Due to lack of cash I haven't been playing :-( but I have been watching BoB every weekend for the last FEW months. And was going to say the same thing... the 111 needs to come soon  :pray. I've always been for more early war aircraft. +1  :aok

SS Jagersfontein, a Dutch Mechant Ship in Honolulu Harbor allegedly opened fire on the Japanese Aircraft.

It would be like a goon charging a hoard.

The closest foreign flagged ship in the vicinity of Oahu on 12/7/1941 was the Dutch flagged merchantman, SS Jagersfontein.  SS Jagersfontein was not at Pearl though, it was docked at Honolulu Harbor.

I know that a lot of work is put into the game and aircraft we fly but after seeing some of the manoeuvre's pulled off in the arenas during game play I really wonder how much accuracy is compromised for game play. If I am wrong then let me know.  I would be happy to see almost any Soviet, German, or Italian bombers added.  Oh and why am I not surprised that much of replays to this thread have nothing to do with a semi intelligent discussion of the subject.

The axis have no heavy bomber, the allies have many.

That said, only historic scenarios will require "bomber balance" since true axis vs allies action is unbelievably rare here.

Is the "two week war" with a rolling planeset that much of a failure here?
Title: Re: New plane
Post by: Karnak on May 08, 2011, 12:51:14 PM
In historical settings is exactly where the Axis most certainly do not need a heavy bomber.  Why?  Because the Axis effectively never fielded a heavy bomber.

Title: Re: New plane
Post by: Karnak on May 08, 2011, 03:23:36 PM
They most certainly don't need a heavy bomber that might very well be better than any of the Allied heavy bombers in AH.  That isn't balance and it most certainly bears no resemblance to history where the Allies fielded literally tens of thousands of reliable, workhorse heavy bombers and the Axis fielded hundreds of unreliable semi-heavy bombers in dribs and drabs along with a few tens of a decent Italian heavy bomber.

And oh yeah, just over one hundred of a patrol flying boat that could be used, more or less, as a heavy bomber.

if you're talking germany, hitler did not believe there was a need for high altitude long range heavy bombers...he believed in the blitzkrieg offensive which focused on ground units with the luftwaffe providing nothing more than air cover and precision bombing...nothing like the roles of the b-17, b-24, lancaster and b-29.

just a guess but, do-17z, do-217, he-111 and ju-88 would be the most historically accurate lineup of german bombers.

"Most important bomber" of WWII can be argued pretty effectively for the B-24, B-29 and Lancaster as well, DemonFox.  The B-17 does not have an automatic win on that category.

Yes, we have all of those in AH as well.
Title: Re: New plane
Post by: DemonFox on May 09, 2011, 01:59:43 PM
 Fairly sure that if you as any aircraft historians they will say the B-17 is more important then any of those bomber. I respect you and what you say but I have to say that the B-17 is most important.
But that's beyond any point that I really care about because all I want is the PBY-5A  :bhead

I have to say that the B-17 is most important american bomber.

Fixed. It's close-minded to think the B-17 is the most important bomber of the war, when Halifaxes and Wellingtons made up the bulk of the allied bomber fleet for half the war. They still had Wellingtons flying in 1000-plane missions in 1944, as commented by at least 1 Luftwaffe pilot making note "many were the older types, Wellingtons and so forth" [paraphrase]

Also, the G4M betty may well be the most important, with its roles all over the CBI, the PTO, and anywhere the Japanese operated. Or you might say the Lancaster was the shining light for the RAF Bomber command, and was the iconic and quintessential bomber of the war. Or you might say the Ju-88 served in far greater capacity and in a far wider variety of roles and in greater levels of evolution than the B-17 ever did.

So please keep in mind the U.S.A. wasn't the only country in the war, and we only joined it halfway through.


P.S. Foget the blasted PBY. It's a POS with fabric covered wings and no redeeming values. It has no place in AH and no role in AH's gameplay.

these two should be definantly added


Halifax Bomber: numbers built 6175 aircraft from 1940 to 1945 and served with 7 airforces in the war. and they werent just bombers they were also transports for supplies, and agents and glider tugs.

Wellington Bomber: produced 1936–1945, Number built 11,464 served with 3 airforces and the fleet air arm


these two should be brought in.
 
Title: Re: New plane
Post by: Karnak on May 10, 2011, 12:12:37 AM
The thing that stands against the Halifax is the fact that in performance and capability the Lancaster is so extremely similar that the work needed to add a four engine bomber seems excessive.  The Lancaster -> Halifax substitution is about as close as can be had in WWII.


I do think we need a Wellington though, my preference being the Mk III.
