Title: The Fritz X guided bomb
Post by: TALONS1 on February 21, 2010, 08:36:55 AM
I would like to see this bomb added to the game.  As far as I know this is a 3000 lb guided munition that sunk a couple of ships during WW2 and that the only plane that I know of carring this bomb is the Do 217. That is all the info that I have.  What do ya'll think :banana: :rock

I know what you are talking about it would be dropped and you adjust the fins to make it go left or right.  I like the idea.

We lack the plane at the moment. That might pose as a problem.  ;)

Way too much programming for way too little return to make this anything near a priority.  Sorry, but that is how I see it.

If we're gonna have manuverable bombs we may as well start with an Ohka...

Unless i am mistaken, JU-88s were also fitted with the Fritz-X. not totally sure though

Fritz was tested on Heinkel 111s and was slated for use with the He-177, but it was only used in combat on the Do-217.

However...while on the subject of Ju-88s, a Mistel might be fun*. We  have Ju-88s and we have 109F-4s and 190A-5s *(Note - I said fun, that's all).

Pilot the '88 into the target, when it explodes, you're spawned into the level-flying 109. Your 109 gets downed before you crash your 88, tough luck, you're dead.

how bout this in the ord package :). I believe it was used in the Mediterranean. "the Hs-293 became the only liquid-propellant missile, which saw action during World War II. Saw action in three types of German aircraft -- Dornier-217, Heinkel-177, and Focke-Wulf-200---were sent to sea at the end of 1943 and the beginning of 1944 to attack allied convoys with Hs-293. Each bomber could carry a single missile below the fuselage, plus regular bombs in internal bays."
We need the Do 217 :D
The Henschel Hs 293 Anti-Ship Missile.  :cool:
tested on the 111

"start with an Ohka..."

Or end with a perked Ohka. It was a piloted suicide bomb so when you kamikaze with it you're
unable to log back on for 2 weeks. The Friz and the the American TSC VB-1/VB-2 Azon and
VB-3/VB-4 Razon guided bombs predate it by years. But I'd much rather have the American
BAT as it was more advanced.

Course that means we'd need a PB4Y-2 now, wouldn't it?  :aok

Did they hire a new programmer? Your talking like your already part of the dev team. Could you give me an inside scoop as to how long something like this would take in approx man hours? Thanks in advance.
