PB4-Y2 Mariner
« on: October 24, 2011, 10:13:54 AM »
I would love to see a PB4-Y2 mariner added to aces high. they were a marine patrol variant of the B-24. it had a straight tail none of that stupid "twin fin" stuff. It was faster, had more defensive armament, could carry more bombs,could also carry torpedos and had a longer range then the B-24. Overall i think it was a better plane. It would be great for CV hunting

It was called Privateer, not mariner.

While it might not add a lot to the game it is a cool airplane, always wanted to fly one to compare it to the B-24.

Certainly would be interesting to add down the road, i'd like to see more EW and MW bombers added to the game.

I'm sure you only need LA7's and Spit 16's to defend airfields as well.

Ive sunk 27 cvs with just b25s 3x1,000lbers coming in at 3k. The ack usually tears one of my drones up, but sacrificing one drone for a sunk cv seems worth it.
