Title: In The Navy!!!
Post by: rpm on February 19, 2008, 08:45:54 AM
We need more naval stuff like an LST and a PBY.

LST I could see (a cool invasion of troops to defend against on a coastal base), but a PBY?

What would you use a PBY for....other then target practice?

Why didn't anyone request the B-29 yet?




:D

Why is it people always tell others to use the search function?  If it was something like the B-29, then sure.  But lobbying for your craft in more than one thread is fine, it just shows a solid amount of people want it, imo.

You could always post, "I agree." Or, "I would also enjoy seeing this feature come to Aces High." In the post you found to increase the number of people supporting the requested aircraft.

So once one post has been made about each subject, they just continually post in that one for eternity?  How boring is that?!

Its a lose-lose situation, Create a new thread about it, and get "OMG use teh search feature!!11" or bump an already created thread and get pwned by Skuzzy.

:D

Whats ironic is the fact people are told to search, have something to say, then get yelled at by the very same people who told them to search before bumping a old thread.

And if they restart a new one based on a old subject, the very same people will come in and POST links to the old thread.



Just because you have been around sence 99' doesnt mean people should not be able to debate and talk about *old* subjects.
and should instead have to read opinions wish/wants that are dating as far as 5 years back or more.

dont you need a minimum of 4 letters to search
Title: In The Navy!!!
Post by: Denholm on February 20, 2008, 01:11:48 PM
Yes. Doesn't mean the 3 lettered plane doesn't have a name. Such as "Catalina".

Post by: ridley1 on February 20, 2008, 05:22:17 PM
If we're going to bring in naval patrol aircraft....I'd rather see the short Sunderland than a catalina.

It was nicknamed the "flying porcupine"  at least able to defend yourself if your only going about 200mph

Navy stuff...

How about TF38 from, oh, November 1944?  Of course this would have to be a perked task group...15 decks and horizon to horizon with floating guns.  Even the Knights should be able to take a poorly defended coastal base with that.

Maybe.

Nah...

The PBY's just a really cool plane.  Enough said  :D

As someone posted HERE (http://forums.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=226012&highlight=recon) , there are some (future) purposes for it.

Also, posting for a new idea just keeps it on people's minds.  Why not?

I'm sorry Denholm. Forgive me for looking the forum name and thinking this would be the place to lobby for additions to the game.

What was I thinking?

I did'nt know this forum had special rules and mp's.

Why? Most huckleberries use the CV as an LST already! :mad:

But the PBY was a reconnaissance/patrol aircraft.

This game isn't expansive enough to require recons.  One lanc with a full tank of fuel will give you an "eye in the sky" for 2 hours

Heard about some people wanting a new naval formation. How about this, a bombardment group. Not able to launch lvts or planes but would be able to level any base,port or town real quick. Formation centered on a battleship like a North Carolina class and 2 heavy cruisers, Baltimore class ringed by 6 Fletcher class destroyers(mostly for AA).(http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj240/bigjohn1967/bombardmentgrp.jpg)
Also the destroyers currently in the game, what are they modeled after? Most WW2 destroyers had a torpedo mount on them. Would be interesting to be in a CV group on CV group battle with torps running all over the place.

ridley, point taken, but a lancaster just isn't a PBY Catalina :)

the PBY is just too cool!!  :D :D

But seriously, I think it would be an excellent addition with the recon package that I posted a link to in my previous post in this thread.

They actually could carry 2 torpedoes on their wings (from what I've heard)

If there's an arguement for a PBY, I'd rather see a Short Sunderland.

4 engined flying boat.  Coastal Command patrol aircraft...enough defensive armament to get it the nickname "flying porcupine"

No offense here Denholm or anyone who suggests this, why don't you use the search feature and post the link(s), if you are familiar with them, and that will settle the issue. Help a brotha or sista out!  :)
