biplanes in AH
« on: April 04, 2002, 08:57:01 PM »
Wouldn't it be nice to fly some of the pre-war biplanes that got to see action in WW2, even if only in second-line units....

They'd be:

Polikarpov I-153
Fiat CR 32,42-used quite a lot
Gloster Gladiator
Avia B54(i think)
Grumman F3F
Heinkel He-51
Curtiss SBC Helldiver
Arado Ar-68
Fairey Swordfish-that was actually very successful in WW2
Henschel He-123 (i think)

Well,if you can think of some more, just reply and add them to the list.

Why would anyone actually fly a bi-plane?

Why do people fly spits...or the N1K...or the La7?

Perversions? Dillusions? Inferiority complexes? Premature ejaculation problems? Who knows...

Some questions are just better left unanswered...

Because they move faster that way .

I would like to see some of the more obscure early war plane in AH too . In due time .

Its Avia B.534 Golly-geen it! ;)  And yes I would like to see it too in AH but as it seems the IL-2 sturmovik from Maddox will have B.534 sooner... But anyway I already lost my faith in seeing B.534 in AH acording to a question I asked HiTech about biplane support by AH engine and about actually incorporating biplanes into AH in the future. Answer was - Yes AH engine does support biplanes and also that it is highly unlikely that they gonna be introduced to AH... :(

And why would people want to fly early war biplanes? I don't know about others but the reason why would I fly the B.534 is that it would probably be the one and ONLY Czech airplane that saw action during WW2 since the great allies sold our country to germans :mad: and we had to surrender without fight, B.534s saw quite some action during the liberation of our country at the end of the war...

reason to fly biplanes: Cause they turn and turn and turn..on a dime and monoplanes can't turn with them :D
well,that won't help much against a better armed faster monoplane, but it'd still be a lot of fun. And it would be fun in scenarios like What if..WW2 1935 or Spanish Civil War.
But I agree with those that want HTC to concentrate on improving realism in the planes already present.
Some biplanes would still be nice ... :)
