Planes missing from the lineup
« on: September 27, 2009, 03:42:34 AM »
So many new planes have been added to Aces High.
 :salute to HTC developers.

Since there are no limits on what we can wish for...

PBY Catalina   Shouldn't this magnificent aircraft hold a role in Aces High?
G4M Betty    I know we have the Ki-67, but is not the Betty the quintessential Japanese bomber?.
Ju52           The C47 is a wonderful plane.  The Ju52 tri-motor is unique and special in it's way too.

Hm......

+1 (if it has the .40 cannon)otherwise, i dont see its role in AH, since it was a recon plane...maybe it could give a small radar of the area its

flying in? Drops 4 torps? otherwise, i dunno

+1/2, we could use other planes more.....

-1, im not sure why we need that.....

EDIT: id enjoy your counter arguement stal's (if i may call you that?)

We would only need the Ju52 for scenarios, the C47 was faster.

Yes on the PBY and several other flying boats.

Yes, AH needs the Betty, as well as German and Russian bombers.

JU-52 is armed, poorly perhaps, but its armed. Reason enough in my book.

How often is the C-47 even used in scenarios?

caldera,

I'd put the G4M several orders of magnitude more important than the A-26. Y'know, considering that it was Japan's main frontline bomber FOR THE ENTIRE FREAKIN' WAR.
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

Why are you yelling at me?   :cry

I can't think of everything.  Bring on the Betty and the Sally and the Emily too.  We need bombers that can out-burn the B-24.  :)

Regarding the JU52.  What other tri-motor saw service in the war on a comparable scale?

 +1  Beaufighter
 +1  Pe-2
 +1  Do-17
 +1  He-111

B29 ...  (oh no, don't go there)
