Title: Stukas?
Post by: Mettius on July 11, 2001, 03:36:00 PM

Are we going to see the Stuka in AH?

I hope to see a B and one of the G's modeled.
After moving over here from AW, I admit my miss my Stuka!  :)

Hmm in MA Stuka would survive like a snowman in Sahara...
Thought it sure is a cool plane but my guess is its usage in MA would be uhmm... "limited".
Only thing why it was used was its accuracy but in game when level-bombers can hit a barrel from 30000ft and carry +20 bombs...
G-Model would be nice against tanks thought I would rather see Henschels "can opener".

I think a stuka would be a great idea!

It would be realy nice indeed. But it's application would be like the IL-2. Only for historical scenarios.

I doubt you can survive in a stuka when you are bounced by fighters.

I want the stuka, all versions that made a difference.

How about Stukas that can haul DS-240A and B Gliders, It would be awesome to see a Glider unit in this game.

Feel free to join my fighter. Most likely than not you will be seeing a "glider unit"   :D

Cheers,

YESS! Bring on the Stuka - I'd love to 90 degree-verticalscreamer-sirens-on-divebomb the crap outta M16s.  Of course the automatic pullout system needs to be modelled and the see-through window in the floor so I can see him blow up.   :)

And sirens - LOUD SIRENS: The sirens should make the poor m16-drivers computer speakers fall off his desktop and make his wife file for divorce.    :D

Never tried another online sim before, so I have no clue how it has been modelled before.  I just know I want it badly.  And I don't care about "survivability" in the MA - nothing really survives there anyway.

I agree, it'd be critical for many popular scenarios (BoB, Kursk, etc) but even in the MA I'd be in it every day. I just love the plane. It would be nice to see (as someone mentioned above) wind effects on eggs dropped from high alt. Thus making a percision divebomber a desireable weapon for certian situations.

"The ack must be taken down... Send in the Stukas!" Ahh visions of glory...
  :D

Yep. There is no need for dive bombing since level bombing is actually more accurate  :(

1. I don't care about survivability - it is not a matter that count for any new plane introduced - I will not like to end up in fediddleing Korea flying Sabres!!!
2. I do not fly planes based on what is "needed" accomplished in MA - I wanna divebomb!!!  Divebomb, I say!!!!  And I'll PAY to divebomb!!  :D

I dunno I like the idea of HO-ing someone in the G model Stuka and then listening to the whine session on Chl-1 afterwards.  :D

G probably should have AP/HE ammo.

We need somethin in AH to encourage dive bomber usage...  perhaps Larger blast radius bombs, and some inaccuracy added.

Soulyss, for me is the best HO plane the Il-2. Very deadly  ;) but noone will HO with ya  
 :p
The next to the "Flying Tank" is the Yak9T with his 37mm Cannon. What a plane...

IN WB I was often flying the Stuka. The great prob there is that you couldn't turn the damn Siren off! Very annoying.
Hopefully, one Day when the Stuka realy make his way in AH, HTC make a little knob on the Panel to turn that thing off.  ;)
