Blimps/Biplanes
« on: July 31, 2002, 03:41:40 PM »
Perhaps we could bring blimps to AH alond with some biplanes and maybe a few ww1 planes, one reason the blimp was used alot in ww1 and early ww2 from what i hear and it would be cool to just go out on a Baloon Busting mission only problem is there was alot of aa around observation blimps. It could be set up like a TG but would have to be refueld and had a limit on how far it could go. for observation blimps they would be pulled to the ground to transport ... and perhaps this would be a fine additon in the TA. You would get points for gunning down some planes,observing,it would bring a whole new gameplay to AH.

Oh bring the me323 to AH German Transport for 32 troops or maybe the ju52 although this is very slow but nice ride.

LI2 Russian transport for 12 troops.

PE8 basicly b17 for russia.

PE3 russian fighter/bomber 2 enginged

And of course the stuka! with the siren.

i would love that  :D   but blimps also dropped bombs ... i think ... wouldent it be neat if we got to fly one of those at 13k hover'd over a base and hurled bombs like footballs :D  ...... sitt'n there with a SMG or rifle and shot at planes ...c'mon everyone would love that.... they would be great for blow'n up city's and factorys

They would be great! Bring in the biplanes (ww2) & blimps :)

Dunno about ww1 planes, cuz this is a ww2 sim but definitly need the great ww2 biplanes, Gloster Gladiator,Cr.42,I-153,Hs-123, & maybe a FaireySwordfish.

Gloster Gladiator was first to intercept enemy bombing raids in the BOB, defended malta, and was used all over europe & northafrica.
Cr.42, more of them built than almost any other italian fighter,
I-153, largly produced, even in the war, it was produced at a higher rate than the I-16 monoplane!
Hs-123, don't know much about it, but it served an important role in german ground attack missions, & could carry 2x20mm Cannons! :eek:
FaireySwordfish can be added cuz... It looks really cool! :D

They would definitly be usefull in CT,scenarios, And I think they can even be used in MA, I mean we got a val, and the val is slower & worse armed then ALL the biplanes I listed other than the SwordFish, and you see it in MA.

Blimps would be really fun! there was even a blimp... cant remember the name, but it could carry & launch planes!
Dunno what kind of role they could play, but if they were used in Ww2 Bring em to ah! :D
