Title: Biplanes
Post by: oakranger on September 01, 2009, 01:54:36 AM
Hitech, you guys have really came a long way in developing AHII with all sorts of neat toys. How about looking into one area of air craft that is often over shadow over high performance air crafts.  Lets see some Biplanes in development.  There are a few that has done its part in the war, even though they where small roles, only one gain the most recognized for sinking the most deadest German battleship Bismarck. 
Here are other that see action too:

Japan D1A "SUSIE" dive bomber
British Swordfish Mk II
British Fairey Albacore
Italian CR.42 (Served in Belgium AF and was in the Battle of Britain)
British Gladiator Mk I (Served in Finland AF on Axis side, Norway AF, and Portugla AF)
Germany Hs 123A-1 dive bomber
Russian Polikarpov I-15/I-153

I would almost rather see them build a WWI arena with the planes from back then :salute

Both have their place actually.

A fully stocked early war planeset certainly wouldn't hurt.

Fairy Swordfish and Battle are both planes I'd love to fly.
Actually looks like a pretty good list IMO.

+1 and  :aok.

BTW, was the Tirpitz ever sunk? I know for a fact that it was a Bismark class battleship, and identicle or near enough to the Bismark. British even pulled a raid, with a destroyer againts the only dry dock in the Atlantic large enough to service her, crashing it in to the dock, then setting timed charges on the destroyer.

Would almost certainly bring a whole new crowd of people into the game. Its a win win. Good for us, and very good for $HTC$.

Tirpitz was a sister ship to the bismarck and was sank by a Tallboy bomb from a Lancaster.

Thumbs up for the German 123 the I-15 and the Swordfish, but I heard that AH isn't putting new planes in for a while. Can't say I blame them.

Really, i guess Hitech exhausted his staff with the new terrain designed.  Well, all they can do now is show up in the arenas and get the butts kicked.  :D

I want to say your probably wrong, im willing to bet they actually have more stuff coming out(i think would mainly be remodels of the older aircraft) but have had to hold off while they figure out the kinks in the new terrain which they are doing a great job, 60 frames all times on an average computer  :rock wtg HTC

JunkyLL  , do you ever walk along the border for North Korea and South Korea.  And do you have the dare to take a tinkle through the fence on North Korea ground?

I would throw in the PZL P.11 used by Poland and Romania and the export version the PZL P.24 used by Greece, Romania, and Bulgaria.

While both are technically a gull wing monoplane I think they would fit in with the biplanes you have listed.

I wasn't sure if the PZL P.11 or PZL P.24 would be useful on AH.  But then, i like to see diversity on AH.

Well it would be in Special Events.

You have the invasion of Poland, Italian Greek War (CR.42s and vs PZL P.24), and then maybe some Eastern Front early stuff. I know Bulgaria never went to war versus Russia but not sure if the Romanian PZL P.24s were involved in the invasion of Russia or not.

Very early war stuff, as said, the British used a lot of Gladiators (Norway, Crete, Greece, Ethiopia, Iraq, etc.), Italians had CR.42s (Greece, North Africa, Ethiopia), PZL P.11/ PZL P.24 (Poland and Greece), I-15/I-153 (Russia). I think that rounds out the early war biplane and transitional fighters (high wing monoplanes) that were in use for 1939 - 1941.
