Title: Stuff to add
Post by: brastinson on November 28, 2008, 08:33:57 PM
This is some stuff I think should be add to the game:

 Gloster meteor

 pby/pbm

 tbd devastators

 Float planes from cruisers

 helldiver

 ship control

 lcvp, lst, etc...

 troops more realistic that accomplish more

 building airfields on islands

 b29

 half track with 75 mm

 british, japanese: vehicles, tanks armored cars...

 duece and half

 escort carriers

 be able to control a unit like a squad of men or tanks or something like that

 destructable terrain



 more ideas later as they come to me

This is some stuff I think should be add to the game:

 Gloster meteor Did not see combat. No chance.

 pby/pbm Been asked for...

 tbd devastators

 Float planes from cruisers Yes, but why?!

 helldiver

 ship control Already have it.

 lcvp, lst, etc...

 troops more realistic that accomplish more Seconded.

 building airfields on islands We have that.

 b29 IN

 half track with 75 mm Possibly....

 british, japanese: vehicles, tanks armored cars... Been asking for those for a long time now.

 duece and half If I recall, it wasn't around yet.

 escort carriers No need.

 be able to control a unit like a squad of men or tanks or something like that Go get a REAL RTS.

 destructable terrain Far too difficult to impliment.



 more ideas later as they come to me What, no He-111?

Who said that the Meteor didn't enter service?

Meteor Mk.III's were able to fight over the European mainland on jabo missions.

I meant, did not see significant combat in time to have a significant effect. Though the 262 didn't have much an effect either, it DID see VERY significant combat. The Meteor did neither. Ask most of the other members. It really doesn't belong in AHII.

This is some stuff I think should be add to the game:

 Gloster meteor

 pby/pbm

 tbd devastators<---wouldn't be used

 Float planes from cruisers<---THAT would be neat, like Rufes, PBYs, ets

 helldiver<---would be awesome but wouldn't be used

 ship control<---we have it, take command of a CV

 lcvp, lst, etc...<--wouldn't be used

 troops more realistic that accomplish more<---more realistic troops would be cool but infantry isn't the main key of the game

 building airfields on islands<---how would that work?

 b29<----*squeek* NOOOK *squeak* hopefully someday

 half track with 75 mm<---ya!

 british, japanese: vehicles, tanks armored cars...<---totally agree, I'd like to see an Achilles or something like that

 duece and half<---you mean like a poop?

 escort carriers<---task groups would be overpowered

 be able to control a unit like a squad of men or tanks or something like that<---erm?

 destructable terrain<---too hard to model (I think)



 more ideas later as they come to me


That's my opinion, all good ideas but some un-necessary

The TBD and the TBM are essentially the same aircraft, just manufactured by a different company.

You're thinking of the TBF and TBM versions of the AVENGER. The TBF was made by Grumman - the TBM was was made by the Eastern Aircraft Division of General Motors. As you said though - still basicly the same aircraft.

The Douglas TBD DEVASTATOR was a completely a different bird and was the aircraft that the Avenger replaced as the USN's main Torpedo Bomber.

This is some stuff I think should be add to the game:

 Gloster meteor    IN

 pby/pbm     maybe

 tbd devastators        2 weeks

 Float planes from cruisers          no point, they get blown out of sky/sea

 helldiver                 .

 ship control        already have it         

 lcvp, lst, etc...            lvt faster, more armor...

 troops more realistic that accomplish more    why not

 building airfields on islands              then why have stationary ones at all?

 b29                                     maybe a lot later, NEVER W/ NOOK

 half track with 75 mm             that'd be nice.....

 british, japanese: vehicles, tanks armored cars...   we have firefly (british) japan had only light ones built in small numbers, american should come first

 duece and half    what dat?

 escort carriers     nah

 be able to control a unit like a squad of men or tanks or something like that  just have a mission instead

 destructable terrain        would be nice to be able to through a hedge in a tiger but too hard to add



 more ideas later as they come to me     uhoh

The Devastator should never make it in game haha, it was obsolete before WW2 even started

As far as I know for game inclusion criteria are as follows.
1.ww2 AC   =   no F86 for joo.
2.Squadron service lvls  =   no xplanes/testbeds/field mods.
3.Combat did shoot at something or was it shot at. self explanatory
The meteor fits this criteria.

 Gloster meteor   Me 262-1 worst enemy...

 pby/pbm

 tbd devastators

 Float planes from cruisers    more likely in docks

 helldiver

 ship control     Another topic I did

 lcvp, lst, etc...   maybe

 troops more realistic that accomplish more     ANOTHER TOPIC I DID, but IN

 building airfields on islands    Have
 
 b29   I`m Against

 half track with 75 mm  IN

 british, japanese: vehicles, tanks armored cars...

 duece and half

 escort carriers    ummm...

 be able to control a unit like a squad of men or tanks or something like that   Wat macerxgp said

Correct.  It was introduced in 1949.

Add one more.

4. It shot at an air target that could shoot back.

An Fi-103 (V-1 flying bomb) can't shoot back, so it doesn't count as an air target. The Meteor saw ONLY that and ground attack, and ONLY in the very last months of the war. Same reason we will never get the He-162 (also, the volksjager never did see widespread service, less even than the Meteor).


