Basically I think that the list of available aircraft for the CVs is a little light. So I'd request (whether done by vote or an in house decision) that the next new aircraft to be added be one built for carriers. Perhaps if done by vote that all the choices are sea based planes (sea hurricane, firefly, seafury...)
I would request at the very least though that the sea hurricane be added when the hurri is eventually overhauled.
-
Agreed.
-
sounds awesome i agree :aok
-
Seafury is postwar.
Firefly, D4Y or some such would be nice though.

my fingers are cramping... can someone say it for me?

And, Hurricat used a catapult, lol. Learn your history before posting.

I will, Sik, SEARCH! AHHH
-
Some sea capable tanks would be cool too, like the ones used at normandy, granted most sank before reaching the shore.

Was it design issues of the American tanks at normandy or field conditions?

If you leave it to a vote, you'll just end up with another F4U of some sort.
Judy is the best offensive weapon the blue water plane set could probably get. A dive bomber with enough speed to actually get to target.
-
Another thing that would be nice for carriers is to be able to resupply them.

Ironic. Sullie has a History Degree.

Firefly wasn't a dive bomber, a fighter/bomber rather, but it did 316mph and coulds carry two 1,000lb bombs while being armed with four Hispanos.

How about reading comprehension?
He didn't say hurricat. He said sea hurricane. The hurricat was a dilapidated Hurr1 stuck on a rocket and ditched when done. A sea hurricane was a plane refitted with arrestor gear and the equipment for CV operations.
There's a difference. :aok

Late-model Firefly edges out the MW Judy in performance as to top speed, ammo load, and heavier guns, but Japanese plane-set needs a lot more help in general, and for PTO SEA even more.

I agree with you mate perhaps carrier scout plane soemthing of that sort:aok

Indeed. Did you know that Captain Kirk never actually said "Beam me up Scotty." Also, London used to have about 100,000 full and part time prostitutes.

not all sea hurricnes were hurricats. Hurricat was a special version created for merchant marine defense.

plus it would be virtually useless, it was armed with 8 .303's, may kill some troops and scratch your paint but not much else.

oh...I did not read down far enough to see this...but, I guessed it right!
-
the tanks failed for a number of reasons.
the sea was very rough and they were droped off too early and too far from land,also the tanks tried to swim across the current instead of with it so soon become swamped and sank.
-
mmmmm more sea planes would be sweet.
How about we turn on formations for CV based bombers... and actually make it so they can dive bomb and climb out without losing the drones

i saw a show on either the Histroy or Military channel that said the orders for the tanks to not be sent in never made it, thus the rough waters sunk them.

WE NEED MORE ITALIANS!!!:furious :D

We held a vote. No one wanted an Italian plane that was well liked at the time, and reportedly preformed better than most, if not all, similar German 109's, and had 3 x 20mm cannons with a large ammo load out. And b-be guns. It was called the G.55 and it lost out in the very first round of voting. Just too uber I suppose.... would have been a threat to all the lgays, splixteens, runstangs, and niki-hos in the game. Would have been a threat to bombers too. Can't have that.
-
well the G55 would be my first vote for the italians, always. but perk it a little to that the ponys nikis and spixteens are al under pressure
