What would be the point of HTC wasting 10 or so man hours of adding this to the game?

If they could time it so that the wings would be all the way out and by the time the engine was finished starting....THAT WOULD BE FRICKEN AWESOME! they would need to do the same thing the f4f/fm2 and f6f!!

I just don't see why it would be worth it for HTC to spend these man hours that is strictly cosmestic (on the ground), and does not effect game play, when we still have so many items in need of upgrade.

Between updated aircraft, TOD/CT, new maps, the B-25 and a n00k, do you really think folding wings on a corsair should be at the top of the list?

Nobody said it needed to be at the top. It's a suggestion for eye candy, and as we all know, eye candy never makes it to the top of the list.

telling noobs that it part of the checklist for takeoff, then watching them having a diving contest off the end of CV.

If that is not worth 10 man hours, i don't know what is.

Some people catch on faster than others.





More like a command that when you spawn out on the CV deck the wings are folded up(like in real life) just before take-off, you have to un fold them to take -off.

How about when you launch off of a CV you have to be lifted outa the CV with the hanger elevator then unfold wings wait 5-10mins to load ord then start engine wait for clearance and then lift off. It would just be a waste of time and man hours. When I launch from a CV I want to be in the air in less then 10 seconds and get in a fight not wait on the CV waiting to get bombed or vulched.

These little touches would be great.

Cav is right in saying they have more important stuff to work on.

Look in the Terrain forum and look at some of croduh's work on explosions and water splashes.  Stuff like that would just improve the overall feel for the game.

Getting the community to do work where it is needed can only be a positive thing all round.  With the new skin pack I hope HTC works closer with guys that are giving them free time.
