Guest Manson1975 Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 September 21th, 1942. U.S. B-29 Superfortress makes its debut flight in Seattle. In fear of the German attack from the eastern coast of the U.S., this four-engine heavy bomber was created by Boeing, the B-29 can fly at altitudes of 30,000 to 40,000 feet, carry over 9000kg of bombs, It was the largest bomber used in the war by any nation. Commanders, summon your league members to create this monster from the League Munition factory, and rain death upon your enemy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barthel Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 Flak 36/37 being produced in limited numbers and capable of the dual role for Anti-Tank and Anti-Air. Imagine seeing a city with a defense matrix of just a couple 8.8mm flaks setup around causing the incoming formations do scatter and reform. I think it's time we, well the devs, implement one of the true dual role devastators for the time period. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barthel Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 (edited) That what the flak 36 is. It's the 8.8 cm flak cannon. 88 was just a nickname. The first generations of the cannon were the flak 18/36/37. Years respective obviously. The second and last generation was the flak 41 which basically sucked and only a couple dozen were made.

Barthel Posted September 22, 2016 Report Share Posted September 22, 2016 That's our purpose isn't it? To spread the knowledge unto others but yeah back to my suggestion. I personally would freaking love to see an 88 deployable. I would suggest keeping it as a regular army unit but a very very high tiered one at that. Maybe level 12 factory? Only reason I suggest such a high start is because let's face it, if you can produce tigers with the same exact cannon, why not be able to produce a defensive unit just about equaled to the tiger. Obviously game stats would not match real world, but I would much rather have a band of 88s down the line at a higher city level than a plethora of AT and bofors sitting around. This consolidation of the dual role into such a vital historical unit like the flak would be impressive on this game. Also picture this. Imagine your traversing the map as we all do, and encounter a random waffen patrol. Yeah well this time it's not a tiger ace, or a resource vehicle. Instead a static 88 with a couple lighter units around it. That would be such an awesome and terrifying fight through the fog of war. The katies rockets are sitting at around 300 and that's the rockets. Think about the 88s range combined with a scout. Good lord I'm not saying make it like 500 but we can keep it somewhat crazy because this thing was designed to be anti-air shooting miles into the sky my total .25 cents into this topic. I just see the Flak being a very decent armament to add to bring just another level of historical value and realism to the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZolarKeth Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 It's actually a good idea for the turret to be replaced as a Flak 38 or a flakvierling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outlaw85 Posted October 15, 2016 Report Share Posted October 15, 2016 The City turrets are actually this here. They were known to be extremely hard to destroy and the few that got destroyed where by ground forces at night time. If you want to know more look up the history of German Flak Tower. Here is the link to learn more and why they are using this.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flak_tower. Bottom picture is the League City Turrets.

Mountbatten Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 The Landkruezer P.1000 Ratte would be a great unit,seeing these things rip through enemy forces would be a pleasure,and I'm sure it would rival the Tiger Tank Aces in the game.

Barthel Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 I was actually waiting for someone to bring the ratte up. Only thing is how would you honestly incorporate this into the game? The ratte shouldnt be a deployable unit by a player. I mean come on, look at its specs so if you want to just pwn for days. You'll have the ratte as it moves like a snail across the map... BUT the main point is it was only ever a fantasy by hilter and Speer ended up cancelling the project. If there was an actual prototype built I would say, consider adding it as a boss unit or something equal to the HQ but since it's only ever been on paper no go. Of course this is purely my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountbatten Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Don't forget that Blitzkrieg and Large Transports exist,I'd honestly say that obtaining Ratte armaments should be from blasting ten or more Tiger Tank Aces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barthel Posted October 20, 2016 Report Share Posted October 20, 2016 Still going back to my point that every armament we see in the game was produced and implemented on the field during ww2. The ratte was not. It was only ever on paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barthel Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 Florian if the "acht-acht" is implemented it would be far more devasting then the self propelled AA. And that's historically speaking too. The problem would be creating the unit itself because it was usually always towed behind a half track because of its weight. Luckily in emergency situations(with the later, heavier carriage) the 88 can fire without having to be deployed but it's far more accurate and effective when given the two and a half minutes to deploy each of its axles and take aim at a target. I personally love the 88 since the Tigers turret has the 88 cannon as its main armament. Badass much? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
