Title: aircraft that land on
Post by: davidwales on January 17, 2012, 01:45:15 PM
ok ive done the search at the top and as far as i can see there has only been 1 post regarding aircraft landing on water the f7f tigercat meets all expectations it iwas a ground attack aircraft with 4 30 mm cannon mounted in its nose , this would be a fantastic platform to attack vh bases and ports on coast land outside dar and watch out !! when they take off because it could destroy 2 vhs with 2 passes if you got the fractions correct also the high altitude brigade could not spot you as you will be on the sea . :airplane:

Wow.  The F7F was an interceptor and was armed with 20mm cannon.

And it certainly didn't land on water.

David.....i'm going to try and help you out with some advice as it pertains to posting wishes.  First, IMO the main reason why you are catching so much flak on here is twofold.  First your posts have the appearance of just being hastily thrown together without much thought.  Many of your wishes already have multiple threads on the same idea.  That is not to say you cannot post, but my feeling is that is warranted if you give a fresh take or information that has not been previously stated.  Second, and this is a big one, invest the time to research credible sources and then cross reference those sources before posting your idea.(example...this wish topic).  This is intended to help you in research and posting of your ideas.  :salute

  This isn't exactly correct,sure it didn't land on water but the F7f was in squadron strength and stationed on Okinawa.They flew a couple of night sorties but never engaged in combat.

   The F8f was on way to the combat zone also but failed to arrive before the war ended.

when in doubt Wikipedia is an excellent source. It is not hyper accurate but has solid introductory info on pretty much any bird. When it comes to hyper detail you will likely need to find other sources. With Wiki this thread on the F7F would have gone a different direction.

Wikipedia is a way to find out new things, however you must follow it up with actual sources and not "googled".
I.e if you want something added in game, look up wiki, then find someone who has source material on the item..

I generally have a few people now and then drop me a line requesting certain material, which is not a problem, however I ignore those who go outside
the realm of the game itself. I.e no 1945/1946 planes/tanks. Stupid ideas either.
