new stuff and add on's
« on: December 26, 2011, 12:28:50 PM »
when the Me 410 comes out, make it the U4 model so it will have the 50mm Bordkanone. Like to see the siren effect added to the Junker 87.

I'm a big fan of the Me-410 coming to the game but wonder about the 50mm. It is a historical part of the game but does it change it too much? If you can park 1.5m behind the buffs and sniper kill them then we've got a problem. The immediate response is to add range to the .05 cal the buffs are shooting. In real life .05cals can kill you with consistent accurace out to 7,000 feet, well over a mile. This is over 2m away.

If we add the 50mm do we need the .05 cal killing out to 2m? If so, it changes buff hunting for every bird. And perking the 50mm package is not the answer. We will soon develop Me-410 specialists who do nothing but fly perked 50mm packages and kill every buff that ever ups. I suppose what this means is every buff will have an escort team or die. Could this lead to more coordinated attacks and defense?

last time i checked the 50 cal isnt going to pierce through an armored A/C at 2 miles especially at those speeds and  the shot has probably got to be a 1 in a million shot to hit anything vital at all. if one 50 can baely damage an A/C at 600 yards you gotta be one lucky SoB to kill at 2 miles with it in here

Having  researched the Me 410, the plane with two 8mm and two  20mm it's just an under armed Mosquito. (I know it has the remote controlled side guns).As far as added power of the 50mm's, we have the 262 with great speed and 4 30 mm's. We have the b-29 with all it's fire power. ( oh , where's the atomic bomb)
Just kidding on that. Besides we have  planes which are very strong and we have very weak planes.  We have four P-40's. why so many ? we have five P-47's. Why so many? If we are to get a new plane, make it different. From what I have read , the Me 410 with the 50 mm Bordkanone only carried a limited number of rounds anyway.

The P-40 and P-47 models are all exactly the same. Minor variations makes it fill a gap (P-47-D11 to -M/and P-40E to -N) with very minimal staff time. I don't know of the working times for variations, but I'm sure HTC could make 10 different variations from a pre-existing bird in the same time it takes to model a brand new one from scratch and still get more people to fly the several models over a single brand new bird.
