'What about the Fiery Swordfish'

Is that a new RIP from EFI or did you mean Fairy Swordfish

id sure like to see the possibility to open the cockpit for better visibility

Ya thats a neat feature in WW2 Online, but i dont think the Glass in AH is tinted like it is in WW2 online:), it would still be cool to be able to open it though.
I gues technicaly we already have some open cockpit's, the Gunners in the Kate, Val, SBD, Me 110C-4 for instance are open, it would be nice to see some of the above planes though.

Gloster Gladiator

Probably not. Excelent manouverability but with only 4 .303's it would be at best an ASSIST KING, like the 202. Might give the A6M2 a run for its money.

42

See gloster Gladiator above, but replace the 303's with 2, 12.7mm Breda. can you say Queen of the ASSISTS, I thought you could.

Sm 79

This just might make it in. Nice warload but piddly defence. Hell the Ju-88 A4 is in so why not.

I-16

Need more info on this one to make a desision, namely guns. Nice manouverability tho.

Fairy Swordfish

[sarcasim]Yes, we need something slower than a Kate with the same defensive armament. [/sarcasim]

Most of these are not realy MA types, though some would fly them their for the fun of it, they would have a big place in the CT I can think of a number of great set up's that could include the above planes.

It would look somthing like this(pic stolen from the other thread:) ):

The A5M is another good one:

I'm all for it! I have also requested many times about the possibilities of open cockpits in the past

!!

Now, Rowan's BoB was heaven in one aspect, and hell in the other(ooh.. key settings... oooh....).. but in the 'heaven' side, they had a lot of interesting details within the game - opening cockpits and leaning out for visibility was one of them

!

Currently the "O" key is not used in the fighters - I think besides that HTC would feel it 'tedious'

- there's virtually no reason as to why the feature shouldn't be used... it'd be really great in taxiing, or carrier landings, too!

ps) of course, I don't think they should allow open cockpit flying at 25k...

Another Favorate of mine the Hs 123:

Bring em on!

Just model my Float planes/ flying boats first.

brady · « **Reply #13 on:** June 09, 2003, 03:41:27 AM »

Like the F1M:)

Ghosth · « **Reply #14 on:** June 09, 2003, 07:22:09 AM »

Yep

Plus I really think the Japanese plane set could not be complete without a long range bomb/depthcharge hauling Mavis.

Many were built, they were heavily armed, flew huge distances,.
