Post by: Plawranc on August 13, 2012, 02:46:14 AM: Complete rework guys.

We need a bi-plane package of a B-26 and Lancaster upgrade.

Post by: SmokinLoon on August 13, 2012, 11:30:10 AM: I'd like to see the earlier variant added in as well, or at least the ability to pick and choose which rear turret we can take. If memory serves me correctly the earlier version had quad .30 cals instead of the current dual .50 cals. One would think that would be a ton more ammo and quad .30's might not be too far off from dual .50's in terms of ability thanks to rate of fire.

Post by: Karnak on August 13, 2012, 12:02:52 PM: Quad .303 turret had 2000 rounds per gun.

Post by: MiloMorai on August 13, 2012, 01:02:22 PM: Quad .30s were the standard fit. Only a small number got the dual .50s.

Post by: Chalenge on August 13, 2012, 01:05:37 PM: Probably why its perked in the early war (or is it mid war?) arena.

I think all of the early rides need a refit. Lanc and Hurrie gears are way too fast. Modeling is not as smooth as later work.

Yes +1

Post by: Karnak on August 13, 2012, 01:12:06 PM: I don't think the .50s are the reason for its perk price in Early war.

You have, level bomber wise:

B-25C
Boston Mk III
G4M1
Ju88A-4
Lancaster Mk III

One of these is clearly in a different category of capability as a bomber.

According to JG26 war diary volume II , the brittish bombers where almost defenseless with their .303 against the fw190s and 109s.
6th august 1944 they claimed to have shot down 4 halifaxes and 3 lancasters without any loss for themselves.

the Lanc had a control column and a yoke? I thought you had to fly it just using the Force ;)

Title: Re: Lancaster Update
Post by: MK-84 on August 28, 2012, 10:27:12 PM: +1 I am guessing...just guessing, but considering it is a mainstay of the LWA, It might not be here yet because it may be difficult to get the specific data needed to model that aircraft accurately? Perhaps it's also to, when updated give it the best update ever, and anything else would fall short of expectations?

Post by: SmokinLoon on August 29, 2012, 01:33:29 PM: I'd rather see the Wellington and put off an update to the Lance for a time when the "gaps" are filled. It isnt like the Lanc needs an update to affect performance or other such flight characteristics. Eye candy is all we'd be getting, really.

Add the Wellington first, imo. :aok
