Tank-Ace,

By your logic, the German AA gunners weren't usually in combat with the Lancasters or B-17s because they personally weren't usually in the target area and thus were actually in less danger than the Meteor pilots.

According to you, not only did he not get wounded in combat, he also brought it on himself by being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I would like for you to have the opportunity to discuss your opinions with him. I guarantee, despite his condition, he would sing you a lullaby. He would have to stand in line though.

This forum for the most part seems to be made up of people who have either served, are serving, or have a deep respect for the fighting men and women, whichever branch or arm they serve in. I don't know whether or not you are just attempting to provoke a reaction, or you are genuinely as pig-headed as you appear, either way, I would ask you in as reasonable a way as I can to desist, and I hope that this thread gets locked

According to Tank-Ace, he didn't serve combat since nobody shot at him - yeah I know...I think TA is simply looking to provoke a reaction or trolling as usual.

Amazing story though Danny, kid sure had alot of pride enduring that pain like that, really you can't do anything but respect the man whose got more balls then most people you will ever meet. He'll his brass pair is bigger then a pair of liberty bells  :cheers:

Really? Slow as hell, it's still going to carry 10 troops, the firepower isn't even going to be that great since there will likely be no formations either.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

Nah, it wasn't capable of acting as a paratroop transport so far as I know.  It would be possible for it to move a light vehicle though.

What I'd actually like to see it used for is a new gameplay mechanism where a number of them could setup a temporary vbase or airfield.

Mostly I want it just because it is so unique looking.  :p

The german aircraft lineup isnt as bad (the 188 would be a cookie tho). Unlike the russian, italan and maybe the japaneese planeset.

Firepower is tremendous compared to the C-47 :D

I could see it as a perked (yes, you did read that right) and armed transporter carrying 2x field supplies.

Assuming the attacker is competent..at most you're going to have two 20mm aimed at you. I wouldn't perk it nor fear it at all if it was added.

The perk would be necessary for gameplay balance, and not just because it's a deathstar.

I respectfully disagree.  :)

You either pick the C47 which is 2x faster. Or you can pick this in exchange for defensive firepower. It may have a lot of cannons, but unless it has formations enabled, it's not really that great. They got butchered in WWII, they'll get butchered in here.

2x field supplies. Only half number of trips to bring up a base (and no, the C-47 isn't twice as fast). Plus armament.
To balance this impact on the gameplay you would have to perk it. Then players have a choice if they go for maximum efficiency (+guns) while risking some perks for it.

Top speed is 235mph in a C47.
Top speed is 168mph in a Me 323.

Ok, not twice as fast but fast enough to make a noticable difference.  :aok
