Fi 156 Storch

[Babalonian]

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

Given the list of aircraft capable of hanging on its six during maneuvers....  or rather, take the list of aircraft in the game that can even come close to hanging on its six during maneuvers and look at what they'll be armed with to fight against it....  only in AH is there the potential for a horde of Fi156s to have a battle of epic proportions against a horde of B5N2s... until the D3As show up and start chasing one side back to the base.

There are THREE things that were really good to hear regarding the addition of the Storch (in addition to adding the Storch):

First, the GV icon range for regular aircraft is reduced, hopefully the reduction is worthy enough to notice.

Second, the ability of the Storch to see gv's further out than other aircraft is very nice, it actually lends to giving the spotter aircraft its due.

Third, the Storch is going to have smoke capability so it can mark enemy gv's.

Very good job indeed, HTC.  This adds a whole other realm in AH.  Job well done and thanks for exploring and implementing the idea.       

Now... about some other things....

B5N vs storch with gunners in each would be an unique sight to see.  "No! don't get on his six, we need to be at his 12 low!!!"

Aha! This will be my new favorite plane because I am an absolutely horrible dogfighter! Nice to be able to use smoke to as well but how long does the smoke last and how big will the "poof" be?

Also will there be any way of earning perks out of this?
 Perhaps for every tank killed within a 20 yard radius of where the smoke landed is an assist of some sort but .5 perks are earned as a base for instance?

stop saying "im gunna resup this and that" because the home page says it cant carry sups.

 "and can land but not drop vehicle supplies"

aka, no chute drops, but you can land next to the tank and drop them.

I'm totally going to use this for resupply!

Lately Pyro and I have been thinking of this.

gah i was wrong stone me!

Nice addition! I had actually been wanting something like this. I think we'll be seeing the American counterpart in a week or so

[Babalonian]

I wonder if supplies onboard will add a noticable weight to the entire aircraft if you take them or not....

Anywho, it just occured to me, might need a "No Smoking" sign mounted somewhere inside this thing.  First thing I'm doing when I up in it is shut off the engine, drop a smoke or two, and see how they smoke there in the hangar for a few minutes.

wow who woulda thunk

Interesting Something major is coming with this addition. Otherwise why bother.
