my third attempt.....
« on: February 06, 2011, 08:45:46 PM »
third time's a charm, eh?

i think that since we are getting the updated zeke, we need an updated wildcat as well. both F4F-4 and FM-2.

also, the FM-2 was able to carry 250-lbs. bombs, which they used frequently when they were called upon for the CAS roll.

Wildcat does need an update.

TBM-3, SBD-5, B5N2 and D3A1 as well.

All of the older aircraft will be updated. HTC even knows which aircraft they are. Really.  :D

Would be nice to include the lighter F4F-3 with the update.

Why is that?

it was slower and less manuverable than the -3, and with the addition of 2 extra guns, ammunition was reduced from 450 rds./gun to 240 rds./gun. needless to say they didn't like that.

That's weird a later model is slower. Nice to know!
