Hi chaps,
I believe it would be interesting to allow a totally player controllable battleship to roam about and around the oceans...Not much more than a CV killer on the prowl, maybe a good target for lone dive bombers...
It would be interesting to chase fleets with these surface mamouths and we have everything we need to have them:
Take a cruiser and upgrade it. Maybe an Iowa class BB:
Range: 9,600 miles (15,000 km) @ 25 knots (46 km/h);
16,600 miles (27,000 km) @ 15 knots (28 km/h)
Speed: 33 knots (61.12 km/h nominal);35 knots (64.82 km/h maximum)
Armament: 9 × 16 in (406 mm) 50 cal. Mark 7 guns
20 × 5 in (127 mm) 38 cal. Mark 12 guns
80 × 40 mm 56 cal. anti-aircraft guns
49 × 20 mm 70 cal. anti-aircraft guns
Armour: Belt: 12.1 in (307 mm)
Bulkheads: 11.3 in (287 mm)
Barbettes: 11.6 to 17.3 in (295 to 439 mm)
Turrets: 19.7 in (500 mm)
Decks: 7.5 in (191 mm)
Aircraft complement: 3 × Vought OS2U Kingfisher/Curtiss SC Seahawk;
Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Cheers,

come on this is your third post on somthing not that smart. if you were to say anything that I would like would be to finish the italian airforce
Get the italian airforce!!!:furious
-
Hi Bosco,
Bringing the Italian Reggia Aeronautica or the Italian fleet back would be even less smarter...
Remember Taranto?:rofl
Just kidding! I'm all for having all countries aircraft, tank, artillery and ships represented, from the Spanish Civil War until 1945.
Italians, Soviets and French models would be very wellcome, as some key German, British and American models, waiting for so long to make their appearance ...
But it will take only 2 weeks and, yes, bring the Brewster and the Judy!
-
We had a BB once, not sure what became of it. Cruisers are a lot of fun though.
-
We never had a BB.
A Yamato class would be fun, give the Japanese a BB task group. Yes, Iowa is better, but Yamato is imptressive too.
-
no your wrong sparrow we have a whole fleet of aircraft and ships that can shoot down any aricraft if your good enough. We have only 2 just 2 italian aircraft. I know that the G-55 would be a great asset to this game because it could match the pony dweebs on speed and out hang with the spitsixteen like I am. we need more air tropper type aircraft, thats were the Siai Marchetti SM.81 would come in, it could drop more troops and has a has as many guns as a B-17 so we could save some troops and my favorite Italian airplane of all, or the most beautiful airplane of allthe Reggiane RE.2005 was just behind the G-55.
so you see we do need the Italian airforce [/I]
-
Yes, we need the Italian Air Force badly....to fill all that empty space in
rear of the hangar :D
Btw, which B-17 variant had less than 6 7.7mm mgs??

Kenny,
Have you already reached letter "c"? Look for "constructive criticism".
"Argumentative speech" is a tad more demanding but I believe in your abilities.
Thank you for reading.
Cheers,
P.S.: Yes, I ROTFLOL too, when I read it.

I got a PNG for that! :D Oh, wait a minute!:noid

we need the tanks too for high speed reverse gears;)

im all for a battleship and the Savoia Marchetti S.M. 81 but the JU52 would perhaps be better as it was used on more fronts, and alot more of them were used.

The only reason why the JU-52 is used more was it was more produced and was Hitlers personal aircraft. I think, out of speculation, that the italinas made thier airplanes like they were about to go to a modeling contest. Slow and better built, were italian airplanes, like the G-55 only 105 were acually built and flown in WW2
-
I think it was produced in more numbers due to lower cost, ease of production and because the germans simply needed alot more of them than the italians needed the 81
-
Yes the Germans had more money than the Italians did, but as I said the S.M was more structurally sound than the JU-52. Don't get me wrong if we had the JU-52 as a vote and not the S.M then I would vote for it, here are the two reasons why I want the S.M:
1. We have pleanty German airplans and two italian airplanes
2. more structurally sound
-
NO Battleships in AH 2. We already have a cruiser that in the right hands can decimate a base from a decent distance. Adding a Battleship would only increase the range someone could decimate a field or town from. Plus if you add the Battleship, the cruiser becomes less important of a target.
Also the person who sinks the BB (which would need to have alot of gunner slots) would get reported to death by those spiteful people who cant stand that you took your Lancaster or B24 and successfully used it to dive bomb their ship out of the water.
Add in the Italian transport though. We only have 1 transport plane and 2 Italian planes.

If I remember correctly(and this doesn't happen very often), but I beleive the Yamato had the largest naval guns on it of the entire war.
Oh, and correct me if I'm wrong. :D
-
Yamamoto had bigger guns but Iowa had better accuracy (and big guns too)
-
IJN boats so we can put those 25s to good use. :)
