Since when is the relative ease or difficulty of shooting something down a deciding factor in whether or not to put it in the game? Goons are easy to shoot down but there's still a place for them. Lots of planes are easy to shoot down but they're still in there. It's the variety of planes with different capabilities that makes it interesting...otherwise why have more than one type of plane at all?
Was about to say "why do you care if it's easy to kill? Isn't that a good thing for the peope who don't fly it?"
I've always thought some type of gv-hauling aircraft would be a nice addition. It's historically realistic to add one, and more importantly it adds a tactical element that is currently lacking on some maps. Ndisles for example is an all-island map in which you can't attack most of the fields except by air. It would add something to gameplay to have the possibility of gv's landing on the island somewhere and rolling toward a field.
Been asking for one, but mostly in others threads. Agreed. The only problem I can see is you would need a clear spot to land. Like on the beach, and currently its kinda hard to tell where the water starts. So this probably won't happen untill we get a realistic eniornment with fields, farms, forests, lakes, meadows, etc.
That being said, it would be difficult to add to the game because you have to transition the pilot from the cockpit of the plane to the driver's seat of the gv somehow after the plane lands. You'd have to figure out how to count the sortie (make it two sorties, one bomber and one gv?), you'd need some reason to land a jeep-sized vehicle somewhere which might mean adding light artillery, etc, etc.
Well I've suggested having it so you land and pick up GV's. When you open doors, and when they roll in, a button apears "attaching" them to you. They are in your cargo bay, but to keep them from getting bored, i say we have it so they can move around the plane. This meaning they get to see what is happening instead of being stuck in a dark hole but can't gun or anything (there would be another position which would be their GV's). Another possibility would be to have it so when you start on the runway, the gv's up and then can pull up inside your cargo bay; this would eliminate the need of landing after take off.
And I belive they could carry tanks. Not anything uber heavy like the tigerII, but like a panzer or the MABY the tiger I.
I've suggested we add field guns and artty that you can carry in a goon, land, and then it sets it's self up, but only after like 5-10 minutes.
