You know how when you bail and you little guy is on the ground? Why not give that guy a working gun? A rifle. now that would be cool!
-
I'm curious as to how many fighter jocks actually carried rifles...anyone know? I thought they only carried pistols...cramped cockpit and all.
-
This is a pic from AH and that looks like a rifle to me!
-
Well hell! That cinches it then. All fighter pilots carried rifles in their cockpits! The B-29 pilots probably bail out with mortars strapped to `em. :D
-
109s in north africa had a rifle as part of the "desert survival kit".

(Psssst .... you're not helping) ;)
I think perhaps I could live without pilots turning into "L33t 5|\|!p3rz" when they ditch or bail. :D

Are you sure? That looks like a featureless green dude in brown spandex wrestling tights.

The gun looks like an M1 carbine
But anyway, the bailed out parachute simply uses the paratrooper model because he's lazy

Paratroopers. "Bail" from a C-47.
As for pilots of fighters and bombers....no. They're done after they land.
-
Just bail out open parashoot, land on the ground, press F3, press and hold 2 on the number pad, and zoom in and you will see that your guy has a gun!!!!!!:mad:

read my post

Shark-ate-ate ....
We all know that a bailed pilot has the same object representing it as a paratrooper. No need for pilots to be commandos. Why not campaign for non-AI ground troops (that aren't bailed pilots)? Who knows ... HT may be playing with that idea. But wanting bailed pilots to be "|_33t 5|\|!P3Rz" once they're on the ground is a tad bit much, imo.
Still .... keep them ideas rollin. Just because some (or even all) of us don't agree (or find them funny) doesn't mean you won't come up with a winner. :D

Shark, you are being silly. Fighter pilots don't carry rifles.
Your comments are based on the fact that the bailed out pilot on the ground has a rifle and therefore should be able to use it.
We disagree. The rest of us would like to see the character model of the pilot on foot changed to something more realistic. Mainly, get rid of the rifle.
Paratroopers from the C47 would have rifles though. That is a good idea to have them be useful as paratroopers.
A Ju-52 would be a nice addition to the plane lineup then. So would a Sherman tank for ground combat. I don't like using proxy vehicles and if we're going to see Axis vs Allies, then their needs to be equivalent equipment. Maybe even model a German cruiser too.

Yes! Major Hans has it ("Hans down"). Learn from him young Jedi. :)

as you appear to be lacking in the brains department, I'll post what I posted again!

The bailed out pilot uses the same model as the paratrooper, so that's why you see a gun when you land on the ground after bailing out.
Makes me wonder though if we get a terrain editor with AH2 which will probably allow the terrain makers to add custom skins and the like (like the current terrain editor), will they be able to change the paratrooper skins?
Ack-Ack

Why have a gun and not be able to use it? thats stupid:confused:
-
Hey, I've an idea! If a group of jabos level a city, 10 of them could eject and capture it!
:D
-
I think you should email HT everyday about this. No ... twice a day. Pyro too. :D

the most original, never posted or thought of either :rolleyes:

Actually in the JU88 you could remove the guns if you ditched,and use them as heavy handcarried maschineguns.
Abit better then a tiny pistol.

its a good idea!!
