Title: This has been requested since 1999
Post by: Krusty on August 31, 2007, 05:36:17 PM

Yep, ever since it was first introduced in 1999 folks have been asking for droptanks on the Macchis!

I just did some quick keyword searches and pulled up examples.

One of the earliest (right after C2 released!):

Another early DT request:

Another list requesting additions to what's there, C2 droptanks near the top of the thread:

Fuel multiplier thread, with a reminder question asking if C2 ever got its DTs:

One a bit after that asking for options on several planes, including DTs on C2s:

A thread from ME from over a year ago pointing out how both our C2s were made (from the factory) to take DTs:

And, of course, this thread!

It's been requested since day one, so can we get DTs for these planes, please?

Uhm, I wouldnt hold my breath for that, mate. AFAIK the drop tanks, from what we see in the pics, were field modifications made mostly in later stages of the war.

Same thing for a graphic rework of the two Macchi's. AH2 badly need it. Macchi's cockpits seem to belong to a 1999, or earlier, flight sim.
