Title: JU88 with Guided Bomb
Post by: SpitLead on July 20, 2001, 06:04:00 PM

I think HTC should add a hanger loadout option to add a remotely piloted ME109 or FW190 loaded with explosives which can be released and guided to the target.  It would be equivalent to say a 4-5K bomb.  The Germans had several flying examples and tested this configuration.  Several of these could take out an HQ or attack a CV.  Would be kinda cool.  Get to 20k, and launch the guided bomb into the target   :D

Uhmm The Ju-88 was the one with loads of TNT.
Combination was known as "Mistel" or Beethoven.

So do the Allies get Project "Aphrodite" in return?  :D

Mistel (sp?), radio controlled B17's and the rocket propelled Bakka bomb! I'm for them!

 Maybe have it so the "ticket to ride" cost is 500 perks (not lost if you disco from the game) to even get one. For the Bakka bomb when you detonate you also lose ALL of your perks points.  It's about the only way to prevent thier abuse and with the loss of ALL perk points with the Bakka it semi-replicates "death"  :)

Like Staga says, the Ju-88 was the bomb.

It was used several times - 'Jonnie' Johnson describes such an attack in his book, 'Wing Leader'.

OOhhh, yes.
Gimme these fat, slow undefended targets to practise my shooting skills.  ;)

If we want some of the screwed german inventions, give me the HE 162 or the ME163.
They would make the difference.
