Germans bombing pearl harbor? yes its weird, but id like opinons none the less... please chime in. let me know what you think?
-
I think it's a great idea :lol A little irreverence now and then is a good thing
-
It's still an Axis vs Allied set up and I never read where it's the "Re-enactment Arena." The SEA has plenty of options for that so adding some "what if" set ups won't and never have hurt the arena. Some even drew larger than normal numbers.

...er...what might be the reason for the departure from history?

See the link above, Oldman.
As I told Jaeger when I pitched this idea to him, I'm cooking up a special Kriegsmarine 109E skin for this, as well as a historically accurate P-40C.

Well, people have been asking for years for the German aircraft carrier's 109E and Stuka, so I suppose it lends itself to that.
And certainly it's historically no more bizarre than the MAs, so give it a try.

I always liked different and bizzare, that's why oldman hired me!! LOL

Would you consider including the F4F along with the P-40C?
The Ju-88...yes or no?
How difficult is it to recover a 109 or Ju-87 on the deck of a CV?

The planeset I pitched to Jeager included both the P-40C and F-4F as Allied fighters, as well as the He 111 for the Axis torpedo bomber. All of these can be recovered on a carrier fairly easily, but rearming may prove difficult for some but it can be done.

Very cool...I'm in :aok

I agree, some of the "what if" setups in the past did draw some larger attendance....
I just now realized both Oldman and Slash seem to be no longer part of the AvsA Staff......
Thank you both for all your volunteered time over the years keeping CT and AvsA going! it is one of my most favorite arenas in the game
<S> & Cheers

sounds like fun. if only there was a luft plane capable of slingin' a torp and lifting from a CV. Then again, flying a loaded stuka off a carrier is lots of fun too. :cheers:
-
Sounds interesting. I had a 1 frame event where I depicted the US attacking Germany before Pearl Harbor.

Interesting in seeing your writeup, I'll try to stop in if I see it. <S>

Thanks TC, I was glad to contribute. The guys that followed really have done a tremendous amount of work keeping it going and are a talented bunch. :salute

True, true.

Slash & OldMan, you guys both know you've been integral for the arena for many years as staff. Thank you for you time and energy for so long. :salute

Many thanks for Slash and Oldman and their many years of service. Special thanks to Oldman, who saw something in me, that no one else did or didn't want to.
you both have been not only integral, but also driving forces behind both creating a action filled environments and also calming forces when it was necessary.
to say thank you doesn't come close to the gratitude I feel towards both of you. for now, it will have to do. :salute
now back to your regularly schedule program:
I will work with devil505 and we'll come up with a write up for it. I think I might has some cool ideas to make it plausible.
nefarious, I'll make sure I send you a copy so that you can see what we're up to. you might even be able to poach some of it for
something in the SEA.

Or if anything, just to give some input. <S> and thanks!

I will use this thread to get your opinions so keep an eye on it. devil505 is building setup specific skins for the planes. we will try to get a write-up out for everyone to critique also. stay tuned

for the record I tested both the HE-111 and the JU88's on the carrier, both landing and take off. you can't auto take off, but you can take off and land no problem. you have to scootch a little to the left so the wing clears the superstructure of the carrier. Easily done with both planes and a little practice. rearming and landing is not difficult as long as you come in very slow. don't forget you can back up on a carrier by giving it the slightest amount of fuel and it will roll backwards.
Fuel load makes a difference whether you can get airborn or not. so far ive tried the ju88 and HE111 with 1/4 fuel and 2 torps, the ju88 with 2 torps and 10 small bombs.
have not tried anything heavier.
working on the stuka and the BF109T(sub BF109E4) right now.
also latest write up. please add or comment to what you think. yes im very excited about doing this!!

Hitler Attacks Pearl Harbor
December 7, 1941
Hitler has attacked Pearl harbor. He used his expansionism agenda
and his ties with Hirohito to manipulate the Japanese into Carrying
German planes with better technology to Attack Pearl harbor.
Pearl harbor was attacked by waves of BF109E-4's, He-111's,
Ju-88's and stuka dive bombers. The relentless attack was
swift and relentless. Over 4000 civilian and military personnel
Were killed in the merciless attack. Hitler is now Fighting the
US in the Pacific in conjunction with the Japanese and in Europe
against the English, Polish and other European countries.
He already has a influx of lederhosen clad troopers and attack
Sheep ready to take the area over. this is as far as I got...

Allies:
P40C
F4-F wildcat

Axis:

stuka will take off with a Moab and 1/4 fuel, BF109E-4 tough landing because of nose(cant see), but other then that, very playable. all planes re-armable and taking off no problem, except the bombers need to move left just a little. lets do this!! just see above and help out with the write up. this setup will be epic!!!
-
If Axis can capture an air base will their aircraft be enabled there?
-
sure!
-
Is someone trying to join Delta Tau Chi?
"What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
:bolt:
-
Another option that would tie in your story about using IJN carriers would be to say that in order to appease the Japanese and fill the role of a CV capable torpedo plane that the Luftwaffe lacked, Hitler brought along several squadrons of B5N's. something to think about?
