Col Deadmarsh Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 I blame lame jokes like this on the fact that I just got back from some Saturday night drinking. And even though I recognize the utter stupidity in posting this, I still felt I needed to share it with you...probably cause I'm bored. Or is that bord? Which is it Rob? ------------------ Youth is wasted on the young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mace Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 Errr, what plane silhouette would you like to see moving across the ground? Tempest, P47, Fw190F? Mace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FurballMagGP Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 jeez, this question doesnt even need to be asked.... everyone knows that the Feisler Storch was the premier axis plane and the PBY for the allies would create a momentary total blackout ------------------ -gp FBM's CM Resource Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pvt. Ryan Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 Some nice hi-res silhouettes would be cool. Tiger did say he was tired of armor mods, didn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 the airplane shadows are hard-coded into the game are they not? -johnS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark IV Posted October 29, 2000 Share Posted October 29, 2000 A P-38 shadow should be distinctive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold Posted October 30, 2000 Share Posted October 30, 2000 Hey guys, Before you laugh at the prospect of a Storch or PBY terrorizing troops from above you might want to know a little about my uncle. His name was Charles Carpenter and he was an aerial artillery spotter for the U.S. 4th Armored division in WW2. He flew an L-4 Piper Cub and his nickname was "Bazooka Charlie." He got the nickname in Normandy when he mounted bazookas underneath the wings and started tank hunting when he wasn't doing spotting duties. He was credited with knocking out six vehicles, four of which were tanks (for embellishment we will say they were King Tigers ). The entire article is in Sept 1987 issue of World War II magazine. I always thought my grandmother was pulling my leg until I read it. So if CM is really serious about historical accuracy I think it is about time "Rosie the Rocketer" is patched into the game .
