why not add the PBY seaplane that plane did do alot of work during the second world war.
-
Yea, they Carrie two torpedo's, bombs ect.
-
yes and if you guys put subs in the game it also caried depth charges haha :devil watch out japo subos and jerry u things :O, daddys got a new bomb :rock
-
search button is your friend
and its a PBY catalina...get a clue, you need it.
-
*slaps his forehead* i know that dude i just call it the PBY becuase catalina reminds me to much of my ex girlfriend :furious lol
-
*Gets the salt* Was her name, "Catarina?" :D
I think this wish will come later on when the game undergoes a massive update to include advanced types of scouting, a new water system which allows you to travel underwater, and new ships that are user-steered. CT rings a bell. :P
-
no her name was katy lol and YES SUBS uhuh uhuh :rofl i kill you with depth charges :rock
-
I've had a history with Katies. Two of them that fought over me, one in Offenbach, Germany (Next to Frankfurt). The other in Georgia. Both were convinced they would marry me, this at the age of four. :D
By the way, you didn't kill the sub, you killed the

now your going off topic jeez, anyways so the PBY Catalina SeaPlane will hopefuly be in the next update of the game?
And FYI She was cheating on me and she tried to say i was cheating on her and she tried to drop the BOMB first :furious lol
-
No, at this point the PBY won't be in the next update. But HTC is trying hard to find more time to devote in updating the game, which is a good sign.
-
hmm well idk who said that we needed older aircraft in the game but the catalina is pretty old i believe it was first built in the late 30s way early 40s and also they should really update the look of many of the aircrafts cockpits some of them do have updated ones but most of them dont and they kinda look dumb :O
-
No, at this point the PBY won't be in the next update.
HMMMMM... Somebody is either psychic or has an inside track. Come on Denholm, inquiring minds want to know!

Wait till it get around 50 pages then make your post.
-
Glock please let 50 pages go by before you post again and see how you like it.
Not that I mind your telling me I should let the PBY thing go because believe me there is plenty I could say to you but you constantly hijack threads and steer them off topic. You should know thats contrary to the rules and eventually it will catch up to you.
I am working on a PBY model right now and Im loving every minute of it! Airliners.net is a great place to find some sweet cockpit shots and details that are really hard to find elsewhere.

*Whisper*
*Pulls out knife*
What? I told you I had to kill you afterward. :t
-
lol anyways what about new cockpit designs and what will be the new aircraft in the next patch?
-
It has always been my hope that if ToD/CT ever comes out, there would be room for Maritime Patrol. I know that the utility of a MARPAT system would be limited in the 8th AF style that they intend to use as the backdrop for CT, however if and when (oh I can smell the pie-in-the-sky as we type!) CT moves to the Pacific, MARPAT could be a very important aspect giving one side or the other a decisive advantage in intelligence.
For anyone who wonders who on earth would find any joy in flying around over the vast ocean for hours on end, without the slightest desire for combat, I would point out that MicroSoft Flight Simulator offers the same thing without the witty banter. HTC Has always taken the point that CT would broaden (or at least alter) the fan base, and I think that this could be one (albeit small) means to that end.
In conclusion, here's the bit I posted the last time this came up (what? 2 weeks ago?)
from some aviation bbs somewhere, comes the following exchange of letters between a young aspiring aviator, and a wise old veteran. I'm sure this has been on the AH board before, and I'm sure it will be placed here again in the future.
Sir,
My name is DJ Baker and I would appreciate it if you could tell me
what It takes to be an F18 fighter pilot for the Navy. What classes
should I take in high school to help the career I want to pursue later in
my life? What could I do to get in the Naval Academy?
Sincerely,
DJ Baker
A worldly and jaded P-3 Pilot, LCDR Jay Beasley, rose to the task by
responding to DJ's letter...
Dear DJ,
Obviously, through no fault of your own, your young, impressionable
brain has been poisoned by the superfluous, hyped-up, "Top Gun" media
portrayal of fighter pilots. Unfortunately, this portrayal could not be
further from the truth. In my experience, I've found most fighter pilots
pompous, back-stabbing, momma's boys with inferiority complexes, as well
as being extremely overrated aeronautically.
However, rather than dash your budding dreams of becoming a USN pilot, I
offer the following alternative: What you REALLY want to aspire to is
the exciting, challenging, and rewarding world of Maritime Patrol. And
this, young DJ, means one thing....the venerable workhorse, THE P-3
Orion! I can guarantee no fighter pilot can brag that he has flown a
mining run at 300 ft above the water, at 300 knots, while trying to
calculate a means of justifying an emergency divert to Pattaya Beach,
Thailand, avoiding shipping, and yelling at the TACCO, all while eating
a box lunch, with the engineer in the back taking a piss and the
navigator puking in his trash can!
I tell you, DJ, Maritime Patrol is where it's at! Where else is it legal
to throw hazardous material out of the aircraft, and not even give a
crap what Greenpeace and the other tree huggers think! No where else can
you crawl in the back of the aircraft and take a nap because you are so
hung over that focusing your eyes takes to much effort! And talk about
exotic travel? When P-3's go somewhere, they GO somewhere (usually for 6
months, unfortunately). This gives you the opportunity to immerse
yourself in the local culture enough to give any natives a bad taste in
their mouths for the USN and Americans in general, not something those
jet jocks can do from their staterooms on a ship!
As far as recommendations for your course of study, I offer these: Take
a lot of math courses. You will need all the advanced math skills you
can muster to enable you to calculate per diem rates around the world,
and when trying to split up the crew's bar tab so that the copilot
really believes he owes 85% of the whole thing and the NAV believing he
owes the other 20%.
Health sciences are important, too. You will need a thorough knowledge
of biology to make those educated guesses of how much longer you can
drink beer before the tremendous case of the ****s catches up to you
from that meal you ate at that place that had the belly dancers in some
Godforsaken foreign country whose name you can't even pronounce!
Social studies are also beneficial. It is important for a good Patrol
Plane Commander (PPC) to have the cultural knowledge to be able to
ascertain the exact location of the nearest titty bar in any country in
the world. Then be able to persuade the local authorities to release the
RADAR operator, after he offends every sensibility of the local religion
and culture.
A foreign language is helpful, but not required. You will never be able
to pronounce the names of the NAVAIDs in Italy, and it's much easier to
ignore them and go where you want to anyway. As a rule of thumb: Waiters
and bellhops in France are always called "Pierre", in Spain it's "Hey,
Pedro", in Puerto Rico it's "Juan", and in Italy, of course, it's
"Mario." These terms of address also serve in other countries
interchangeably.
A study of geography is also paramount. You will need to know the basic
location of all the places you've been when you get back from your
deployment and are ready to stick those little pins in that huge world
map you've taped to your living room wall, right next to that gigantic
wooden giraffe statue and beer stein collection.
Well, DJ, I hope this little note inspires you. And by the way, forget
about that Naval Academy thing. All P-3 guy's know that there are waaay
too few women and too little alcohol there to provide a well-balanced
education. A nice, big state college would be a much better choice.

Sikboy... that is awesome. Thanks for sharing! :lol

That's how I see it, therefore my conclusion on why the PBY isn't here yet.
