Title: Rework: SBD-5 and the AVENGER
Post by: USAFPilot on June 30, 2011, 06:44:46 AM
The SBD-5 and the Avenger should be reworked... They both are uglier than the ME-163 and the former C-47.

+1, but they will come in due time.

Not sure how the Me163 factored into the OP, but I disagree on the old C-47.  I am sure the TBM-3 and SBD-5, as well as the 30 or so other aircraft waiting to be updated, will be in due time.

I imagine we'll be seeing a screenshot of a update or new unit in the not too distant future.

I hope the F4F gets updated before the next scenario.

B26......The B26 REALLY needs a facelift as she's the oldest model now.

C.205 is plane 10, B-26B is plane 12.  :p

They are both Aces High v1.00 models though.

Hm AH2 was released on June 16, 2004. 

Looks like C205 will be updated sometime in year 2015.

Forgot about the 205. Oh well both planes were in the game in Beta 2 when I started playing back in 1999. So yeah both birds need a facelift badly.

+1 for the OP. :aok

+1 for the B-26 and C.202. :x

+1 for all planes that are not at 2048, to be updated to the 2048 standard. :D

Every thread regarding the old 3D models except this one apparently.

I remember reading that only Heavies (Maybe medium bombers) will have 2048. Fighters will stay at 1024

Mosquito Mk XVI and newer models have 2048 interiors.  Exteriors are 1024x1024.  Big planes like the B-29 or Lancaster when redone get two 1024x1024 maps for their exteriors.

Add rockets to the SBD when it's reworked.  They were carried and used in battle (was brought up @ a year ago in another SBD thread).  Also the hard points were capable of carrying larger bombs.

Caldera is very right on bombload.

The -5 variant of the SBD was capable of carrying a 1600 lb bomb on the center rack and one 325 lb under each wing.

That's almost enough to drop a hangar and just might result in the SBD-5 getting more use than it currently does.

Personally, I'd like to see both the SBD-5 and TBM-3 have their loadouts increased to match historical capabilities (as above and 8 HVAR's on the TBM instead of our current 6). From a gameplay perspective it would be slick to see carrier launched fighters operating as fighters: CAP, BARCAP and escort for the torpedo & dive bombers. Nothing against fully loaded F4U-1D's and F6F's used as heavy fighter bombers; I'd just like to see a more attractive role for the SBD and TBM.

But that's me.

Mystery,

The SBD-5 could not carry those bombs off of a carrier, per the last thread about that subject.  It was an overload used only for very short flights from land bases.

OH! Thanks for the correction, Karnak. My reference materials haven't arrived yet so I was winging it  :o
