I would love to see a pilot after having to relieve himself of his burning plane to be able to use his colt 45...
I ran up to a nme Flak yesterday while he was trying to save his base.....
He didnt even see me..I got real close....I would of love to hop on tank and open hatch..and let loose w/ my 45:)...
This would also give a little more usefulness of the Turret Machine
(Strafe nme pilots runnen to ur GV..lolo) guns on the GV's//...dam thos things are useless most of the time:)
Atleast kill him..maybe even take over command of GV!!!..lollol

P-47s had an incendiary grenade in them, according to Robert Johnson in his book. Maybe some other US planes as well. I'd love to a an incendiary grenade next time Im near a Flak, take that you open top fantasy tank!

lolol
Love BiGB

Every bailed pilot I've shot has been carrying explosives.
-
yup that would be nice to fight on after u bail.
i remember a ju88 sortie i flew a spit got on my 6 and we shot each other down we landed in the water a bout 50yrds apart we ran at each other to finish the fight but all we could do is dance:D

ROFL....yup.

Over the four years I was playing WB I only managed to hit a plane once with the '45, while hanging in my chute. What did it do? It made him real mad. He came back around and shot me in my chute:eek: Some people take being shot at sooooo personally.

like shooting a bear with bb's... baaaad idea

A while back, Preon1, (a squadmate), and I had a discussion about this. He and I came to the conclusion that one day, HTC might just add a "first-person shooter" element to the game. I don't know the level of programming involved, but I too would like to see the ability to run at troops heading to the maproom. Or how about being able to join the C-47 as a 'gunner' (paratrooper) and be able to storm your way past the other players defending the maproom. Would definitely put a use to those tank machine guns too... Good luck HTC, thanks in advance...

hee hee... imagine the last ditch effort at base defense when a ton of people run out of the town and tower with rifles and some grenades to defend the base from an enemy infantry assault. Imagine the strafe fest from the air!!! :D

If you check back a few months, maybe four month, not really sure hopw long ago. But in the HTC update info forum, you will find where they said something about bringing in ground troops.
Where as you could be a paratrooper and storm the map room, or you could be a defender at the map rom. I also beleive it said that the fight could take place inside the map room, as where you had to run down hall ways to make the capture and could fight there. now I have not look back to see what it said exacty, but it was some thing along this line if I am right.
It would be best to go back and check for your self what it says. get all the right info and not what I can remember from then.
either way, it should be fun when it all comes together.

LOL. That was me Key, in the JU88. That was funny as hell. By the way, have any of you looked at yourselves up close? We're all UGLY as hell.

This grenade was suposed to be used to destroy a crash landed plane no ?
-
Believe so Straffo, several planes had this, 190's and 109's too. Think most planes had some self destruction when you ditched.

HITECH: On ground warfare, what I envision at some point is a first-person shooter run as a secondary item to base capture. What I’m sort of envisioning in the end is something that would run along the lines of a C-47 dropping a spawn point at the [enemy base’s] map room. The map room now is expanded to a full, underground bunker-warfare, first-person shooter. The defender always gets to spawn in the bunker. The attackers, now for the next thirty minutes, they can spawn people in the bunker, and there’s this big, first-person shooter war happening underground to do an actual [base] capture.
SABRE: So your going to take it basically all the way down to the individual with a rifle and some hand grenades?
HITECH: Absolutely! What I’ve figured out is, there are four aspects to combat. You’ve got fighter planes, you’ve got ground vehicles, you’ve got bombers, and you have infantry. None of the four people, none of the four aspects want to go fight each other. Vehicles want to fight with vehicles; bombers want to go bomb stuff; fighters don’t want to mess with bombers; bombers don’t want to mess with fighters; and infantry don’t want to mess with anybody…they just want to go fight the other infantry. What you do is provide a mechanism in the game that makes that happen.
From my interview with HiTech at last year's Con...

On Discovery Channel back when I was watching a show - I think about the Battle of Midway. They had those pilot's on here and there telling stories of thier encounters.... Well there was this one pilot who claims to have finished off a zero (got him smoking or some such) with his 45 sidearm.
I'll see if I can find the story - someone bound to have written about it.
(not finding anything on this in a fast Google search)
-
I want to mess with bombers, they're fun to shoot at :D
-
I'd like a Bazooka for my infantry...
Oh and a mortar...
And a flame thrower!
And a sniper rifle, with secondary fire as a zoom feature on the scope...
:D :D
-
I can see it now....

As I recall when you bail and run around on the ground in AH, you are carrying a rifle. With a rifle and a grenade, wouldn't it be fun to take over on of the con fields ack guns and let loose.
It would also be nice to have a better designed chute, although they probably didn't have these in wwII but a precision chute that would allow you to fly a bit instead of just falling straight down. Hehehe...land on the back of a lower altitude plane and shoot the pilot.
One serious request, give me a quick release on that chute so when I accidentally open it at 10k I don't have to float for 20 minutes. Quick release the main chute then open a secondary chute at a lower altitude to make it more challenging for chute killers. :)

Pilots of Japanese planes should get a sword instead of a gun.

i think there should be planes set on the fields so if u bail u can steal a plane .... and if u get back to your base that plane will be avalable at that field ...... like say u dropped out of a c47 as a paratrooper u steal a plane and head for home ...... or HTC could add a side arm like u guys said but u could choose what kind of gun....bazooka :D ....... or whatever ........ and maby some other equipment ...... but what would be really cool is what i think the brits used ... maby it was US ........ troop planes dropped troops and a minibike .......... then there where suicide gliders ........ or htc could add the ability to make new fields by dropping troops and supplys ...... well thats just off the top of my head
-
Ok some of yu guyd goin to far.....Giving choices of arms is not whgat i want....1911 Colt i s only gun u get ..o r what ever the axis countries carried....

"This is my weapon, this is my gun. This is for fighting, this is for fun."
-
shucks i, i'd be happy with a pack a smokes, a chocolate bar , and a flask for my trip down after bailing:D
-
i read some where the IL2 rear gunners used to carry hand Grenades and lob them at pursuing Focke-Wulf's.
-
This would be a great idea.
I'd love to be able to raid a map room and all, but I think we should still have AI troops as well (but the AI troops would not fire) or lower it to like 2-3 ppl to capture a map. Cuz on the H2H you could never finish a war! And it would be somewhat hard in the MA as well.
But it should only be like a 30 cal with a max of 15-20 rounds.
Though this may encourage chute shooting, it allready seems to be a popular sport and what else u gonna do for 10 mins gliding down? :D
Would be funny to see all the players spawning just to bail out and act as AA guns when being vulched!
