Planes needed in AH
« on: March 27, 2002, 02:37:56 AM »
We need the:

Whirlwind
He-111
Ju-87
Do-17
Defiant
Fairy
Wellington
P-39
SBD
B-25
KI-87
FWD-12
there is another plane I am not sure what it was called, I think it was called a shinden or something liek that, instead of the props being at the front, it was at the back.

But the Whirlwind would be interesting, with 4 (I think, might be wrong) 20mm.

There ya go HT, more planes to think about on the next patch :)

It was Wirblewind.

4x20mm

not needed IMO since we already have a very capable mobile anti-aircraft vehicle in the Ostwind

Shinden never saw service in WWII. Only in the fantasy 1946 Aces of the Pacific scenario.

I agree with you on the SBD-5 Dauntless though. Its the only plane I've ever really wanted. I built a model one for my girlfriend after she watched me play Aces High and got really interested in it and WWII with me. It holds a sentimental value.

Moose I believe he meant Westland Whirlwind and it had 4x20mm Hispano-Suiza cannons.

FDutchman is a little more realistic.

Instead of trying to name all the obscure planes flown in WW2, lets suggest planes that guys would actually want to fly routinely.

Right now the focus might be on some more early war aircraft, like the P40, so scenarios and the CT arena might benefit from them, and for the guys like Popeye who just prefer old things.  :)

Moose it was the Westland Whirlwind (sp?)

British twin, small with Hispanos in the nose

Not an uber ride based on performance though

I'm seriously considering sending HiTech a case of his beverage of choice, if I can get a written guarantee that a B-29 will be in the next upadate.

Otherwise, I agree with some of the above. We need a Dauntess, and a Stuka.

what possible justification could there be for adding the b-29?  go bomb stuff offline if you don't want to face any sort of opposition to your milking.

Yup.  Gotta have P61.

I hope that if this bird ever does arrive that HTC gives it a rudimentary in flight radar ability and allows the top turret to be commanded to FWD position for coupled firing with the quad 20s.

Also, rockets and bombs.

Yes, P61 P61 P61 P61 P61 P61 P61 P61 P61

A good friend of mine has been asking Pyro for a P61 since CK (Beta warbirds) in 1995!  I think he deserves a P61 for years of dedication to these developers! :D

As I understand it, it can't be done by this team, the surfaces are just too complex for them to comprehend and subsequently model using wireframe, surfaces or solids.  :eek:

Wow! You read my mind. That's exactly what I want it for!

:rolleyes:

Actually, Milking is the last thing I'm interested in. I prefer to fly a 26 on interdicition strikes, knocking down every little bit of opposition that comes my way.

I want the 29 as an alternative to that damn ugly Lanc, which we all know is completely undergunned.

Wait a minute. I just realized I am wasting my time replying to Shane.

Disregard.
