we should try to get this aircraft. the lisunov Li-2. a transport that can defend itself.
1-20mm Shvak cannon (100 rds) nose.
2-12.7mm USBS machine guns 250rds per gun

Awesome idea. Looks like it won't require coding for a whole new plane either.
-
:aok
-
hopefully we can get support for this plane. a goon that scares fighter pilots. :D
-
good idea, should perk it.
-
goons need to be in transpotrt class on this game when they add them
-
Very good idea, a small perk price would go well with it.

the only fighter you might scare is the RV8 :D

:aok :aok (two thumbs up :D )

This would be neat, a DC3 that can defend itself. :D
-
would be nice to have another aircraft variant for runninng troops and supplies. :rock

If I remember correctly I believe we have the bubble on top of the goon already. Please let us have this. Would not hurt to have them guns to get that last town building down either.

afaik, Li-2 never had Shvak or 2 UBs, real armament was 4 7.62mm SHKAS (one per nose, top and both sides; top SHKAS was replaced with 12.7mm UBT later). Some number had top 12.7mm UBT only.

click on the link. it shows the armament that i listed.

click on the link. it shows the armament that i listed.
Specifications on linked page are incorrect at least.

I can create a website where is listed that Spitfire had 6 x 40mm cannons. Then we can ask it for AH. :D

Here is a brief history of the LI-2..

The bubble on top of the goon is not for a gun turret. That is for the navigator to take sun/star shots with a sextant to plot the planes location. Same as the bubble in front of the cockpit on the B-17, B-24, and most other large aircraft that had a navigator and flew long range missions.
Back to the topic of this thread though, yeah I'd like to see the Russian goon with the gun turret.
-
Finally a worthwhile wish. :aok
-

Perk it? Why? because it can defend itself? No way! Let it fire at you! Be more fun!
-

Again, you'd never see a normal Goon again. Unless the russian one was slower? Still, most people in-game would trade 10 or 20mph for a small amount of armament.
-
but im gonna use the same argument I always use when this comes up. The spit 1 is hardly ever/ Never seen in the MA, so should this mean that all other Spitfires should be perked? Same with Hurri's etc. Just because a regular goon will 'Never be seen' doesnt men we have to perk the alternative. If the Ju52 comes, will that get perked?
-
No, because it's terribly slow and has a pathetic armament. The Li-2's is actually pretty nice.
-
Think about it this way, cargo pilots will grow a bigger pair and try to fly into places that they know they shouldn't. This will also force the trade off between sound flight and defending.. I think it would be a matter of "why bother?" and "Hell Yeah!" for the rest of us..
-
the only fighter you might scare is the RV8 :D
no no put the old 2 gun it had it OWN.
-
Careful though, some of these sites arent completely accurate. :salute

:rock :rock :rock :rock

like 10 perks becuase you get like that much back from a base so 10 perkies on it :aok
-

Then you need a perked armorer to load the guns without getting a hernia :D
-
I am for it..NO perks..Geeze,everytime someone comes up with something cool,everyone says lets perk IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...ITS A goon...WITH A FEW GUNS...will still die easily...unless some fighter pilot is fearful he cant go up against a goon with a gun... :noid

While not armed, it is much faster and could carry much more cargo.
-
im just gonna do this -----> :aok :rock :salute :D
so there is one more reply and mb htc will notice this thread and we'll get the plane.
-
Whats wrong with perking it? At least then there might be something to spend bomber perks on. It's not like most people in AH don't have several hundred bomber perks built up to blow on em lol. I would pay for it at least. :D
-
:aok A yes from me
-
OK,OK..perk it then if it makes you feel better..maybe a 5ver or so..BUT leave it the SAME eny AS THE ORIGINAL goon so they can be upped at ANYTIME...
Falcon23 :salute
-
Along those same lines, how about the JU52 (http://www.military-aircraft.org.uk/transport-aircraft/junkers-ju-52.htm)? I'd settle for either plane, or a skin and cockpit upgrade of the C-47.
-
:aok for LI-2 :aok for Ju-52 ... adds variety, enhances game play.
-
:t
For the love of god, YES please add this. It would be a BOON to those of us who actually fly resupply and re-arm missions. Dont perk it highly, maybe only a 2 to 5 perk so that it would be a small loss if you dont make it.
Seriously, ADD more transport planes. And early war planes...
-
i go ian on this one :aok :aok it might work but i doubt it

This is a great idea, cool airplane.
Perhaps instead of perking it you get less perks when you capture the airfield.
usually you get like 11 or so. Drop it down to like 9.....just for the fact that you get to HO maurading nikkies and LA las w/ a cannon.
I just said perk alot.
-
Ju-52 first :aok
-
wow so many people are saying yes to this and no one is saying no...
maybe HTC should listen, instead of posting a "wishlist" forum for no reason.

what?

Shameless bump, we can't let this one get buried
-
If this is created, I don’t think it should be perked. Many newbie’s take a goon up to capture a base when they are lacking fighter skills.
While I'm at it, a few smaller caliber fixed ground guns around an airfield, town, or remote hilltop would lend itself to more realism when flying NOE and getting hit with surprise pings!!!!

Ju-52 first :aok
quit hijacking...
This is a nice idea, again ttt for it's a good in-game addition... the only thing I see bad is it will definitely make the c-47 a hanger queen unless perked.

due to the slow nature of the goon, it would be suicide to deack with it. i its good against some gvs and to take down buildings.
-
wow look at all the positive responses. i hope we get this plane
-
I think this would be AWESOME AS WELL!!!
I think it should be perked. GIVE US SOMETHING TO DO WITH THOSE BOMBER PERKIES AND REASONS TO GET THEM!! :lol
I agree with the idea that newbies run goons ALOT, but if you perk this it will stretch them into learning other aircraft faster in order to get the perks to run it.
Along that line, hopefully it could defend itself but GOOD too!! Like maybe it could carry TWO gunners and a pilot! IE Two people could join the goon for gunnery. Think of how much more fun base taking could be with multiple self defended goons.
Oh ya gotta happen!!!
This guy was REALLY on the ball on this idea!
WAY TO GO BRO!!!
-
Muy Interesante
...to say the least!
-
:aok :aok
-
lets keep this mail alive so we can get this goon.
-
bring it on as a perk ride.....
gotta spend my bomber perks on something.
At risk of a hijack...maybe this could be incorporated in a perk ordinance system?
-
i mean then when i ask for a gunner in my goon they can do somen other then get the troops drunk lol :rofl :O :huh :aok
-
woo hoo. keep it coming. we need this plane
-
lets keep the russian goon alive
-
Sure...
-
Ya, the more I think on this one the more I like it!
-
thanks guys
-
shameless bump
-
Hmm... Rule 13? :huh
I know about rule 6 :noid
-
Im gunna rename this thing the wooddonut, cuz now i have something to peck at them.

I'm fairly certain HTC has already seen this thread. Please stop bumping it unless you were searching before requesting the same item. :aok
