H6K Mavis
« on: March 06, 2012, 07:51:16 PM »
We all know that the Mavis was mass-produced so no thought as to if was at least squadron size.

The Kawanishi H6K 'Mavis' was a long range flying boat that demonstrated that Kawanishi could complete with the best in the world, and that despite its lack of protection remained in front line service throughout the Second World War.

The H6K was designed as a result of a 8-Shi specification for a large flying boat issued by the Japanese navy in 1933. Kawanishi proposed two designs in response to this aircraft, the Type Q and Type R. Neither satisfied the Navy, and in 1934 a modified 9-Shi specification was issued. The new aircraft was to have a range of 2,500 nautical miles and a cruising speed of 120 knots.

You could save some typing with a blanket request for everything that existed in WW2 that's not currently in the game.  :D

Aircraft will be added regularly, as they have been since the game launched, regardless of whether or not HTC is reminded every 2 weeks of every aircraft not currently in the game.

Or expend the energy looking at, or for porn, like most 14 year-olds do, instead of complaining about what lacks in a game that he has barely finished a 2-week trial for...

I'll be nice and just recommend taking a couple of months to read up on previous wishlist requests/discussions/arguments. This may help avoid embarrassing public displays of excitement regarding 'new and unique' suggestions.  :)

They do have a point as you have almost filled the wishlist with singles.


This is however, the only thread about the H6K Mavis (specifically) that I can find.  And at least the things asked so far are not something retarded like Kamikaze, the Ohka, or the N00K for the B-29.


As for the H6K Mavis, toss in the H8K Emily as well.  This gets a +1 from me regardless. :aok

Before you posted that, I was the only person ignorant of that totally obvious fact.  Now we all know.  :aok
