HE-111

[titanic3]

We also have manned 5 inch guns.  ..."dude".

[Tank-Ace]

And so? Those are of limited effectiveness against anything much above 15k. And if the target is taking evasive action (no nice, flat bomb run needed with a guided bomb), you're not going to hit it except by luck.

I think the Fritz-X is very unlikely to be added. Why?
Cause avoiding each other (releasing a guided bomb from far away and escape) is against the game philosophy. my 2 cents.
Anyway, the 111 was an aging design even in the EW (see the BoB), even against spit1s and hurri1s. Would be a total death trap in the MAs, we also dont very often have EW events.
Ju-188 ftw and would be a better aircraft for the average gameplay. Nuff said!

Lol, you aim for the rocket, not the plane. Even if the manned 5in can't hit it (highly unlikely), we also have auto ack, and I'm sure a single hit is enough to blow it up.

[Tank-Ace]

Yes, because the gunner is going to be able to (or even should) see the bomb falling from 15k, and will be able to accurately target it  .


1) if you can shoot down this bomb, I want to be able to shoot down all bombs.

2) if this bomb has an icon to show its possition for gunners, I want all bombs to show an icon.

3) if auto ack fires at this bomb, I want it to fire at all bombs.


Its still a bomb, its still bomb-sized, its still falling. The only difference between the fritz x-bomb and a standard bomb is that the x-bomb could be guided onto it's target.

Theres no way to make the bomb practical (ie, not heavily perked) and follow the spirit of the game without unrealistic differentiation between this bomb and any other bomb.

This is gonna turn into a Butcher vs Tank Ace-like argument if I even attempt to argue with some one who doesn't even play the game.

NEXT!

Thats entirely irrelevent. This would be new to someone who'd played the game yesterday, and that experience from yesterday wouldn't help them use or counter it more effectively.

However, it does give you a nice excuse to bail from a losing argument.

[titanic3]

How do I "lose an argument" if the only one arguing is you?

NEXT!

Only because you bailed out. Either defend your point, or shut up and quit trolling. Because I'm gonna be honest here, it sounds REALLY sweethearty to go around saying "nyuh-uh! Fritz x-bomb would so work!", and then imediately flip around and say "I wasn't arguing, it was all you. NEXT!", not just once, but twice in the span of a few hours.

AGREED!!!!   

[Slade]

+1 for the HE-111

Followed closely by the Ki-43 and Yak-3 please.

It would work. Anything can work if you put your mind to it.

Forget fritz-x. Forget special bombs, or dumb icons and shooting bombs.

Just give us a BOB era He-111 (111H-2? 111H-4? something in this range)

And then give us a later version for use later on in scenarios, etc. Wouldn't be much different, but would have just about the same 3D shape.
