Valid Wonder Weapons

Oh, for shame!!!!  I have abandoned the holy quest by mentioning aircraft and weapons that were used after 1941.  Gasp!!!  How could I?

Jeez.  Lighten up.

I have posted about many early war aircraft that I'd like to see, even though early war isn't really my cup of tea.  Mind you, late war isn't my cup of tea either.  I prefer the variety, with capability, of the mid war period.

Nonetheless, mentioning late war items does not mean that I only fly in the MA or that I only want super weapons.  It might mean that I simply want to discuss some late war equipment that doesn't normally get discussed.


BTW,

I think the Ohka would be far more interesting to use than suicide P-51s due to its crappy delivery system.  Because of that tension, hanging there beneath a slow assed, unarmored, G4M2e "Betty" I think the Ohka might be neat and completely different than the invulnerable suicide P-51s.

No, no, don't get me wrong.  I was going after the guys who think early war rides like the stringbag would never get used.  They would see the value of those planes if they ever joined in CAPs, Squad Ops, or the CT.

I was agreeing with posts asking for early war rides, not putting anybody's wish list down.  If it were up to me, there would be lots and lots more planes in the set, including early war, mid war, and late war rides.

how 'bout we rent a non-descript panel van, drive down to HTC's hq, gas n bag the whole group, set up an office in an abandoned warehouse, and come up with a definite list of aircraft/weaponry we want, and then refuse to release them until they model all of these planes solely for use in the CAPs/ToDs/SEA?

I think this idea has some merit... if anyone else is interested, I'll be at the Budget rental office =)

The Meteor saw no action whatsoever involving enemy manned aircraft. It shot down V1 flying bombs but as we dont even have a V1 in AH then whats the point? I have absolutely no desire to see me262s and meteors fighting in AH.Im sorry its fantasy.Thats not what i play AH for I want it as near to real as we can make a game personally.

Wrong. It was on the frontline, was in dogfights with FW-190s before being chased away by spits and did ground attack missions. Your reason for non-inclusion is very weak. We have FW-190s, we have ground targets so there is no reason why the Meteor Mk III shouldn't be added.

We also have some 'V1s' if you count dumb pilots that don't manuver and suicide into the side of a hanger.

He162? Don't get me wrong but wasn't this a bucket of crap the Germans built right at the end of the war after they ran outta pilots and wanted to send up the untrained ranks of the Hitler Youth?

It might be fun but I don't think they actually produced a whole hell of a lot of em.
