"stuka BUT ONLY if they put the siren in it otherwise like all the other games ive seen with it in ill be dissapointed when it doesnt have it and ill refuse to fly it and sit in the corner with the hump! "
I used to love taking my Stuka up in AW now and then, spend ages climbing to an enemy base, then diving down and hearng that SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM......K
nowing all the while that the poor slobs under me on their takeoff runs could hear it too....."the sound of inevitability"
The little lines on the window were useful for aiming too, surprisingly so.
I'll never forget this one mass Stuka attack on A-81...the blasted Bz brought over about 20 Stukas....funny as hell, every time one of them dove down you'd hear the WHHIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
RRRRR of that siren. Only time I've ever heard 15-20 Stuka sirens going off at once. Since my P-51 had what seemed like a 150 MPH speed advantage I just flew around them picking one off here and there while avoiding the ones with gunners who kept plinking away at me with that little tailgun (that tailgun had about half the lethality of a spud gun).
Then there was the time I was messing around in an IL2 and met up with an enemy Stuka....it wanted to hit my base but I could outrun him (how often do you hear about an IL2 outrunning anything heh heh heh). He could outturn me in the dogfight but I was in an IL2 and all he had was a pair of wimpy little noseguns and I think he ran out of ammo plinking away cuz he tried to run away again....didn't get too far though
Oh how I loved the stuka--it was great fun
It'd make a fine addition to AH.
AW had a few other sounds I miss in AH, like a SCRAPE when you bellylanded and best of all, CHUTE sounds. When you'd bail out of your plane, your chute had sound effects. If you got shot your poor little man would scream in pain as the screen went RED. Even more fun was NOT opening the chute and slamming into the ground with a satisfying squishy CRUNCH.
Ah, memories......
