British Heavy Bomber short "String"

Wicked pissa plane!

 If HTC brought this to AH then we'd definitely need the Axis counterpart
the "Langer Stiefelriemen"

Your 5 foot 6 inches.
200 pounds.
Why should I like you?
All i see is stats why do we need it?

1) 5' 9".
2) 130 lbs
3) I'm not saying we need it, quite the opposite.

Because I know you won't do it, here's the specs on her. My only issue... 18,000 lbs of ord?! IMO, nothing with that much capability to single-handedly do so much damage should be added. The game is supposed to NOT be able to be a 1 man show, but take a bit of cooperation (I know, I know, since when does THAT happen? Oh... yeah...  it's summer time... ).

down side of the stirling was its low service ceiling. In AH where fights are generally low it would be great. Wouldn't want to be caught in that thing during a scenario though.

Think about that for a second......... How many times do you approach Lanc's and think, "oh geez I'm dead if I try and kill those buffs"  18k in ord wont do much with 8 .303's IMHO.  Bring it On!!!  More newb fodder!!!  The thing will climb like a rock and be easy prey for the 109's, spit's of the world.  You still have to get to the base to bomb it.

As oppossed to the B-29 which will be absolutely murderous to attack.

"Langer Stiefelriemen"

Whats that?

[Denholm]

I don't know.


Like we need another British dive-bomber.

google doesn´t know either...

My apologies, perhaps a typo on the part of Westy (unless it was a clever bait)?

Not nessicarily so. Whenever I attack bombers I don't try to hold it unless it is a rifle calibur armed bomber. I come in at full speed, shoot up the buff, and zoom away to make another pass.

It seems like the biggest threat would be the 20mm in the tail, and that can be solved by attacking in other areas.

It's supposed to be German for "Large Bootstrap"

A 1941 Axis counter-weapon to the UK "Short string"


heheheheh

[Denholm]

Dang you nailed us.
