PBY's at the ports..

[qcarech]

My wish is pby's (catalina's) that can be launched from ports, and have teh .30's an .50's w/ a payload of around 4000lbs.  just think it would be really cool and something way different. maybe a zero floatplane.
what do ya'll think?

I agree! It would spice the game up and start. "the aces high float plane era"

[LLogann]

Very few Catalina's carried ord until later in the war after their role as a torpedo bomber was revoked and then it was primarily a night bomber.  Since we have no nights here......................... ..............




But.... +1 for the PBY.

+1 for the PBY.

Not really sure what kind of plane it is.

+1 for the Catalina, it would be really fun to have floatplanes in Aces high.
Cool picture by the way

It would be cool to use them as troop carriers when troops are not available from a ground base.

If you had a fleet nearby or even not so nearby, land the plane within a certain radius of the fleet somewhat like the re-arm pad and load troops for a base capture.

Fly in under radar and let them off on the shore of the offending base.

It is an ugly plane.  That is what kind it is.

i second this

and it would probably take a lot of time to code something that can float and fly, so +1 to the pby but ONLY AFTER all other a/c are updated to AHII standards

[skorpion]

+1 but wouldnt we have to add a bomber hangar or two at the ports? 

[1Boner]

Nah--park em in the water next to the docks. (see above picture of ugly plane)

Soo make it a late war plane with torpedos used to find enemy fleets

i wouldnt mind the black cat... mainly for AvA or SEA but still allowed for flying for fun in the MAs
