ok so my friend and i have this awsome idea and we hope all the people that play aceshigh will like this idea.
we were thinking it takes for ever to get from one place to a nother in a jeep or tank. so why not make a four engined plane that can carry five vehicals at a time. as well as field supplys and vehical supplies. also there is a bombay that you can open when you hit the o button and people can drive their tanks and jeeps in the bomb bay. well tell me what you think. and my friend and i hope that you guys down at high tech creations
accept our idea and make it a part of your game :). p.s. please support this idea. :) bye!

Uh no
-
more information on the plane you speak of or it never existed
-
No.
-
Do you mean the Me323? It'll have to wait 2 weeks like CT. :cool:
-
i know who your friend is 357359 hi it is me 357359 :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) this a good idea
-
Wow there were planes in world war 2 that could carry 5 tigers holy crap thats amazing.(dude they will only put real stuff in the game too bad there wasn't those kinds of planes I would be dieing for one)
-
are you one of them guys that drives cross country and doesnt use the vehicle "spawn points"
I remember one guy on the furball lake map driving LVTs constantly as far as he could across the lake and eventually getting killed everytime for hours!
-
Just use the spawn points and pretend some big imaginary plane flew you there.

The only aircraft even remotely capable of carrying a tank was the Messerschmitt 323 Gigant, and that was usually limited to a Panzer I/II type. It couldn't carry a Panzer III or IV, so that rules that out completely. Six engines, damn near impossible to fly, and if you think Goons are cannon-fodder, imagine something the size of a modern-day airliner lumbering along NOE at 120 knots.
If you want the ability to move large amounts of supplies, vehicles, etc., your only historically accurate option is a freighter or landing craft, LCT, LST, LCV, etc.
It's great that people are excited and come up with new ideas, but I think folks should research their requests thoroughly and suggest things that will fit into the parameters of the game, not just locally, but globally, and then formulate the need for a new type of vehicle. If there's something already in the game that can do the job, why replicate and reinvent the wheel? This involves either knowing WW2 military technology and history, or researching it.
Just my opinion...

No...

its a b29 super fortress. only if i knew how to post a picture id show you guys but i heard on the military channel it could carry 2 willy jeeps and 1 sherman farret tank and bombs.

the b29 super fortress
-

Correct me if I'm wrong, But it does exist just not common. Brits had gliders that even carried light tanks. And I'm sure the US/germans had it but it wasn't used too commonly...

OMG, my heads going to explode.

Nothing near this capacity ever existed.

No, it couldn't. The B29's carrying capacity was 20,000 lbs of ordinance. The Sherman weighed almost 67,000 pounds and 1 Willy's Jeep weighed 2,300 lbs.

Aces and Eights...
While I applaud your enthusiasm, don't try to convince me through PMs that a B-29 will carry 6 tanks.
B-29s were used as transports, carrying fuel tanks in their bombbays to supply the bombing B-29s in China with fuel before we took the Marianas, Tinian, and Saipan.
Please...don't rely on Wikipedia to make you a military historian. It's embarrassing. Chances are I had my Masters in military history before you were even born (1994).
We can do the mental Lufbery if you want to, but you're sorely outclassed my boy.

And the next time you want to send a PM with insults, I'll pass it on to the folks up above and we'll see what they say about your behavior.
See, if I were wrong, people here would be telling me that I'm wrong...but they're not, they're tell you, but you're not listening...
Grow up and leave the thinking to those of us who can do it without pulling a groin muscle.

give him a break it is a good idea
besides plenty of crazy stuff was going on during ww2 someone must have made plans for some thing like this

Not really.

Nope.

acctualy..(http://www.fortunecity.com/tattooine/farmer/120/megigant.jpg)
The Me 323 was a large German transport, that could possibley do this.
(http://www.fiddlersgreen.net/AC/aircraft/Messerschmitt-Me323/IMAGES-Me323/Me-323-doors.jpg) It could carry 130 troops or 12 tons of equipment. also armed with 18 7.92mm MG 81 Machine Guns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ME_323 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ME_323)

The most the Gigant could carry was a single light tank (Panzer I, II). No where near a Sherman and two Willy's Jeeps.
