Torpedo Bombers

[trevor 0]

I think they are VERY VERY important in WW2 and i am wondering if oyu are gonna be able to make them.

We'll look into having changeable payloads on the planes once we add them.

[sverkuijlen2000 0]

Smurf you mean like the Col. Burton?

That would be nice.

(or just make two versions of an aircraft)

One bombs, one torpedo.

dotn make seperate planes make the changeable payloads, works better, member torpedo payload is one.

[sverkuijlen2000 0]

good for me to but will the american dauntless be one of the bombers? i can carry torpedo's(in battlefield 1942)

and the CataLIna wasnt a tropedo but was a cool sea plane

[tmapm 0]

I think it would be good to have a standard payload, and then allow you to research the other two.

yea very cool, liek flyin over water and see a boat, switch to torpedo more sinks....cool shit

The GLA bombtruck technique would translate to kamikaze planes.

[Rygar 0]

you can make specific torpedo bombers for naval maps...

Catalina would be nice for scouting in pacific stile maps.

(they were used for search and resque to but i don't think SAR with people which come from a sunken ship will work/or use seal idea)

[trevor 0]

also used to attack ships, they dive bombed....

 

 

 

 

 

I think the payload should be

Normal bomb, torpeado, and Kamekaze(sp) i spell it differenet everytime lol

 

also can planes have a secodnary? like a bomb and guns...npot sure prolly

the a10 has 2 weapons, so does the comanche

[trevor 0]

yea it was a dumb wuestion

[sverkuijlen2000 0]

trevor it's question :)

There can be a total of three weapons, although you can work it to have as many as 15 weapons if you somehow made it convenient to use separate weapons via the command bar.

 

I think it may be possible to make units have another 12 commands, but Im not sure...

[trevor 0]

for one unit to have 15 weapons..wow...

My idea for the aircraftcarrier(all sides)

give carriers fighter planes first, then research bombers and torpedo bombers, when you researched the two you should be able to chouse to attack with fighters,bombers or torpedo bombers, that way you could react to all situations when they change, fighters for Anti Air, bombers for Anti Ground and torpedo bombers for naval attacks. It's better make three separate carriers.

 

What do you guys think? ;)

Nice -> The idea has always been to make only one carrier. Not sure how we are gonna implement it though, unless the expansion pack allows us to do something like that.

[BoB 0]

blatantly the aircraft carrier should jsut use ordinary planes that are built on airfields, and can then land on it and be 'stored' on the carrier whilst it moves. Except things like Lancasters shouldnt be able to do it....

OR alternatively the carrier itself is like a moving building, so that you can make it the factory for specialist aircraft. These aircraft should be cheaper & weaker than 'normal' aircraft, with limited range (still fairly large tho).

 

I dislike the idea of selecting what type of plane to put up now.... especially when you may want a mix, or if you want more/less planes to go, or (like I would do) to have some fighters constantly on Air Defence, then some more fighters and torpedo bombers (with literally a few normal bombers for anti- anti-aricraft installations on land).

[sverkuijlen2000 0]

I don't agree with you on that BoB, if you want a mix you build more carriers.

And if you have to store planes on a carrier which has no attack of it's own why build it?

Planes don't have a max. range so in stead of building a carrier you could just use them from normal airfields instead of carriers.

That's why I think the carrier should have self regenerating planes so it has an advantage on the normal airfield.

And what's wrong with researching new weapons? It's the same as the commanche's rocket barrage, and having the ability to call difirent planes from the same carrier helps with adapting to the current situation.

The way you want the carrier to be is useless, yes you can read USELESS!!!!!!!!!

If the normal airfield is beter at everything then why even bother to put carriers in?

[BoB 0]

because the carrier can MOVE .... hence move AROUND enemy defences to attack from behind...

and i think the best idea is to have the carrier with, as you say, re-spawning planes, but I think these re-spawners should just be say 3 planes who are air-defence. Then when you select the carrier in the 'sidebar' you have the icons so that you can buy planes like torpedo bombers or more fighters etc, different from land-based planes and not inter-compatible with airfields.

[Biohazard 0]

What BoB, is it too hard for you to tell your planes to go one place and then another in midair? :huh:

 

I think it should be like you can select which kind of raid it will launch so you either get like five fighters, five bombers, five torp-bombers or whatnot.

[sverkuijlen2000 0]

That's my idea :huh:

 

Check my new poll to go further on this subject.

JagdTiger: What BoB, is it too hard for you to tell your planes to go one place and then another in midair?

 

ummmm well one they've attacked planes have a nasty habit of flying in a beeline for base... :huh:
