47D or 38L ? you need both NOW

[-towd_]

Howdy just got back from a short vacation, and am suprised that we have so many aircraft and still no 38 ( 47 occured to me also) these were the and i mean the planes to me from ww2 (late war super fighters YAWN imho) can u please for once give up the "no when" statements and tell me (and the community) what the time line is for these 2 greatly needed planes.

and yes i said needed, since yall havent managed to create the ground  attack side of the game .i.e land vehicals and ground targets that are not protected by (vulcan guns with radar guidence and endless ammo and magic unburnoutable barrels TM) thus making your existing (static) land targets almost invunerable to fighter attack (if your planin on livin) where are the tanks? where are the trains? (if there ever were to be trains). we need airplanes that we love and my personal love affair is with 38 not the late war stuff that is so prevailent as it stands now ( give me 1939 airplane that was still in production in may45.)

now i realize this is your baby but it seems like you are doin some things simmilar now to the way brand w did. puttin out the planes and features you want when you want. i present your obtuse behavior on the subject of the 38, i and several others have continuously asked for any info on this plane and have been given almost nothing (pyro made a statement once online that he had a directive or order from hitech on it but wouldent say more). so now that you are about to start chargin tell me when a close estimate is fine.

 The "D" ????  P-47 "M" please!

Yes, yes, the "M"!

And here are the best reasons!

1) Nobody else has it
2) It's the only model that'd be competitive in this arena
3) It's the only model that could possible stand up to the Otto-Cyborg/AckMaster mk1.
4) 8 .50's  
5) Tons of bombs, and rockets  

Those are the first 5 I could think of right off the top of my head, anyone else?

Hmmm.  P47-M.....

1. They could chase down the 190-D9, TA-152, DO-335 and make an ME-262 pilot poop a hefty weinerschnitzel! If there was a P-47M we would have to have these aircraft too.

2. They would make chew toys of the F4U-1C!

3. A Runstang couldn't!!!!

4. The 56th FG had awesome camo jobs for them!  http://www.tholianweb.com/cgi-bin/decals.pl?scale=48&setid=015&dbs=aeromaster&pgs=2&currpg=1&dclimg=ad48015

"A Runstang couldn't!"

I love it  

Some other things:

1) About 200 or so saw combat (same as F4u-1C)
2) Faster n' all beat hell (including a bat out of)
3) Tougher n' a brick toejamhouse
4) Heavier n' a brick toejamhouse
5) It'd be the only plane able to take 1/2 a second to a second of fire from that F4U-1C and the rest of the 4x20mm beasties  

Have a nice day

Look out Curly, this one wasn't bad!

Hey, guys, the 'M'???  This kind of goes against the grain of TOWD's original post, since the P-47M is yet another uberbird.  I agree with TOWD, 38J & 47D.

Since when was the P-47D not as competitive as Fw 190A-8 in WB? Given that that's even a rough approximation what would/could be in AH, IMO the P47D would be pretty good.

We need the 38

Fats,

That was in WB's man, not Aces Hight.  The 190 A-8 is competitive in here because *yipe!* it's properly modeled, and with those big 4 cannon, she can do some damage.

If they model the 47D like it's supposed to be, it could be competitive, but with all these tight turning, cannon swinging late wars, she'd be kinda lost  

We need the M to give it a lil' more "oomph" and up to speed.  She won't be able to turn, but good god, she has 3,000 horses.  It'll probly be a very tricky plane to fly, but I've been flyin jugs in brand W for 2 years, so I'm up for it.

Westy,

Read your post while drinking some chocolate milk.. Laughed so hard .. shot it out my nose!

 Fats, I agree w/ you.  The p47D is VERY competitive in WB.   I remember a couple of years ago in a Weekend Warrior.  T2(tagert) and myself were grabbing alt in p47D's, when we got bounced by 7 190's from about 5,000 above us, we were at about 15k or so.  Well after about 5 minutes of turning, we killed 5 of the 190's and sent the other 2 home smoking.

 I personaly hope we get the D model, it's more of a challenge to fly    that's where the fun is for me...

Sounds like you're looking for a pair of crutches Rebel!

 

Hehe, just bein' cheeky.

[Rebel]

No.  
I just want an uber-jug  

Seriously, I wouldn't mind flyin the D, but the M....ohmagod.  

And who the hell said crutches were a bad thing?

As much as I'd like to fly the Jug and the FTD, I'd like to see some more non-US fighters first.  Right now the planeset is already distorted in the Pro-US direction.

And it's not like adding the Jug and the FTD would add any capability beyond what the Pony and Hog can do.  The P-38L adds some climb, and the Jug adds some speed at very high altitudes.  The Hog and Pony are superior in all other air-to-air or air-to-mud areas of performance.

I realize I'm thinking in terms of scenario matchups here.  Yes I'm biased that way.  If AH doesn't have a lot of scenarios I'll be leaving anyways.
