Well regarded for its amazing STOL

Anyone know it's take off distance off unpaved runways?

These little beauties make perfect training planes. I recommend a squadron be sent to the vTards HQ at once.  :airplane:

From the one pic it looks like it had a single rear gunner.

This little beuty is beyond cool!... I will spend countless hours plastered and flying circles around the enemy in furballs... the high wing potentialy without F-3 view will make dodging some rear-quarter attacks insane...  but...  I guess I get to be the first luftwhiner...  "...of all the german aircraft to be included before the ____ (He111, Ju-87B/G, Ju-88190A-9...)".   :devil   :aok   *bows down*

According to wikipedia it is supposed to have one 7.9mm. I really don't think it's going to be much help though.

Although I may not utilize this bird much, I must say that I am rather pleased to see it added.  In addition it's roll and that of the reduced GV's icons from other A/C is a nice addition.  I like this little dog-leg in the turn that AH is making.   :rock

-1. Unless Skorzeny will be modelled to save vDallas from the knits, this plane would be useless.


It's quite the oposite: The plane will be very useful, and that is in the specific context of Vbases the single beef I have with it.  :bhead

Will it be available on the CV?

Would like the ability to resupply LVTs.
