NOT the Ar-234....not for me at any length.
How many buff drivers out there are hording their buff points hoping to get something worth spending them on?
For me, I guess I'm waiting for B-29's. Yes, it should be perked (but hopefully not so hugely perked you can't afford to fly three at a time). Yes, it should have limited fields to launch from. Heck, maybe even limit it to only certain maps, to test it out.
Really
high perks for Fat Man or Tall Boy loadout?
Another result of more perky-driven buffs.... might put more emphasis on hitting the material strategic targets in the war to get more points to spend: the factory sites, cities, bunkers......
What other bombers not in the game yet could you see added for buff drivers to spend their points on?
(Mitsubishi G4M "Betty"? ...heck, that thing was called a flying lighter by U.S. forces cause it caught fire so easily.... a little heavier load than the Ki-67 "Peggy", but I can't see it rating perk points. Almost as bad as adding the obsolete Ki-21 "Sally", G3M "Nell" or "perked" Japanese tanks would be......
)
If we had subs in game, I'd say the
PBY Catalina...which could carry 4,000 lbs of bombs or depth charges. Not sure if perk worthy. Scouting and air-sea rescue missions not in game.
The Messerschmitt Me 323 "Gigant" Heavy transport? 2 4-ton vehicles, or 130 men in one lift? Imagine the drop from that!
Ilyushin Il-4 (DB-3F) ? .... too similar to the B-17 in capabilities, although it would be a welcome addition, I can't see it as a perked plane.
He 177A-5 Grief ? Nearly the load of a Lanc and faster by about 30 mph....less than 1,500 actually produced, but two Hs 293 missiles as an loadout option would be wicked.
A-26B Invader which was well into replacing A20s and B-26s near the end of the war? Perkable, not very expensive if so. 315 mph at 15,000 feet (355mph max speed also listed someplaces, probably w/o load) is nice as is 3,000 lb bomb load. 6-.50cal forward, 2 dorsal/ventral .50's, and an additional 8 optional underwing and cheek mounted .50's package..... strafe city....
JU-290....only 65 built, never more than 20 available at one time. JU-390...only two prototypes built.....
He-111 H-16... might be a bit easier to defend that the JU-88's are.
Any other thoughts on what we buff drivers could get to spend points on other than the Arado?
