Title: Better than a 45
Post by: captkaos on August 10, 2006, 02:25:08 PM

Our pilots should have a STG 44 after they bail out, instead of the .45

Or a Thompson would also be good.

This  would make the pilot much more formidable as a ground troop once he landed.  Imagine vulcing an enemy runway with one of these.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I am realistic to know that no pilot in a fighter would have room for one of these two weapons, but it would be fun to have once you bail out and are on the ground.

Might not be realistic that a pilot would carry one, but he could always pick one up on the ground...

It would conceivably be quite easy to simply allow players to select "Infantry" as a hanger option, allowing them to then select from a variety of infantry weapons (carbine, sub-machinegun, sniper rifle, bazooka).  Imagine spawning a whole platoon in Kantorri's Fin-Rus terrain, the one with all the trenches at fields.  Of course, the assaulting force would have quite a walk to get to their target, even from a "nearby" spawn point (at least until the ability to mount vehicles was added to the game).:D

I'd think the M1A1 Carbine with the folding stock would be a possible "carry on" weapon for a pilot, at least in the roomy US planes. Not the hitting power of a real infantry rifle, but better than a .45.

Just not bail out and have your aircraft's guns shoot the enemy instead, can't beat that :)

Its the best image I could find on the internet that looked sweet. Yes I notice it was airsoft, but in AH an airsoft bb would kill any one that got in my way.
