I doubt that I will use it when it comes out for any of it's intended purposes.

I will likely spend the first tour that it is available trying to see how many house/mountain/hangers, etc that I can land upon  :noid

I thought trying to find a place a land a goon to give a friendly supps was hard. No longer will i suffer this dilema  :D

I think that while this may create some controversy for those of us who just want to have fun it will provide just that.

M3 gets up to 60mph, right? M-18 is pretty fast, too? Might try recreating landing a plane on a moving vehicle...

This is an interesting statement(and I ain't pointing the finger at you Butch).  Most fellas do nothing but the camping defensive side of things.  Less danger involved that way.  I do not consider the job done when a camp is sealed.  I consider it done when the campers after stopping the enemy GV's inbound begin spawning towards the offending enemy field and assualt it.  In Transition from defense to offense the Stork will be viable on both sides of this engagement.  Round and round it goes....Ideally.

I think overall it "will" improve gameplay and thats if - the bomb****s are rendered useless unless exactly over the GV or marked by a Storch.

I am quite curious to see how a storch will do on offense - air tactical strategy will be needed to an extent for a storch to be a viable option.

Here's what i'm thinking and its just a wild theory that probably isn't going to work but -
If aircrafts have absolutely no visibility on ground vehicles and require to be a very close proximity (under 800yds) to see a ground vehicle,
this requires Storch's to spot, also requiring a higher CAP for the attacking force - bomb****s aren't going to be zipping around at 50 feet looking for GV's, nor can they fly at 4k either (they can't spot) - thus requiring a storch.

Wirbls won't be operating just on a Base anymore, but also going out to the "Spawns" to make sure no IL-2's or Hurri's can provide air support.
Storch's also would be required on offense otherwise tankers would simply be "blind" without someone at 5k spotting for them.

Just a theory that probably won't happen because of the "arcade" nature of the late war arena, however it would certainly cause more strategic uses for the storch and overall gameplay.

/Who am I kidding, Lusche pointed out even with the ENY raised to 60 or even 100 (joke) people will still fly 51s and La7s.
//The overall game play will never change, hording a base with 60 vs 1 defender is our game play now.

AH would need some serious changing. If you land on a friendly you'll go though, if you land on an enemy you'll explode.

M4 doesn't have the forward speed to do it.

I think in order to pull it off I would have to stall the stork a few feet in front of the M4 so as I come down the 3-4 feet it comes under me and "catches" the stork.

what hanger is the stork going to be housed in?

will the enemy be able to spawn when all the vehicle hangers are down?

that 7mm gun can kill troops and the unlimited lives of ah could cause a problem with securing a base.
