Remove the fantasy - Ar-234
« on: July 02, 2012, 03:49:29 AM »
I like the Arado. Love it actually. The designers really knew what they were doing! But I have a few problems with it as it is.

1) The Arado never had rear facing cannons. I fly this plane. I fly it without the cannons. It doesnt need them.
2) The Arado never flew in formations. Formations should be removed for this aircraft. It doesnt need them and the formations are only there for scoring. With the survivability of this plane it can make multiple trips just fine.
3) The Arado is not a bomber. The Arado is an attacker. I understand about the level bomber role being a possibility since the function was there to unstrap and use the sight and bomb. I also understand it was never done that way. The Arado was most often (I woud say always) used as a dive bomber (attack).

So this is a three way wish. Remove the guns. Remove formations. Add an attack role.

Add forward facing gunpods if you wish.  :D

I don't have all the literature to support your first wish (rear guns) but I do agree with the formations and attack score - personally I think this would be a good thing.  As it is, i have never seen a formation of 234s - always solo and always armed (and mind you, those rear 20s can be deadly!!)

the 20mm's should indeed be removed, especially when you see how it is exploited with the F3 view...

It wouldn't require F3 if the periscope worked :old:

I guess people are tired of getting owned by the 234. :)

Never really had a problem with the 234...why change it?

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

I got asked a lot about that. Just my rudder movements badly timed with when I paused the film.

I guess we all have different definitions of "ownage"

In any case, more realism can't be bad.

Because it isn't accurate.

Did anybody really have a problem with the .50s, bombs and rockets on the Spitfire Mk IX?  No, but they weren't accurate for that model of Spitfire Mk IX and thus were correctly removed when the Spitfires were updated.

Per Lyric's data it never actually had them, just the technical ability to have them.
