Title: Big WTG on the TBM!!
Post by: Westy on December 20, 2000, 05:06:00 PM

 This just may be the best job done with an AH aircraft to date. The cowl modelling escpecially has come along way. Over all it looks very surreal. Top notch guys (and gals) at HTC.

Looks nice...but...

I read the interview with Pyro...when they ask him about torpedoes he mentions the Avenger...

But not the Ju88  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif)

Keep in mind those are US torpedos RAM. The PT with the roll-off rack used the US airial torp, so those are one in the same. Maybe we'll get a German torp soon  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

Yeah, you wouldn't want those crappy US torps anyway...  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

 I'm hoping the JU-88 does have "torp-ability"  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Judging from the last year of releases we never know what surprises we're likely to get till we run the new version.
 I'm hoping.....

Im sure this comes as no suprise to anyone...but how bout the wellington?  It was the wtg as far as delivering torps in North Africa.  This even though it was a big slow, undergunned piece of garbage.  Imo the wellington would be a great addition to the bomber line-up

Seeing how the most ask for the BEST, the standard torp should be japanese.
Long Lances all round I'd say....

Why not?

If they model the Avenger in George Bush markings they have to model the ability to swim in AH.  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Yeah! Bush markings... it'd be a karmic reward just to blow 'em to pieces! =) =)

Honestly, I think HTC should take a week just to do various variants on existing planes. I'd love to see night fighter versions of current fighters, ju-88 fighter + ju88 torpedo versions...

Would enchance the game considerably with an albeit minor effort =)

We were originally going to do Bush's markings, but he flew a different model of the TBM (C model) than the one AH uses.
