Title: planes that sould be in the new game
Post by: matt3269 on April 17, 2003, 11:44:39 AM

ok i dont know the name of it but there is a german plane that could load tanks in it and take off and drop them from the air why not put that on there becouse it takes to long to get to target in tanks and if you do put it why not make it a perk plane just a thought thanks:)

You just have to use spawn points :D
By the way it would be good if there were way to come back. You can got few kills with GV and you can not land unless the base you go for had been captured by friedly forces. If not you have to drive for hours to get to friendly base.

It's no longer like that in the current AH.  No matter where you are, you can now successfully exit a GV without having to head to the nearest friendly base.

Perhaps, despite the "purely-for-the-fun-of-it" approach of past and present MA gameplay, there is some inclination towards actually simulating WW2 to some extent? i.e. air-dropped tanks are too far fetched even taking into account the already relaxed realism.

I believe you mean the ME-323 Gigant (see link), It could carry an armored car but not a tank. I`d love to shoot one down but I dont see it happening.

I recently saw a program on Discovery Wings where they did open the butterfly doors on the nose and loaded a type 38 Panzer into this beast, Along with troops sitting on a platform above the vehicle. They also stated that the 323 was a cumbersome aircraft and fell apart when hit, as to the cloth and wood construction of the nose doors. I would much rather use a spawn point, than to be dropped over enemy ack that could down the transport before you even got the doors open!

#1. Bein dropped would be one hell of a lot of fun.

#2. AH TOD might not have spawn points..

#3.  The numbering wasnt remotely necassary! Wonder why i used it?
