Now that we are getting the Ju-52(flyable) I would like to see a new system to resupply airfields if possible

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

Yes, I wish locking fuel loads were possible for individual planes.

It's possible, they've done it for InWar. Fighters go with 100% fuel and standard guns. That would work well with a transport plane

[6./ZG26_McKvack]

Oh the glorious Contrails at 10k that so rarely visiteth us, the Bombers doing all the actual work, how overrated ar't thee.

The Money should actually be spent on bringing us more Multirole Aircraft, Attackers, Bombers and Transports and maybe even liason Aircraft.

 

"Oh look up thou' dirty Scrubs and witness the many different types of spreaders of Contrails high up, Prey we are nonetheless to Il-2s and Peshkas, 'cause too glorious are thee, the fighters, to come down."

Two things I know are fake because they never come down to help me.

It's great that the Ju-52 will perform charity work to benefit other players who wouldn't be seen dead in a transport aircraft.  I used to do something similar in Rise of Flight, performing lengthy reconnaissance tasks which unlocked better aircraft at forward airfields.

 

What reward did I get?  Nothing.  Nothing at all.  Except an occasional: "Thanks for the Fokker D7, bitch. LOL" in the chat bar... 

 

What I want in a transport aircraft is a reward to me for a mission successfully flown.  I want a personal incentive to fly the aircraft and a visible mark of success under my name when the job gets done.  A player in a Ju-52 needs to hit the TAB key and be able to see their tonnage-to-death ratio.  Their stats as a transport ace should be recorded and visible the same way a fighter or bomber pilot gets to see theirs.  Nobody will want to carve out a career in MP that  guarantees online obscurity.   

 

The Devs really need to think clearly on this.  Or an otherwise useful aircraft with no ego incentives for the player will just be a failure.

Should have joined the Syndicate.  We loved our spotters and even flew cover for them and manned their guns!  Ah the good ole days.

Not so sure about that. I mean you can clearly see in the DD discussion thread and here that the Ju-52 is really popular. And maybe they see new gameplay ideas for the 52.

 

And dont forget, the Ju-52 is already ingame with an externial model, FM, working gunner, damage model. Only thing missing is the cockpit + gunner interior station.

I see were your coming from , but the P-40 was also popular by demand yet i hardly see a P-40 online .

Not too worry i am sure they will make a good job of it .

That does not mean it's not popular in SP.

To those screaming for new fighters instead of the Ju-52, think about why devs have chosen it. If you get your shiny new Focke Wulfs and 109s now, what will there be left to put into a new expansion? There's a reason they're holding them back for now.

 

We'll see how succesfull Tante Ju is when devs decide to continue making more seperately availabel aircraft.

Actually, Syndicate was where it happened.

What I'd like with the Ju52 is a better looking ground, because I'll have a lot more time looking at it.

Does the Ground actually have different Physics for different types Ground? Brown fields being softer and bumpier than Green etc.? 

I think there should also be a possbility for Short, Improvised Runways just for Transports.

 

Same Nature as this:

JGs just trigger my funny bone. 

The Mods are quick to filter out unproductive Comments and I don't really mind. You most likely missed several others. 

 

I'm really interested in how the Ju-52 will turn out, with armament Options, Ambulance, Cargo and what have you. There are so many ways this could take especially in Multiplayer. I love Bushflying and simple, rugged Transports. 

 

I think this is probably my favourite Ju-52 (Nothing beats Diesel)

Perhaps ego-incentive isn't the most apt description, but what I meant was a personal reward in the mission achievements screen the same way the fighters and bombers get theirs.

A separate column to the aerial kills and ground targets and your deaths.  One that shows the number of tonnes of cargo that you have delivered for example.  Also a message on the side of the HuD like the other players have enjoyed for years.  One that says "Gambit21 has successfully evacuated 21 wounded"  or delivered 1500kg of supplies etc. It gives you a little bit of a lift to see your achievements recorded and not lost to time doing charity work to help some other guy get the uber plane and further pad their stats..

 

The secret of success of MP is for Multiplayers to come away from a game feeling like they've won something. 

 

and Cheers Nil!

 

Agreed!

A Ju-52 with inline engines looks very...unfamiliar

But the longer you look, the better it becomes. It's just a beautiful engine in a beautiful Aircraft.

Reminds me of a house radiator for the heating.

If your house radiators look like that, I'd suggest that you go without heating in 3 rooms and then build yourself a Ju-52 !!!!

[6./ZG26_Klaus_Mann]

It's the most german sounding Engine in the History of Germany.

I would like see exhaust smoke to be modeled in game.

It's kind of what Junkers does these days.

Same layout as the Fairbanks-Morse engines used on US Navy submarines in WW2.
