used quite often.

Why not just use a C-47?

Cause a C-47 can't hover  :D
Afk for a year or so.  The name of a gun turret in game.  Falanx, huh? :banana:
Apparently I'm in the 20th FG 'Loco Busters', or so the legend goes.

Why don't add instead the well known Junkers 52?
Above all the JU-52 had a mortar, wich make it able to land near a target and, giving coords, fire on it.

But why do you need to hover? The C-47 can parachute supplies anywhere they are needed and can even land pretty much any terrain and unload them. It is also a lot faster than the helicopter and can carry a lot more supplies. The only possible reason for using the helicopter would be if they were made available at vehicle bases.

Please implement this.   My Ostie, WW or FG would eat this like a peanut.   Please bring it on!   Only a moron would think of "hovering" in that POS in this game.

Whats with everyones thing on Helicopters? They totally suck in early stages. They were practically a slug in the air, and it would be absolutly the easiest thing to shoot down in the game.

First off, why would you want a chopper added to the game to resupply bases, gvs, and troops drop on towns when a C-47 (and even maybe the 251) can do it twice as fast? Second, why would you want it PERKED if it was added? If anything it would have a eny of 60!

I agree with heilos not being effective but he is just trying to improve the game by having everything from WW2, good idea but we need some other things first.

I changed my mind, no Junkers! Bring on the Me-223!  :devil

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.
