Title: Flying porcupine
Post by: F77 on November 17, 2014, 02:01:07 PM

Heavier than the cat, better armed, better loadout, flies higher, faster, better power to weight (suprisingly) and more engines!

Short Sunderland anyone?

Now that you put it that way, the Emily does have more armament and carries more stuff, it seems a good bird. +2

If adding pairs, I might recommend doing so as 'natural enemy' opponents. However, shouldn't the role such an addition would have in the game be considered? Even in the PBY thread, I would think (AI) shipping targets would have to be increased. The Sunderland appears to have more of an anti-sub role. There are no subs in AH (nor do I think such could be effectively modeled enough to draw the dedicated sub simmer).

*ShruG*

I'd have to give this a 'model it when a dozen or so more practical and fun things are done first' response - models and game factors.

It is a pretty duck, though.  ;)
