Don't think we need US Bomber, but some country like Japanese/Germany/British, etc need more bomber than we do.

I agree, I would love to fly that big old B-24 Liberator or the Mitchel B-25.  LOL, Make for some fun Carrier raids.  The B-29 would be fun, however I think it might be overkill.  How about the British Wellington, or the Manchester?

But I know some will just use them as another big dive bomber like the Lancasters and Fortresses are constantly being used.  Still think there should be an altitude arming limitation.  And before anyone says it, I know it isn't realistic, but neither are dive bombing bombers.  It would at least limit them to what they were actually used for.

OK, let the thread begin.

Now there is an idea.  And I like the Cat too.  Perks for rescues.  Hummm, that has real merit.

its been said before that AH 109g10 is a 109k in discuise
i think pyro said they put it as a g10 and not a "k" so people could put a 20mm cannon

Joc--

I read about the Sunderland for the first time the other day.  What a cool ride!
Title: Here are some of my ideas
Post by: gofaster on June 01, 2004, 10:06:25 AM
I'd like to see:

Japan:
-------
Ki-44 Shoki.  High altitude fighter/interceptor.  Claim to fame was that it was one of the few Japanese fighters that could climb up to the altitudes the B-29s flew at.

Ki-100.  A development of the Ki-61 fighter, using a more powerful, radial engine instead of the license-built inline engine.

Ki-84 Hayate.  Would make a nice perk plane for Japan.

US:
---
M4 Sherman variant, possible the Calliope rocket attachment.  Would make town attacks much more interesting, particularly with Tigers defending.

M26 Pershing as a perk tank.  90mm gun to counter Tigers.

B-25 Mitchell.  Can't have a Doolittle raid without it!  Should make it carrier-capable in the MA on a regular basis.

P-40N. The most-built model, and probably the best of the line.  The P-40E really is a dog of an airplane.

Russia:
--------
T-34.  I can't believe we don't have one already.

P-39 Airacobra.  Ok, so its a US-built plane, but the Russians used it much more effectively than the US did.

France:
--------
Dewoitine D.520.  We really should have a French plane in the game.

defo agree we need more tanks now the ground terrain allows for more/better GV action.....
