Atom bombs and V1's

[Butcher]

I would love the Fritz as well!  Did a lot of reading on this fore-runner of today's guided missles and bombs.  Very cool Axis weapon that was deployed and actually worked.  Too damn well if I understand correctly...

Well it did work, but it had its drawbacks - the bomber has to be in range and circling the target leaving it VERY vulnerable to fighters - when no fighters are around its one of the most accurate anti ship bombs there is.

I would love to also have the VB-1 an american made "glide" bomb - although it wasn't a stand off weapon, it was used against the Burma Railroad bridges, and VERY successful at it.

butcher I sink lots of cv's and I can tell you that in 99.99999999999999% of the time there's not a single fighter over the cv.  but I do see lots of fighters heading to the base as I pass over them at the mighty high alt of 5.5k.

As far as working to well I was speaking to the fact that they found rather than penetrating to a decent distance inside a ship and then exploding, it would actually punch all the way through the target then explode.  Literally tore a whole from hell in some of the tests that the Germans conducted.  Will read up on the Italian ship they hit ans see if this was the case...

Just read a write up supposedly it went through 6 decks of the Roma.

[Skull_001]

yes!


i also like the 5000 perk nuke that would make a flash and cool mushroom cloud but only do 100lbs of damage.   

+1 to the pointlessly fired V1

+1 to the nuke ONLY IF it is as pathetic as an HVAR rocket!!!

Imagine:

My thing with the atom bomb is that 2 were dropped at the end of WW2 and 2 should have to be droped to end our wars........

As for the V1 it would just be something to shoot at..... nothin' more really

OK at the end of the war just shine a flashlight in your eyes and pretend it was a nook going off, think of it as AH roleplaying style.

[ozrocker]

Yeah, a plane circling tgt ship for Fritz
 I can imagine the added deluge of ship ack whines

The biggest bomber score you can get in AH does not come from hitting the industrial facilities, but from otherwise pointless terror bombing of harmless small towns all over the countryside...  

Exactly, it's a travesty.....




who's terrorised again?

Bah its all a scam the construction companies are payin kick backs to Bomber command so they get the bid for rebuilding.

SYSTEM: The map will reset in 4 minutes

[Tank-Ace]

I have an idea.

How about at the end of the war, a B-29 flys over the losing countrys' capitols, and drops an atom bomb.


It will be in the game, just not player-used. Kind of like the 105mm AA guns at the strats.



As for the Friz-x, it would be a decent trade off. You get an almost guaranteed hit, but you do less damage.

However, I could see it being abused as a Tiger II buster, which should not be allowed under any circumstances; its not an 'effing anti-tank missle.

Why not? There's a huge trade off... The person has to GUIDE the missile in the process - not only is he using perks hoping not to get intercepted, but during the guiding stage he cannot man his guns.
Consider this - the Do-217 wasn't exactly fast or well defended, with only 1 fritz-X, you have a better chance of taking a P51-D with pair of 1,000lb bombs and suicide into the Tiger 2.

Dont think anyones going to use a Fritz-X on a tiger 2 especially since most dont move of concrete, and secondly to spot the Tiger you'd need to be low, where wirbls can easily kill Do-217s.

[Tank-Ace]

Because it has a 3 mile range. He could climb up real high to make intercept even more unlikely (he doesn't have to loiter indefinetly, and fighters don't typically prowl around at 15K+ around vehicle bases), and then spend 20 perks to take out a Tiger II camping the spawn.


20 perks for taking out a Tiger II is fairly cheap, considering how easy bomber perks are to come by, and that you could easily spend that much on a Panther to take him out (and the Panther isn't a sure kill, since you have to out-smart him).