And do we REALLY need another uuber-ride? And one that's not even that good to begin with? The Mk.I was an abysmal jet, as far as jet's go. The Mk.III entered service within the last six moths of the war IIRC, and only saw service (and not much at that) as a ground attack jet.

Not a criteria for adding.



If you don't think shooting down a flying bomb was dangerous..I suggest you look up dangerous in a dictionary.

I didn't say it wasn't dangerous. It was one of the most dangerous things you can do. But really, the Meteor just doesn't belong in the game.

And before you use the Wirble/Ostwind argument, those were added to fill a SPECIFIC AND NECESSARY ROLE in the gv set. The Meteor does not fill any useful role in the planeset, and would not bring any advantages to the game by having it.

The only reason we would EVER need the Meteor is if we somehow got V-1's and everyone was whining for something fast enough to catch them without risking their precious perkies on a 262.

Post by: Bronk on November 29, 2008, 07:02:43 PM
Let me clarify.
I don't think it should be high on the priority list. I do think at some point it should be added.

It fits the criteria, therefore it should be added way on down the line. 
Title: Re: Stuff to add
Post by: macerxgp on November 29, 2008, 07:33:35 PM
I agree it could be added, and if it were to be it would be far in the future, but I'm skeptical about a fighter that never saw air-to-air combat getting into the game.

 escort carriers

 be able to control a unit like a squad of men or tanks or something like that

 Katyusha rocket trucks

 Amphibious german tanks, yes they used them

 Maybe Gliders

 m18

 dd tanks

 stuart tank

 dukw

 tall boy bombs

 p61 black widow

 barracuda

 swordfish, yeah it was kinda old and stuff but it still kicked the bismarcks bellybutton

 fw 200

 light tanks
 
 a lot of these ideas are just for the heck of it to, in my opinion make the game more fun because unless I am mistaken that is a purpose of any game.

Katyushas would be awesome :aok.
Other than that, no comment, really, except for the Fw200; it was a maritime patrol aircraft, not a heavy bomber. It was bigger, slower, and carried a smaller bombload (IIRC) than the Ju88.

Gloster meteor: No, just.. No.

 pby/pbm I actaully think so.

 tbd devastators Yep

 Float planes from cruisers I would like water first, but even then i'd probably say no.

 helldiver meh

 ship control Direct ship control would be nice

 lcvp, lst, etc... sigh

 troops more realistic that accomplish more YESYESYES

 building airfields on islands You'd Have To Explain More

 b29 I Think I Just Shat My Pants

 half track with 75 mm Sure

 duece and half whosadiddawhat?

 escort carriers Nah

 be able to control a unit like a squad of men or tanks or something like that Hell to the no

This is some stuff I think should be add to the game:

 Gloster meteor - eh

 pby/pbm - scenarios

 tbd devastators Scenarios

 Float planes from cruisers  scenarios

 helldiver scenarios

 ship control trouble

 lcvp, lst, etc...

 troops more realistic that accomplish more like what?

 building airfields on islands  you want seabees?

 b29 hell would freeze over need more ealry way planes

 half track with 75 mm that would be cool

 british, japanese: vehicles, tanks armored cars... that would be cool

 duece and half

 escort carriers

 be able to control a unit like a squad of men or tanks or something like that

 destructable terrain that would be cool...but hard to model



 more ideas later as they come to me like the he 111?

Title: Re: Stuff to add
Post by: brastinson on November 30, 2008, 07:20:12 PM



Gloster meteor, yeah it didnt see a whole lot of action and no a2a combat but why does germany get the only jet just because it saw more time

 pby/pbm

 tbd devastators

 Float planes from cruisers

 helldiver

 ship control

 lcvp, lst, etc...

 troops more realistic that accomplish more, not all looking like pilots, moving on there own ,and have something more than a .45

 building airfields on islands, seabeas, to have a small fob or fall back position,

 b29, not for the nuke just on really large areas

 half track with 75 mm

 british, japanese: vehicles, tanks armored cars...

 CCKW                                                   

 escort carriers

 be able to

 destructable terrain, I mean like trees and stuff because it looks stupid when you drop a few thousand pounds of bombs and nothing happens to the trees plus it really sucks that you can't blow up or run over a tree standing in your way with a tank

 more ideas later as they come to me
 
 Katyusha rocket trucks

 Amphibious german tanks, yes they used them, ask the czechs and the soviets

 Maybe Gliders, so you can carry in a jeep and drive it to your destination

 bren gun carrier

 m12
 
 m26

 m18

 dd tanks

 stuart tank

 dukw

 beaufighter
 
 tall boy bombs

 p61 black widow

 barracuda

 swordfish, yeah it was kinda old and stuff but it still kicked the bismarcks bellybutton

 fw 200

 light and heavy tanks

 nates bettys more russian, etc....
 
 a lot of these ideas are just for the heck of it to, in my opinion make the game more fun because unless I am mistaken that is a purpose of any game.

Agreed, but would it really see as much tank-killing action as the B-25H?
