PBY Please

[Karnak]

f you want to scout at ~180 mph might I suggest upping a C47?

Wiley.

Make sure to throttle back though, or you'll be going too fast.

On the topic of seaplanes why dont we add the OS2N-1 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vought_OS2U_Kingfisher ) it seems like itd be used more then the PBY as its faster and less of a free meal for fighter pilots 

[Wiley]

Is there some psychological condition that I am unfamiliar with that is prevalent on these boards?  What fun is there in upping an unarmed aircraft in a combat game?

What role can you fill with an unarmed float plane that you can't do in anything else, other than the joy of taking off and landing on water?

could be my kingfisher i mentioned or the PBY in general

LOL... I've never seen a board where people were quicker to correct others on terminology than here.  Ok, flying boat, floatplane, sea based aircraft...  Whatever the generic term is.

I just don't understand the desire to have scout planes in game at all.  If you want to scout, up something fast with a lot of fuel.  It will work far better than a PBY or pretty much any scout plane used in the war.  Plus if the enemy finds you, you can shoot back.

I was looking at the Kingfisher.  2x7.62 dorsal mounted is 'armed' in the same way a person with a CCW is 'armed' if they're carrying an airsoft pistol.

  now that you mention it, it does appear to be kind of useless, but every plane plays a part in this grand performance we call Aces High

you know, maybe it might be time to add a Search and Rescue part of the game, maybe the pilot might have valuable intel and if he is rescued by friendlies it doesn't get out, if he is captured by the enemy , the enemy might gain some insight into plans or positions of carriers. just saying, also if you want a pby. why dont you just make one  for this game, just saying
Hawk out.
