Fiesler Fi156 Storch

[fergal69]

Should there be a Fiesler Storch.

 

There could be missions for;

 

Rescuing downed pilots - take off from friendly airfield, rescue downed pilot & then return to airfield. Challenge would be to find a suitable place to land/take off from, such as a road.

 

Recon for ground attack aircraft - Maps would not have any logged enemy until on them until a recon mission has flown over the area, & then the units can be marked on the map for the ground attack aircraft to attack.

 

Or, you can just fly it generally around the battlefield.

You forgot cable laying missions

 

 

I think the Fi 156 is such an iconic aircraft with lots of weird mission possibilities. Not to mention (the incredible at that time) STOL capability.. And that landing leg design! Having a proper physics-behaving Storch in a flight sim is a dream of mine

 

I think as far as BoS is concerned - realistically having the Storch as an AI-only aircraft would be enough. But then, there is the more important transport situation that should take priority (such as Ju-52).

I need a "yes to all" option.  

 

We can't leave out liaison aircraft any more than we can leave out transports.

YES to all from me too.  A very useful and immersive aircraft for the series.  Add artillery spotting, air-ambulance and communications flights to the list of roles.  How many other aircraft can boast such a wide number of roles?

I realise that time and resources are limited, but it does seem a shame to be without the transports and recon planes, doesn't it? They really helped make the scene come to life,IMO.

Hopefully we can get some static ones, at least.

How nice a Storch would be to fly

Given the limited time and resources, I wonder if the developers will accept 3rd party planes done by talented members of the community. That's how a number of aircraft found their way into the old Il-2 (Mosquito, Tempest, Do-335, etc.). This could be a possibility to add planes like the Fi-156, Fw-189 or Po-2 to BoS.

With the quality of the planes in this sim, anyone contributing something useful would have to be very, very good, I'd say professionally good. I think user made stuff, at least initially, will be simpler things like buildings or vehicles.
