It doesn't matter how many times you repeat this. Just like I said before, given equal pilots Boomerang will be in a world of trouble. You can't get around physics.

He protests too much about a plane that supposedly will have no chance against the B-239.  Even if it is overmatched, who cares?  Going by that logic, all we need is the Spit XVI. 

Bring on the Boomerang!   :airplane:

Being aerial support for gv's is a great change of pace. With this planes smoke bombs that would make it more fun and interesting, as for the smoke screen town tactic, there isn't much that can signicantly reduce the accuracy of carpet bombing in a lanc or b-29.  If this plane was added I could see it being used in the same role the aussies used it for, can someone please explain why that is such a bad thing? Also if people fly it in the role that it is good at then it would not be a hanger queen and be a useful addition to the planeset.

So in conculsion,
+1 for the boomerang

anti-troll disclaimer:
<please note there is no mention of dogfighting in this post, this is based off what I would use it for as I am very bad at flying planes with less then four engines>

Are you guys serious?  Jolly, put down your copy of "Almost Famous WWII Aircraft" and read something about the planes that actually fought in the war...

so i want the Me 323, and the short sunderland, and the He 177, and the Bolton-Paul Defiant, and the Glostor Meteor, and the Amiot 143, and the piper cub for recon, and the westland lysander. so what? im just stating that they could be cool to have in the game, as long as everything else was up to par.

I'm not protesting anything nor am I saying that Boomerang shouldn't be added eventually. All I'm doing is correcting factually incorrect assesments.
