Longer runways please.
This is a big problem if the field is at 5k+
Thanks,
Grayarea.
-
yes please
longer runways or at least give us some chainsaws :)
as a bonus...we can use all the wood we get from cutting down the trees to repair battle damaged mossies :D

Yep longer runways please or look into the treacle tyres that make the Lanc stick to the runway, and yes I do use flaps :rolleyes:
-
How about trees that cause a small amount of damage but not cause death, unless you hit them nose on. Clipping the top of a tree should not constitute a death. Especially if it was a wheel.
-
Please here too.
eskimo

Loonger please!! the B29 will need em more than the lanc does!!

b29? did I hear you right?

I've been asking for longer runways for quite some time.
Even if longer runways were only added to the large airfields and heavy bombers limited to those I would be happy.
-
thats a great idea karnak
-
Yeah Karnak that thought crossed my mind too
Large fields with extra long runways being the only place the heavies could launch.
Med fields, medium buffs and jets
small fields light buffs , and fighters
Oh yeah, and "overloads" for fighters such as F4U-4 only available from land bases.
Seen reports of the F4U-4 able to actually carry more than the P47, but only when launched from land bases.

Ya mean this one:
"Up to three 1,000 lb. bombs along with eight 5 inch rockets could be carried. Reportedly, it was not unusual to rig the F4U-4 with as much as 6,000 lbs of ordnance. Apparently the robust structure of the Corsair could bear these loads without undue wear and tear on the airframe. Almost certainly, such overloaded Corsairs did not operate from carrier decks, but exclusively from shore bases."
(taken from a thread in the help forum).
Anyway.....PUNT. LONGER RUNWAYS!

Longer runways :)
-
Please
-
BUMP :)
-
1 Here AGAINST...
Make them buff'rs learn sum skillz!
-
As was said,limit Heavy bombers to large airfields and lengthen the runways there,good idea that! :) I dont need any more grey hairs especially with these killer trees!
-
Yes! longer larger rear fields for bombers.
-
I calculate the runways on a 3-runway triangular field to be about 3400 feet long each, which is not, in my opinion, adequate for a heavily loaded bomber.

ok, ok, ok. HT, give us tunnels so we can fly through the mountains! Better? ;)
P.S. Chainsaws fitted as underwing stores?
-
Well I for one dont think you should limit heavy bombers to only certain fields. If a guy wants to learn how to take a bomber off on a short runway and wants to take the chance in doing so, then let him. I can get a Lanc with 75% fuel and 14k bombs off of the ground in plenty of time to clear the trees as it is now....its just takes practice.
-
You can sling?!!! go offline go to Mindanao, field 44, takeoff to the north and film it please!! with 14k eggs and 75% fuel.
In the WW buffs did not use front line bases, which were typically rough, small, and didn't contain the facilities to support the heavies. I think its not unrealistic to have dedicated buff fields in AH either.
SKurj
-
Ok I will. But first question...is there a mountain or hill at the end of that runway? And the second would be...what email address would you like me to send the film to? :D
-
SKurj
Not a bad idea at all, but i think it would be more practical to have fighters also at the Buff bases. Other wise they would be the most targeted easy to take over bases.
Atleast give us longer run ways so i dont have to here another person whine for 20 minutes because they crashed a 262 into the trees on take off.
-
Well with the trees everywhere, you can't even ditch..... :( Had a Lanc with a few popped engines and if it weren't for the Jonny Appleseed Terrain, I mighta had a place to set her down :D
-
Never been to europe. I ask is there palm trees covering 90% of the land there? if so i gotta relocate!!! :p
-
FFS. This aint about limiting bombers to rear bases, I mean after all what happens when the frontline moves forward? Buffs would have a major long flight.....nah, wouldnt work.
Now get this: THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD IS TO SHOW HT THAT WE, THE COMMUNITY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY WOULD LIKE LONGER RUNWAYS.
Not all of em, just some. Sling is right, if ya wanna try and take off from a short runway then more power to ya.......it is possible, it's just a pain in the arse.

Exactly Swoop...I am not saying that we dont need[/i] longer runways, I am just saying that I would hate to see bombers relegated to just certain fields.
-
I vote for shorter trees.
-
no mountain sling
skurjz@home.com make it short !!
so i can post on my website for all to see
SKurj
off to try meself...
-
Will do Skurj. Tonight...after Monday Night Football...after a couple of pitchers of Shiner Bock. :D
-
ok sling +) but!! ya better try before HT issues the patch which will resolve the problem lol.
I got the lanc with 75% in the air for about 10 seconds before she slowly sank back into the trees. Even then I was not able to reach sufficient speed for takeoff within the confines of the base.
No auto takeoff
Flaps up until close to the end of the runway then dropped 3-4 notches i forget
abit of up elevator trimmed in
no CT
not possible
SKurj
-
Its possible buddy....you pop a couple notches of flap at end of runway, pull up quick, retract gear and flaps and then ride the stall horn until you can level it out. When is the patch comin' out? I wont get home until around 10 or so my time. But believe me...it can be done. :)

If they are lighter then by all means.....

couldnt they remove a few more trees around the base? easier than a total remodel of bases surely?
