a 88 would be great..... easier to hide in trees and take out tanks, plus AA ammo as well.... was one of my fave things to do in WWIIOL.... taking out tanks from far away without them even knowing what was happening.

If a future F4U-1c will be a perked load out option of an F4U-1a
could a future Wirbelwind be a perked load out option of an Ostwind?

What about we delete aircraft and vehicles that dont actually fall into the catigories that HTC requires for something to be in the game.. IE saw combat, Had more than a couple of.
OSTIWIND 3 EVER CREATED NONE SAW COMBAT>
ME-163- The piper cub saw more combat than this thing and where more common.
La7- (3 cannon) Was as common as a hells angel at a hootie and the blowfish concert. (perk the 3 cannon loadout :)
-
ill take a couple of aim-9 sidewinders on my P-51D, with a built in massager in the seat, with an am/fm radio, cd player, sub woofer or two on the floor, and maybe even a LCD screen with a built in dvd player for those extra long escort flights.
p.s. oh and santa, dont forget the cup holder please?

Don't know about the ME163 or LA7 specs & numbers, but your numbers are a bit off on the Ostwind (Eastwind)
Wirbelwind and Ostwind were successors to the Flakpanzer IV Mobelwagen (armed with 37mm Flak 43 L/89) - "interim solution" produced before the introduction of real Flakpanzer. In July of 1944, prototype of Ostwind (Eastwind) - an air defense armored vehicle build on Panzer IV's proven chassis was produced. Its design was very similar to that of Flakpanzer IV Wirbelwind (Whirlwind) which prototype was build in May of 1944 and was to become the first true Flakpanzer. Both vehicles were build on retired or battle damaged Panzer IV (mainly Ausf F/G) chassis/components returned from the front for major repairs. The concept of Wirbelwind was that of Karl Wilhelm Krause, an officer of 12th SS Panzer Division "Hitler Jugend", who in summer of 1944, proposed to mount four barrelled 20mm Flak 38 L/112.5 gun on PzKpfw IV's chassis.
Wirbelwind and Ostwind were fitted with very similar (especially designed) open-top (Wirbelwind's turret had 9 side panels and Ostwind's had 6 side panels) turrets mounted in the place of standard turrets. Ostwind's turret was nicknamed Keksdose - cookie tin. Main difference was that Wirbelwind was armed with quadruple 20mm Flak 38 L/112.5 guns while Ostwind was armed with single 37mm Flak 43 L/89 gun (both could be used against ground targets as well). 20mm Flak proved to be less effective than 37mm Flak and was eventually replaced by it. Both were produced by Ostbau Works in Sagan, Silesia in limited numbers due to the material shortages and the fact that Ostbau Works moved to facilities of Deutsche Eisenwerke in Teplitz and Duisburg due to danger of being overrun by the Soviets. Overall from May to November of 1944, only 87(105) Wirbelwinds were made, contrary to only 44(43) Ostwinds produced from July 1944 to March of 1945. Both vehicles were issued to Flugabwehrzug (AA platoons) units of Panzer Divisions. There were never enough of them to equip frontline units, which were in the need for adequate mobile AA defense. Both proved to be very effective against low flying aircraft. The interesting fact is that prototype Ostwindwas combat tested by 1st Waffen SS Panzer Division "Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler" during the Ardennes Offensive (December 16 to 22 of 1944) and returned to factory undamaged

Give Moil his flippin Wirbelwind already. The poor guys going crazy! I'd only say ok to the 88s in the ground role. AA would be to much like the CV 5" lazer guns, unless they come up with some sort of system that takes some skills to use it in that role.
-
That is an awesome model Jester, thanks for sharing. I have one similar to it, I'll have to post some pic's
Thanks SuperDud, hehehe (I'm not crazy yet:O )
The 88's would work great for AT & AA work. You say for a ground role only, due to the fact it might be like the 5" guns on the CV.
I disagree, who said it has to be a real easy point-n-click type scenario? HT can always make adjustment for the way the weapon is to be used.
Make it have a fuse or timer, make it that the gun requires a crew of two to fire (took a crew of 10-12 IRL) Things can be adjusted to make it fair and not some dominating weapon on the battlefield. These of course are just ideas I'm throwing on the table.
On a side note, even with the 5" guns on the CV, you'll notice CV's still get killed quite easily bombers & the like (IMO)
