ajj1912 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Has anyone witnessed the AA 50 caliber on a Sherman score a kill on any enemy plane providing CAS??? Is it feasible? :cool: If one plane is destroyed from a bomber group, will that bomber group attempt another bombing run?? Could spent fuel and ammo modify vehicles performance in future releases?

MEYER_1944 Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 What about the prospects of a shot down plane taking out vehichles??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichenberg Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 And what's with recrewing shot down planes and flying off with them?? Even if it takes another 3 months to implement that feature I want that in...... or maybe planes are like flying buildings and can not be entered??? :confused: Uwe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Originally posted by MEYER_1944: What about the prospects of a shot down plane taking out vehichles??? Because this happened ALL THE TIME. Meyer, name one instance you know of where this actually happened, there's a good fellow. Never mind the fact that a plane travelling 200 miles per hour will come down nowhere near any ground unit that actually shot it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 I want to see a shot down planes crew bail out, recrew an enemy AT gun and take out the lousy tank that shot it down in the first place. Can we do this? I would wait an extra week for it to be implemented, but no more than a week, mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitori Kyo Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 is this the crew that Hof said this type of game would attract? .. on a good note close combat is to be re-released with enhancements, something to look foward to indeed. - Hitori kyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivodsi Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Sure, we been shot down many times, we're still good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hofbauer Posted October 27, 2006 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: Never mind the fact that a plane travelling 200 miles per hour will come down nowhere near any ground unit that actually shot it down. Oh, that is entirely feasible if the plane targetted an AA piece. I think I have even read accounts of low-flying fighters coming down within an AA emplacement (Flak Battery), shot down by any of the numerous 2cm AA protecting the 8.8. Not exactly the concrete type of occurence you probably have in mind, I agree. Not sure but was there something about japanese Kamikaze pilots applying their method to combating ground troops? Im not sure, dont clearly recall. You also need to keep in mind that Originally posted by Michael Dorosh: Because this happened ALL THE TIME.you have a point about RealLife, but in ToW just like CMBO, CMBB WW II occurencesd are being inflated. I mean, how often did IS-2s take on "King Tigers" ( ) in real life? And guess how often this happened, the world over on computer monitors in CMBB so far? Now, when Dorosh's typhoon makes Reichenberg's house levitate over the battlefield, and ajj 1912's Sherman 50cal AA gun shoots it down, does it land on Meyer44's vehicle or on the evil witch of the west? or of the east, should I rather say? And will Dorothy be able to enter the house to recrew it? Will ToW even have accurate maps of Kansas? That, gentlemen, is the real question, and I would really like to know the answer. Er, answers. Or somefink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have respect for the recovery crews in World War II that had to recover the thousands of abandoned tanks on open roads because their tranny blew out or something.

After taking out the lousy tank that shot them down with the enemy AT gun down they would have to shout out, "America! F**k yeah!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franz Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 Dorosh, you obviously did not think about Stuka dive bombers when said downed aircraft would never land anywhere near the ground forces that shot them down. Stukas used to dive at near vertical or fully vertical angles during attacks on ground units. I think it is very feasbile to include the chances of downed aircraft crashing into forces of value.

Stukas very rarely acted as tactical close air support, though, especially during a running battle, and probably not at all in 1939-40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpo Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 and at what angles would 123 attack? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabe. Posted October 28, 2006 Share Posted October 28, 2006 I just wonder - will my pz6 crew paint kill rings on the AA mg barrel after takeing down few flying fortress? On a more serios note - will there be paratroopers? If they're included i hope they'll be able to jump from the plane right in the empty enemy tank, so i wont have to wait my grunts to cross the hole map to recrew the thing.

pimpo Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 my point was since the Hs123 had 2 machine guns and up to two 70kg bombs so i would expect the best way to kill tanks would be to dive like a stuka trying to score direct hits on the engine deck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
