We need one of these on the "Unfriendly Seas" of AH.

An E-Boat would indeed be a nice addition.

Would be cool. Plenty of firepower, 40 Knot top speed and even racks on the back for mines or depth charges should we get submarines in the future.

Ya it would rock hard, be real nice to have a Boat like tis that could take 50cal fire, their are some vershions whith even more AA guns on them than shown in that pick, I ran a post on it a lont time ago, I will see if I cant dig it up.

As would the staff sitting topside. Didn't some Tuskeegee Airmen blow one up strafing it in P-40s? That would kind of stop the "immune to MG bullets" claims wouldn't it?

The tuskeegee airmen flew P-51's only if I remeber correctly.

They were the "men with the red tails" as the 303rd bomber group called them

Even destroyers weren't immune to .50 cal fire in WW2. Doubt some little kraut skiff is gonna do any better.

The Red-tailed Angels flew the P-40, P-47 and P-51. They had to settle for hand-me-down P-51Cs as white groups transitioned to the P-51D. That was SOP, with the Tuskeegee pilots being last in line for new equipment.

Oh yeah, the P-51C was a Dallas built P-51B, just as the P-51K was a Dallas built P-51D (with a different Aeroproducts prop).

My regards,

It would be a player controled boat.

The German E boats(s boats) had armore on them in critical areas, unlike their American counter parts. So in this regard they would be able to asorbe much more damage.

Batz · « **Reply #13 on:** February 12, 2003, 03:38:00 PM »

maybe you could "skip" 50 cals across the water to penetrate the unarmored area below the water line. Hell it worked and tanks right?

When bullets impact water they slow down dramatically. By the time it reached the ship, it would have the same effect as a salmon running into the ship...
