PBY has been discussed thousands of times and I don't think were getting it any time soon.
The King Tiger was also discussed but since I don't GV I have no idea what was the result. Might want to try searching for it.
+1 on the Battleships
What's a torp cam?
HTC does not make the Skins, you can submit a request to the Custom Sounds and Skins section or try to make it your self.

you know the 2 torps from a ju88 will not sink a cv... the two torps from a pby would. 3200lb damage per ju88 torp verse 4000lb damage from pby torp.
so u dont need a formation to sink a cv and the pby torp has longer range so it can stay out of 40mm guns reach.
+1 +1 = PBY

For all of you who want the PBY because of it's torpedoes:
How many times have you sunk a CV with a torpedo?
What is the percentage of your time spend in AH with a torpedo hunting a CV?
Don't get me wrong I'm all for having a PBY, for ones we'll have something easier than a C-47 to shoot down. But there are so many more things that take priority over a hangar queen.
-
How many times have you sunk a CV with a torpedo?
Damage under the waterline is doubles, therefore one of the 2k torps a PBY carries does 4k damage on the CV.

Roger...
I never said it's impossible, I just asked how many times you've done it.

Then the same would be the same for the TBM.

wasn't the explosive used in the german aerial torpedoes more potent than the tnt that was used in the u.s. aerial torpedoes?
*edit* i guess it depends on which model of torpedo is being used in ah...mark13 mod (?) for the u.s. and f5b 1600 or 1800 lbs (?) for germany...type 91 mod (?) for the japanese.

Hehe I found a PBY for sale in Illinois. It's been upgraded with 1700 hp engines. I want that one in the game! :x
And it is only 299,000$ :bolt:

o it is true sir...but tbm carries one torp while the hot n sexy manifistation of a goddess called the PBY carries 2 torps. capable of delivering 8000lb damage. and no other torp plane can do that kinda damage. it may be slower then others but its dual MADE IN THE USA torps make up for it in spades.

Problem solved! Get that one and you'll have no need for AH.

how did the damage go from 4000 to 8000 lbs damage with the same plane and same payload? :headscratch: you should study more...

ok ill im only going to explain this once
1 U.S. torp is 2000lb...ok
torps do 2x damage
hence 1 U.S. torp does 4000 damage
2000 x 2 = 4000
ok if your still with me this is going to blow your mind
the PBY can carry 2 U.S. torp
2 U.S. torps can do 8000 damage
that is 4000 damage + 4000 damage = 8000 damage and one cv sunk
:banana: u should work on reading comprehension and some simple math...j/k

And a PBY dropped torps at a carrier fleet when?
Find a good reason for a slow cumbersome patrol plane in AH and I'm all for the PBY. Until then, I'm hard pressed to see the point.

The night of June 3, 1942 during the Battle of Midway. Four amphibious PBYs were dispatched to attack was what thought to be the main fleet made up of cruisers, destroyers, transports and at least one aircraft carrier. The lead PBY dropped his torpedoes on what the pilot thought to be an aircraft carrier but actually turned out to be the large transport ship Akebono Maru, which was hit but not sunk.

Devestators, B17s, and SBDs later came. B17s did nothing to the enemy fleet.

my reading comprehension is fine...the error was attributing bangsbox's comments to you. :neener:

neither did pby's in the grand scheme of things...damage to a single tanker that continued with the rest of the transport fleet...meh
you know why the pby's did a majority of their attacks at night right? they were too slow to risk in daylight.

Too bad we don't have a statistical reliability model for those torps, for the early-war us torps were ker-rap and frequently did not detonate.

no...

Torpedoes (Air Attack)
by Rolex
torpedo damage is double ordnance weight to account for damage under the water line.
One slow torpedo does 4,000 lbs. of damage.
One fast torpedo does 3,520 lbs. of damage.
Sinking cruisers and destroyers requires 2,000 lbs. of damage, so one torpedo of any type will sink an undamaged cruiser or destroyer.
Sinking a CV requires 8,000 lbs., so two slow torpedoes will sink an undamaged CV. Three fast torpedoes will sink an undamaged CV.
-

The B-17s did not come later. The B-17s attacked the Japanese ships on the day of June 3rd, the same group of ships that were misidentified earlier as the main fleet.

double check that. ive sank CVs with two :aok

it had damage on it then before you torped it
only 2 U.S. torps can sink a undamaged CV
it takes 3 jap or german
this is as per the aces high help/training page
-
That AH page is woefully out of date. They have tweaked the CV damage a number of times, I believe.

In the day it would be like "what's that slow glint? It's not friendly." and Bang! The PBY pilot would be like :O.

CVs require 4,000lbs of damage. All other ships i believe require 1K. could be 2K but i remember taking out a CA with 6 HVARs once

that's just wrong

I could prob throw rocks at a CV and sink it. incidently.

king tigers saw alot more action...alot more then pershing. if anything IS1 should be added with king tiger

you point?
the pershing saw enough action to qualify to be in the game.
it was a medium tank made with the specific purpose of engaging heavies.
if i remember correctly, there was a famous showdown between a super pershing vs king tiger. (one of the tank guys prob know what im talking about)
king tiger got the first shot in, but the pershing ended up winning the shoot out.
im still wanting my 105mm sherman tho. :pray

i torp all the time and for the first time ever i recorded it/ lived and it hit when i remembered to record it :cool:
