Hijack alert...
any survivors of the giant?
Btw, unless we can carry gvs, it would be useless. Lovely ride tho, along with tante ju.

[Imowface]

no, none survived beyond 1944 as krusty said earlier

im for the gigant, it would be realy cool if you can carry some frindly gv, so a few gigants can suply a gv attack on a base with out a spawn.
sure you need to be sneaky but it will be fun.

I'd be for it too if it could carry a GV.   There are some maps with inconvenient spawn points and this could be useful.

sounds dangerous but i dont see HTC putting it into the game sadly enough

no no no this is what germany needs in AH lol

the best Axis 4 engine bomber of the war was the Piaggio P.108B, and look how much it got used, Axis need their 2 + 3 engine bombers before we get into the specialty bombers

i already suggested that.

I don't think we need another jet.

That looks like a model

oh, come ON... does it not make more sense to add the Ju-52, which saw all 6 years of WWII, than the Me 323 which lost all manufactured aircraft within the first YEAR of service? sure, the 323 carried 130 troops. thats ridiculous! the C-47 carries 10! granted, IF you could SURVIVE long enough to MAKE the drop, you could capture an airfield on your own. but only If you survived.

I'd say the best Axis four engined bomber of WWII was the H8K2 "Emily" flying boat.  Most of its service was as recon and anti-submarine though.

Didn't a couple of emilys bomb pearl harbor at some point?

yeah they did. May of '42. no real effective damage, and they had to re-fuel 550 miles south of Hawaii

I find it interesting that they used Gnome rotary engines on that thing (The whole engine spins with the prop).  They were also the reason WW1 pilots wore long scarves because centrifugal force was used to lubricate the engine instead of an oil pump.  The oil was cycled through once before ending up on the pilot's goggles.
