Treelines for tanks to hide behind (not that they will stop bullets though).

Some JABO's for the VVS and LW.

Japs can take two eggs. Italians dinnae really have any. Brits got Tiffie. Yanks got P-51, P-47, P-38, F4U-C, F4U-D.

Am i the only one noting a tendency here?  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/biggrin.gif).

Re: selecting guns in Luftwaffe planes...

I saw that there was a special flip level trigger used in 109s that would only allow MGs to be fired, but if flipped it would go over to cannons only.  Is this correct on all 109s - only being able to fire one or the other?

Pyro just posted in AC/V that they're gonna add a timed fuze to the 21cm rockets. That's not the problem though; it's the lack of blast radius for them. Been this way since BETA, Ash picked up on it and posted in the Bug boards a while back. Ronni said they'll try getting it on 1.05. I reminded Pyro in his AC/V post about Ord Change regarding this, so it may get fixed.

(repeat from another thread, but what the heck)

I would like to see:

1. Smoking remains of airplanes after they crash, vehicles that have been destroyed, and planes falling from the sky after a person bails. That would be cool. Imagine what the terrain would look like after a good furball with all of those smoking hulks lying around.

2. Finer resolution on the trim keys so you could actually trim a plane to level flight manually without resorting to that auto-trim trick.

buhdman, out

Stuka is the most overrated AC of WWII....

Completely pointless addition to AH unless a RPS is implemented (or it's added along with a full BoB planeset for a scenario or something.)

Total sitting ducks in the arena. People would fly 'em for 2-3 days after they came out and afterwards they'd make Mc 202s look popular.

Post by: AKSeaWulfe on November 15, 2000, 01:27:00 PM
Overrated because they suck solo. Send up three or four with an escort of 5 or 6 quick fighters and you could really wreak some havoc on those poor bastids on the ground.

Stuka would probably be fine for hopping in and attacking those GV's approaching the base you took off from.  (if u had some time to get alt)  

If there is a coordinated attack on your base consisting of AC and ground units the Stuka would probably do ok as well.  OR at least it would sucker the enema fighters down, greedily looking for an easy kill.  With the Stuka's tight turn radius I'd imagine the survivability in close to your own base with fighter support wouldn't be all bad.

AKSeaWulfe,
In the summer of '40 the British had no problem slaughtering them regardless of how they were escorted.

The problem with the Stuka is that it has a max speed of 220mph, has no armor for the crew and is extremely lightly built.

They would get hacked out of the sky in droves and no escort will save them.  It might make the Stuka's killer pay, but that doesn't do the Stuka much good.
I have nailed a C-47 that was escorted by P-51s when I was in a Zero.  The P-51s couldn't even make me pay for that.

If we want a dedicated ground attack aircraft that will actually get used we need to be asking for an Il2-3M or an Il-10.  I know they don't have the "coolness" of being Luftwaffe aircraft, but they were actually effective in the face of competent opposition.
If we MUST have a Luftwaffe aircraft, I would suggest focusing on the Henshel Hs129.

Im for any addition of early war/BoB planes!
Bring em on , Ill fly em and wont care to be outclassed. When I was in WB hardly anyone flew 109E , but I flew it all the time and managed enough kills to keep me more than happy. Not to mention the Hurricanes, P40's hell even the Iron Dog. I for one would fly the Stuka.

Hi

Replicant 109 can fire all weapons together.
The KG13B control stick had seperate firing ability for both MG and cannon. The MGs were fired by the "flip lever" when it was flipped forward over the edge of the stick, if it was flipped back flat on top of stick then it was in safety.
The cannon had a dedicated button on the top of the stick. The MG lever in safety mode did cover the cannon button, so it seems it might have acted as a safety for both weapons.

Flip lever back- weapons in safety
Flip lever forward- fire MG by pressing on lever with index finger, fire cannon by pressing button with thumb

Selectable cannons....


Ok are you asking for the ability to fire just gondolas and not the main cannon?  One set of cannon on a 190 and not the other?

We already can fire MG's or cannon, or both now..  unless you are asking for what I mentioned above I just don't get it....

In the Fw 190 with 4*20mm the pilot could select to fire the outboard pair seperate from the other 2 inboard pair.

I'd like to see a 'death cam', ie after you get shot down, you get a 3rd person view of your ac/gv and a short sequence of the shots slamming into you and then the explosion/crash or what ever.

Now it's just ka-ta-ta-ta-ta-bing-bing-bing and then wham, you are back in the tower. Quite an anti klimax after a fierce dogfight...

Anyways, AH is great.
