Look'n good :aok
-
Very nice.
-
I'm surprised to see this one updated before the A-20G/Boston III, but it looks nice and I promise to fly it at least once in the MA.
Nice to see work-in-progress shots, too - thank you HTC!
-
I'm not crying. I'm EXTREMELY HAPPY! :x

I remember those Val missions back a few years ago lol...... :rock :rock

Best fighter in the game.

I fondly remember shooting down a P-47N using a D3A.

I once managed to shoot down an Il-2 in a D3A. Had to plink away for a felt half an hour :joystick: The Sturmovik probably died of boredom :old:
Edit: Tour 115. Already 8 years ago... :eek:

I do... got shot down in a burning Val hulk screaming like a school child all the way down from 15'000ft.
It could turn, but man, even with a good tailgunner the lifespan of one of those bombers with a P-40 or a F4F on your six is around 30 seconds.

Back in warbirds, they had AI formations of D3A that flew around bombing fields and I remember seeing guys go after them.
It was a hoot to join the formation in your own D3A and wait for someone to come along to blast the defenseless planes out of the sky.
When he shows up, you slowly break off and circle around behind him or simply throttle back while he's busy shooting fish in a barrel.
Manning the guns on AI bombers was also fun in warbirds.

Beautiful job on the Japanese pilot and gunner. Very well done!

Same here, but then I took a look and made a mental checklist of what's left:
a20g/boston
tempest
ar234b
me163
b5n
Daaaaaang! They've actually made a lot of progress and there really aren't many obsolete ones left.
-
Ki.67 and Ju88 still need updating, IIRC. But yeah, gettin' down there. Really looking forward to the re-do of the A-20s. And the Ju88. Ki.67 still sees action in the MA, so that's a good one too.
-
We've seen 8 updated models since the AH3 beta. Not bad for a year's work. :aok

They're pulling planes out of hat. :lol

D'oh, yes. I forgot those two. How could I forget the Ju88?!?
I seriously hope we get several versions with that remodel: a -C solid nose strafer like the B-25 has, a A-1 for early BOB-era stuff, our A-4 which is the 1942 era version, and then hopefully a -188 because there are so many similarities between the airframes.

Typhoon as well

Typhoon was done a long time back.
-
My mistake then. One would think the tempest would have been done at the same time. Carry on

Hopefully when the Ar234b is updated, they'll remove the tail cannon.

you mean tempest

Or better yet, add a working periscope. Or maybe even the P Model with 30mm's :)

And that the ventral gun on the A-20 and Boston is added when they are updated.

I think he was referring to the fact that no operational Ar-234s had the rear facing guns at all.
The tail guns should be removed, but there should also be a case for adding the 2x20mm belly mounted gunpod. That was actually used a number of times in night fighter configuration.

And a few times in dog fighting during daytime operations.

This photo was taken through an actual rear view of a AR-234b periscope on the photo recon version non bomb carrying.

The D3A is beautiful. A real treat to fly.

I had a tree top turn fight with a brewster. That was hilarious when I could out turn the Brew and pepper him with the 7.62 staples shooters.
